I did my pre-book @ Maxis, The Gardens. But yes, the lineholder, gotta be present to sign the contract on that day. Maybe they can hold your iPhone for 14days?

haha... i am sure he wouldnt mind to go maxis centre with me.
It's just that i hope i can make the booking without his actual presence there. dont wanna miss the booking period..

I tried to called maxis cs and the lady said i can always book it online on wed then pay it when my dad is here which is this saturday (25/7). but the f.a.q say all the booking payment has to be made before this friday.... (24/7)

double confirm with her and even bring out the f.a.q and she says its okay...

IINM, yes, since the principle lineholder is the person who is ACTUALLY going to sign and confirm he's going to buy the iPhone. Even the supplementary lineholder can't book the iPhone.

Correct if I am wrong.

Correct.. I read it somewhere also.. Some terms and conditions..

And I wanna ask.. After paying your deposit will Maxis send any verification? Email or SMS? I'm supposed to pay before 20/7 (Today) and if they didn't put my deposit into the system means my booking is already forfeited?

I would say its is forfeit.

Well, after booking you will get a SMS with a ref number (lots of numbers). You are suppose to print out the confirmation email to pay for your pre-book.
I didnt wait for mine, just go there, showed the ref number and paid on the spot. My %$@#$ email only came out 1 day later and its in my JUNK mail summore.

Mine said I can pay anytime before 21/7/2009 (I did my online booking on 19/7/2009. Failure to do so will void your online booking @ www.maxis.com.my.
But you can always just walk into any Maxis Centre, use their comp and pre-book and pay on the spot.

Yes, he do ask for my IC and he said he need to a verification of my booking....

tink, you're a really patient person and you don't even work for Maxis!

I got the SMS and the email. I didn't print the email. Just give him the ref num from the SMS.

I'm just asking. After the SMS and the confirmation email is there any "confirming your deposit" email.

And start waiting...

but since they didnt actually took ur ic and photocopied it. How do they actually acknowledge that you are the lineholder? Maybe i can pay on behalf my dad first ? and have him to be present only when the collection period? Do u think it is possible ?

Sorry mate, I meant they took my IC but didnt photocopy that. Since I also gave my ref number they can see my IC/phone number to do a quick verification.
Perhaps you can just get your dad to call up a Maxis centre of your choice and get them to process over the phone while you are there with the money.

This is certainly something unexpected Only Maxis can make this happen...

ohh.. okay,,
will try to go to one and see how it goes..
thanks for your info ya..

No worries, drop us an update to see how it goes. It might help more people out there with this info.

Cheers~

i m wondering, what if I have already sign up a 3G plan few months back with 24 months plan, if i wanted to change to 3Gs, how?

hello guys, anyone faced problems with the confirmation e-mail? I got the e-mail but it's giving me some junk tags .. even viewing source also cannot see the booking ref num .. re-send N times also like that .. anyone countered this issue?

@LanEvo7,
Try sending to another email address of urs?!

@tishaban,
Ah well.. it's my way of 'giving' back + it helps increase my post count ! muAHahAHhaHAhaH j/k. But seriously, you're right - Maxis should be paying me us for doing their job

Btw U still have $ with me - bila mau collect?!

yea, reasonable just have to pick the plan . i still don't know which plan to pick lol.

@Hollow,
In choosing the right plan for urself, ask urself what you want the phone to do for U and of course it'll be good if U know what your usage is like.

Tried that d .. if i put other e-mail using the "Resend confirmation e-mail" feature, it won't be able to retrieve my booking.. if I forward the original one to my other e-mails (webmail and also office mail) still cannot view .. >_<

@tinkerbel:
