KUALA LUMPUR - Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (“P1”), the world’s leading 2.3GHz 4G WiMAX broadband service provider together with Pos Malaysia Berhad (“Pos Malaysia”) today signed an agreement to enable bill payments for P1 W1MAX postpaid subscribers, new P1 W1MAX postpaid account registration as well as purchase of top-up credits for P1 W1GGY Prepaid at almost 600 Pos Malaysia outlets around Peninsular Malaysia, with immediate effect.

“P1’s mission is to provide Broadband for All. We’ve always believed that broadband should be a right and not a privilege, it should be a necessity and never a luxury. Pos Malaysia is a great partner in making P1 W1MAX accessible to as many Malaysians as possible through Pos Malaysia’s extensive network of outlets; and this extends our ability to serve our customers tremendously,” said Michael Lai, Chief Executive Officer of P1.

For new registrations of P1 W1MAX postpaid packages, Pos Malaysia outlets now offer P1 W1MAX Home Lite, Plus and Pro, the Office Premium and Standard packages as well as the P1 W1GGY packages. P1 W1GGY currently offers the highest capacity to the mobile broadband users. The packages are available at no contract with free device, priced at RM59, RM89 and RM129 for speeds up to 600kbps (8GB), 1.5Mbps (15GB) and 3Mbps (20GB) respectively.

“Pos Malaysia is proud to be a part of the P1 W1MAX Broadband for All revolution. We are pleased to offer these services for P1 customers and we Iook forward to collaborate further with P1 and making Pos Malaysia a hub for a multitude of P1 transactions,” said YBhg Dato’ Syed Faisal Albar Group Managing Director and CEO, Pos Malaysia Berhad.

In conjunction with the agreement signing, P1 also announced the availability of Malaysia’s first WiMAX prepaid package, the P1 W1GGY Prepaid. The P1 W1GGY Prepaid starter pack is priced at RM199 and includes Malaysia’s most advanced WiMAX USB modem with 4GB of data included.

P1 W1GGY Prepaid top-ups are currently available at RM20 for 500MB and RM50 for 2GB worth of data. Registration of W1GGY Prepaid can be done online at P1’s website.

In addition to paying their P1 W1MAX bills, P1’s W1GGY Prepaid customers can easily top-up their W1GGY Prepaid credit at Pos Malaysia outlets. To top-up W1GGY Prepaid, customers only need to walk into the nearest Pos Malaysia outlet, fill in top up form and get their prepaid receipt printed for them. P1 customers can also top –up at close to 11,000 e-Pay outlets, which includes most petrol stations and selected P1 resellers.

As part of the collaboration, Pos Malaysia will also accept cash bill payments for P1 W1MAX postpaid customers. To make the monthly bill payment process a breeze, P1 subscribers only need to bring their P1 W1MAX bill to any Pos Malaysia outlet within Peninsular Malaysia. Pos Malaysia will process the payment and this will be reflected in P1’s billing and payment system, under subscribers’ self-care account on the next working day. Currently Pos Malaysia only accepts cash payments for all P1 W1MAX transactions.

Lai explained that the above collaborations with Pos Malaysia are part of P1’s service excellence charter. He concluded that, “Our aim is to plant a smile on our customer’s face.”
