Hi guys

like i said

3 maxis iphone set came in. (Have a Maxis ICON on home screen)

Put in any sim can not lock on to network.

thought maybe sim contact point broken.

but open up and checked all pins ok.

JBed yellowsn0wed did not do any good.
i did not take down the part or serial or IMEI.

the next Maxis iPhone that comes in i will note it.

Just came back from Bangkok and placed a local Thai sim (DTAC) into my Maxis 3G iPhone. No problems or issues at all.

seeing that you are new here, i will give in this time.



jailbreaking and software unlock are completely two different things (however they may be related in regards to yellowsn0w)

jailbreaking allows you to introduce foreign (but desirable) elements to your iPhone. having said that, since the so-called elements are foreign, they are not originally part of the iPhone. in another word, jailbreaking will void your warranty IF it is found to have been jailbroken before.

maxis iPhones are officially unlocked and therefore you don't need any hocus pocus unlocking methods (hardware - sim card adapters and sofware - yellowsn0w).

Nokia2003 has explained it well. Just to add , in Malaysia - all phones are unlocked. It must be sold unlocked. That's the law here in Malaysia. Carriers aren't allowed to sell locked phones in the market. These are the reason why our phones are expensive as opposed to folks in lets say USA !

Jailbreaking on the other hand is actually patching some of apple's code in order to install 3rd party hacks and stuff. It takes your iPhone to a new level !. Oh yeah it voids your warranty !

actually maxis can't even blocked the phone. Cuz Maxis only has a authorized on SIM card and can blocked the sim card only...not the phone. My friends using maxis iphone for 1 month then not pay the bills and guess what, maxis blocked only the sim and not the phone. If you jailbreak your iphone, even it is from maxis you will get no signal after all. you need to use an ultrasn0w for unlock it unless your phone is official unlock from apple™ it self.

I actually do not want to stoop to your level debating with someone who does not know half of what he is talking about. But for the good of the community here, especially those who do not know very much about the iPhone yet, I am taking it upon myself to rectify your unilaterally wrong comments. Before that, do us all a favour, read first to find out more before passing comments which not only mislead people but also make you a clown as mentioned hereinabove.

Jaibreaking is a totally different process from unlocking and it does not affect the phone when it is an unlocked unit. And Maxis dishes out only offiially unlocked sets as required by law.

Telco locked iPhone is useless as a phone. The best option you have is sell it as spareparts. I buy these kind of phones for repair purpose. Contact me at https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=0178399033 should you wanna sell

I myself experienced it, yes Maxis will bar even your iPhone after they barred your line for awhile, and deactivating your line. For those who say Maxis only bar your sim is not TRUE. So proceed with caution.

This is absolutely true. So to be safe, if you wanna buy second hand phone, please buy only from person who bought it from Authorised Reseller like Switch, Mac City, Machines. And request for receipt issued from those shop.
