Petition-M1 SMS service

[Les]

Hwei Ling,
I think M1 has given a fair deal - 300 messages a month free. If you
are such a heavy user of the SMS, you should then pay for it as you will
be using the bandwidth as well! If not, feel free to exercise your
consumer right by signing your termination letter with M1.

No thanks to your silly petition.

You guys are damn lucky. Maxis in Malaysia only gives us 30 "free" messages
a month and each additional message costs RM1. And, we've gotta pay
five bucks a month for SMS services!
