Maxis Berhad and Opera Software have recently partnered to launch an original mobile Web browsing experience to 13.9 million Maxis customers in Malaysia. Maxis customers will be able to enjoy the full range of Opera Mini’s features for mobile browsing, which includes surfing at up to six times faster than native browsers, combined with easy, integrated access to Maxis’ content and services ecosystem on its WAP portal.

Jean-Pascal van Overbeke, Maxis’ Chief Operating Officer says, “We are pleased and proud to introduce the Maxis Opera Mini browser to further enhance and enrich the Malaysian and Maxis experience of the online universe from any screen, anywhere. This introduction complements Maxis’ constantly expanding offerings of relevant content and services, with a unique version of the Opera Mini browser that is experienced in its full capability by any Maxis customer, over the entire range of device types. This also takes Maxis further towards its goal of connecting more Malaysians across more interactive Internet touchpoints, through partnerships that bring true value and innovation.”

From 27 May, customers may surf to m.opera.com to download the Maxis Opera Mini 4.3 or 6, the latest versions over the air (OTA) without incurring any cost. An alternative would be to SMS “Opera” to 26000 to receive a direct link to download the browser.
