Guys and Girls, don't be too nervous about getting all the confirmation and so on. Just make sure you have recieve the sms for confirmation number of your booking and also the receipt that you pay for deposit RM 200. Don't forget to bring along your sim card + cash. No the last,Your Identity Card (Malaysian IC) as well. If not,they don't know are you the right person to hang the iPhone 3Gs to. Just be patient and wait for 2 more days.


Added on July 28, 2009, 3:36 pm1. SMS of confirmation Booking/Printout of confirmation Email
2. Reciept for Deposit RM 200
3. Sim Card
4. Cash
5. Malaysia IC (Must!!! don't forget)

Other than that,don be nervous about what is showing in confirmation email or the receipt of deposit. Each branch has different print out. Just where you pay your deposit,where you get your iphone 3Gs. Don't simply got to other branch to take it. The best is, who you pay the deposit to,try to look for her to take your iphone.

I booked my i3Gs in Tmn Equine Jusco. They photocopy my IC, driving license also and issued manual receipt. But the receipt didn't mentioned the collection date.

Don't worry, the collection is written in your booking confirmation slip already. thumbup.gif

Hi folks, planning to get an iphone. But after some research, found out that the iphone case is made of low quality material. which a lot of people from around the world complain bout the cracking on the case. How serious is the crack?
*
Well,iPhone 3G got this problem. But for iPhone 3Gs,nobody knows is the problem still maintain or not. But as long as you use it gentlely,the problem will be solve. You don't put the iPhone in your pocket to sit on it and so on. Meaning is don't bend the iPhone. When you install other casing,be more gently. I found out if use switcheasy casing,might occur this cracking problem. But if you don't want this casing to be visible,try getting the black one. Will cover the crack. Learn it inside forum.. hmm.gif

I will be getting my 3GS using the new prepaid number plan. I've went to the Maxis center at Midvalley and asked if I need to get the prepaid SIM first before I get the phone this Friday. They said don't need wor, I can get the prepaid SIM after I get the phone.

Not sure if I heard correctly but I thought we need SIM first so they can actually activate it? (collecting mine at machine)

The number that I used to booked the phone is a DiGi number btw and I told them that too.

Confused. I don't really want when I collect my phone they need the SIM card first...  (x__x)
*
Oh no..... You book your iphone 3gs with Digi number? So which means you are not maxis user,right? Have you pay the deposit already? I did this mistake once when I book on behalf of my mother. She is using Celcom. After I book, I call 123 to check with the status. Guess what 123 guy tell me? If you don't plan to move your celcom number to maxis,never book on that number. You have to get a hotlink number to book it. If haven't pay for deposit,then can throw the booking aways and rebook. doh.gif

Xenohawk,
Don't worry. I also booked my i3GS with non-maxis number (DiGi). Yesterday, I just called the maxis support and was
informed that my deposit is shown in the system and can collect on time.

If you are worry and want to confirm, why not call up the maxis support and ask them to confirm for you that your deposit is in?  nod.gif
*
What I know is deposit can't be refund unless there are any special case. I believe you have to call up maxis careline to clarify this issue to them. Hope they will treat this as a special case to refund or change your booking telephone number. Please take this action immediately. If not,I'm really worry that things might get worse..... shocking.gif

The iPhone 3GS is delayed due to shipment problem. We have yet to receive a confirmation / estimated time of the iPhone 3G s stock from Maxis. Once we get the stocks, we will personally contact customer. "

I cant get it on time ~ @@

Isn't this suppose to be the bad news among all. You book it at machines? So does this means that this will also affect the collectoion at MEP? Hope the stock is available to everyone with early booking. Well,tomorrow is d'day. shocking.gif

I just call 123 to confirm whether can I collect tomorrow. The 123 guy say can. As long as you have done your booking...So which means that we have to go earlier for the queue. Early bird always have the priority to get the fat worm,isn't it...

