That's not true another poster here (sorry guy I didn`t follow your post and cannot find it now!) found out they bought the full package

And, I do remember from CNN one night, about week 5 of this event.
That Malaysia Air did not purchase the tracking package (?). They got the LOW end deal. That is why they say they got the "Pings" for 7 1/2 hours (every half hour-I believe).
Sound plausable.

I bow to your infinite knowledge on all things aviation but could you provide a link to the fact they had that package I think Gemini sky said they had bought the whole package at the Farnborough air show but I guess saying you are going to purchase and actually signing the contract (especially in these financial times) are two different things
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Malaysia Airlines for long-term TotalCare® services support for Trent 900 engines that will power its new fleet of six Airbus A380 aircraft.
Rolls-Royce already provides TotalCare support services for Trent 800 engines that power Malaysia Airlines’ fleet of 17 Boeing 777 aircraft.
Speaking at the Farnborough International Airshow, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Group CEO, Malaysia Airlines, said: “We are very happy with the support we receive from Rolls-Royce - TotalCare alleviates the burden of engine maintenance and provides significant financial savings. We look forward to receiving the same high level of support for our Trent 900 engines as we undertake this important fleet expansion.”
