about Maxis warranty set, I checked with Maxis upon purchase. The iPhone warranty coverage of 12 months is VALID if:
1) you do not Jailbreak the iPhone 2) the iValue account is still active within 12 month So yr a 'after market' buyer of Maxis set, make sure the owner who register for the fone has the account kept active, if not, the warranty will void, even below 12 months. |

oh yes,, tht is if u restore back before going back to Maxis. Wht I meant was yr set is JB (not restored) and sent for claims, then it's void.

Answer is NOPE. I think this has been replied a few postings away, do read again. Maxis will only bar the SIM CARD and not fone.
In fact, I am using DiGi with my Maxis iPhone now, if my Maxis line is barred, let's say if they bar my iPhone IMEI number too, the barring will be valid in Maxis network only. So if I use the DiGi line under DiGi network, the barring can't take effect, logical? |

QUOTE(PeeEl @ Apr 23 2009, 02:03 PM) I am not a technical person but if the telco bars the IMEI which is an integral mechanism, for want of a better word, of the phone, no matter what card you insert, same would be disabled, no? PeeEl,Say, just say you are right, what about those new owners who are using Maxis as well? As per your analogy, the iPhone will be useless to them then, right? But there is still hope (I hope) since the customer relations officer I spoke with said that Maxis will only suspend the SIM. However, with this unchartered territory lingering in one's mind is not good.  Okay, you're saying Maxis can 'trigger' a lock thru it's network to disable the iPhone thru recognizing it's IMEI number, right? Hmm... I've not heard of such thing before. ANyhow, there could something like this. If I am using the iPhone over other telco (like me now, in DiGi), if my Maxis line got barred, they're not able to enable the trigger, cos it's not running on their network, hence the fone can't be barred. If so, u might wanna remove the Maxis simcard before ur line got barred from the iPhone then. |