All this information from Machine? I think that ppl who collect from Machine will have this problem. If direct from Maxis Center,the problem will be less, all the stock will be divided to all maxis center first,then got extra will sent to Machine and other Maxis dealer... doh.gif

Don't worry too much about the screen. If really come yellowish,we also can't do anything because it aren't hardware failure. Just use it. Maybe after few days,u will get used to it. They all say is warmer. Shouldn't it warmer better? icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi guys, I'm wondering 1 issue. Do you think it is the strategy of Maxis to handle the processing for iPhone. The stock might have arrived all. And I've collected my iPhone 3Gs 32gb white. I'm thinking that will it be Maxis letting ppl who book 16gb take their iPhone first,because they are scare that if everone rush in to Maxis center,the whole building will as well collapse. So they let the 16gb ppl take first cz 16 gb got more ppl booking. When 16gb is halfly distribute finish,then they inform 32gb bookers to collect. Like my case,I went to maxis this morning and they say 32 gb haven't arrive,but when 1.30 pm,they call and say have already arrived. It's weird. Until now I still recieve the email saying changing the collection date to 5/8/2009. But I've collected today cz Miri is a small city,so is faster to finish distribute 16gb for today. Cz I remember I heard the maxis ppl in miri says that, the 16gb order for today is finish distributed. So after 16gb then is 32gb turn...

QUOTE(sookk @ Jul 31 2009, 09:50 PM)
It is not logical to do this since it is a logistic nightmare to split the stock 16GB and 32GB (why pay for the shipment cost 2 times when you need to pay once for both to arrive). Furthermore, it doesn't explains the reason why Machines never receive stock of 16GB in certain locations as well.
*
No no no....Not seperate to 2 shipment,but they delay the time for 32gb although the stock has arrived. All the shipment comes together. Like the other forumer,they go in try their luck and say got 32 gb... know what I mean? If u didn't make a move to go in,then for 32gb booker will have to wait until the selective date set by maxis through sms or email..

You do not get the point do you?

Lemme make it easier for you to understand.

Maxis centre KLCC, TTDI, Sunway and Gardens DO have stock for the 32gb.

Machines do NOT have any stocks at all for the 32gb.

Read again, he collected from Gardens Maxis Centre thats why theres no problem.

Problem is Machines not getting their 32gbs. Thats the problem.


Added on July 31, 2009, 9:58 pm

You wont be able to finish all 500mb it if its just normal twitter/facebook or Youtube surfing. smile.gif
*
I got ur point saying Machine didn't get the stock, because Machine is an agent, not maxis center. All the stocks goes to Maxis center first, before go to agent.. Hope you understand. Not Maxis act like that, is because the time might be pack,or they just recieve the stock enough for their own center.

it took me very very long to finish though.

1.15pm - barge in, vincent does checking and everything
1.45pm - i'm told that the submission to change my plan to their system has to wait for about half an hour (i'm port in, from digi, and maxis set me to VP50 during the port in)
2.45pm - went back to machines, unfortunately, forgotten my cc, went back to my car and take
3.00pm - line up for my turn again!
3.30pm - got my turn, and process were done in about 45 minutes.

you should either go down to the center or give them a call.. I believe the phones should be there already...

Yeah,from my experience on collecting my 32gb on 31/7 in Miri. The stock has arrived,but they let the 16gb buyer to take first cz scare of too many customer. So you can try your luck in the afternoon. If you know anyone who works in the center and be nice to them,they will let you collect the iphone 32gb earlier. from my experience,cz I know a representative inside the maxis center,so she call me up at 1.40pm on 31/7 and tell me that I can collect my 32gb already. And during that hour,most 16gb buyer has collect their iphone.

i can't find a good proper article to quote but here's a forum posting that pretty much explains this very well. Link

same thing happens when you buy hard drives and thumb drives from any other manufacturer.

my 16GB 3GS shows 14.3 GB instead of 16 GB. LOL
*
Normally when you buy a thumbdrive or harddrive, the bigger you buy the more space will be gone for system file and everything that needs memory to operate. That's the law that everyone must understand. Even you buy an 1 terabyte harddisk,you will only get 9++ gb harddisk space left. And every harddisk will have different memory left. Please understand this and do more research on it...

Sigh, I am rather speechless now reading a few pages back that I think it's going to be a matter of fact that I will have to wait till the 18th only can get my phone. Worst of all, I'll be outstation for a week by then.

FYI guys, I am one of them who pre-book my phone at the early stage at Machines 1U. The collection date should be on the 31st of July, morning. Today would be Tuesday, after 4 days of patiently waiting, no news, no call, no message, no email, no nothing.

Call Machines? What's the point of constantly listening to wait till we call you? Darn. This is really being so unfair. Maxis totally screwed this up. Honest speaking, I am not excited on the phone at all now, at least not until I get it.

This would be my latest update on my current condition being one of Machines 1U, Maxis victim.

You can request to open it up by yourself in front of them,cz they need to do activation. They are willing to let as long as you ask. I open up by myself cz I'm not shy upon opening up my virgin phone... brows.gif
