hmm, anybody using a supp line manage to pre-book for iData plan?

i'm using a supp line, value plus family 30 (eligible for iData according to website), and tried pre-booking for iData, but when it comes to step 3, i cannot select iData. only the prepaid option is available.

i selected "No" for the question "would you like to upgrade to Maxis principle post paid line?" since i want to remain as supp line. when No is selected only prepaid option is available. only when Yes is selected, then iValue and Prepaid opens up. iData remains close all the while.

Frustrating

Anybody else having the same problem?

hi bro, thanks for the help but i don't think it means the entire iPhone booking is only available for Principle postpaid account holder only like you mentioned.

in the pre-booking form, there's an option that says "I want to book for a supplementary number" and it allows you to enter your supplementary number.

what the FAQ meant by "please request your principal line subscriber to book on your behalf" is that the principal line subscriber is the one that should fill in that pre-booking form online on behalf of the supp line. meaning the name, IC, etc. should be the principal's name and IC, but in the field supplementary number, that's where you key in your own number if you are the supp line.

anyways, i just got off the line with their callcentre, operator said there's a problem with the form and they've been notified about it already. She asked to try again tomorrow. sigh

they also gotta fix the site for the supp line subscribers. for supp line, can't click on iData plan for no reason. button disabled.

yeap it's confirm, coz i followed a friend yesterday who went to pay his deposit at Maxis KLCC. just showed them his reference number he got from the sms they sent him.

@hokkianu i
it should be alright, coz i sorta did the same thing. since i'm the supp line, i kinda registered and paid for my principal line's (my dad's) behalf. got him to forward me the sms registration code. but REMEMBER to give your friend your IC number as well, they'll ask for it. plus your name and telephone number you wanna register.

woot, finally solved my problem. went to Maxis KLCC, they directed me to their PC (despite me protesting that it's the same website and i've already tried it and it doesn't work!), and voila. it works. "

neways to make this post relevant, just to let you guys know:

collection at Maxis KLCC for 31/7/2009 at the morning slot (9 am to 11am i think), has been FULLY BOOKED.

hehe however i somehow feel that we shouldn't be trusting so much on what Machines say though, coz in my opinion they're probably as informed / ill-informed as us about this, and they are at best, speculating about this. i don't blame them of course, it's not their fault lol. maxis is not keeping their MEPs well informed enough.

my idea of the whole situation is maxis has already allocated a maximum number of units per outlet / per timeslot to sell, that's why certain timeslots are fully booked. so in other words, there should be enough for everyone. haha of course, i'm speculating as well, so my guess is as good as anyone else's , so don't take my word for it

there's one thing i wanna give Maxis props:
They didn't follow Singtel by distributing the phone only from ONE location on the first day. If not it'd be exactly what happened there, 3000 plus people all in one spot, waiting between 2 to 5 hours just to collect the phone. I think Maxis went the smart way by ensuring you can collect from multiple locations all around on the launch day itself.

anyways, let's all hope everything turns out fine on launch day!

dude, go to that same URL you posted.

scroll down.

and read Terms & Conditions, point 4.

"Hotlink customer needs to ensure that their line has validity in order to receive the free 500 MB data every month in their Hotlink plan."

yeap that's right. just remember to keep the receipt for the deposit you paid, coz you need to show it to them on the day of collection
oh, and bring your IC too

i heard from an insider that the stock is already with Maxis since last week when bookings were opened up to public. So we could assume that since Maxis already has the stock, it already knows how many booking slots to be issued out to the public, and chances of overbooking are low.

plus, with the one week grace period between bookings deadline 24/7 and the collection date 31/7, that might give them extra time to tally the number of bookings and order for extra stock to arrive if overbooking happens.

haha of course, all this, as with all supposedly "insider information", should be taken with a grain of salt. well, heaps of salt if you want. it's still speculation. but it's fun to speculate

haha i think you missed out the part where i said "So we could assume that since Maxis already has the stock, it already knows how many booking slots to be issued out to the public, and chances of overbooking are low."

don't worry, it's linked.

if you check out your manual receipt, there's an account number printed somewhere at the top of the receipt. it tallies with the reference number in your confirmation email.

are you sure? pls try checking again. you should see something roughly like this:


OFFICIAL RECEIPT
----------------------------------

Thank You for Using Maxis

Acc Name: ############### <------------------------------------This is your Reference Number in your email
Account No: ###############
Payment for: iPhone 3GS Deposit RM200.00
-----------------------------------------------------
TOTAL RM200.00
Cash RM200.00

REMARK
Ur phone# / IC
Name
Model


The numbers listed as "Acc Name" and "Account No" above are the same numbers as your Reference Number in your email.

hmm probably it's different since you're registering with a new prepaid, right? i have an existing maxis number and getting the ivalue plan.

but hey, like what the others said in the posts above, don't worry too much.

8 more days!

isn't this catered for home broadband instead of mobile? how would this work on your iphone? forgive me if i'm wrong

with all due respect, please check out the Maxis website first for details like this and also the very first post of this thread. this has been asked time and again, and our poor moderators has to entertain the same questions over and over again.

so before you ask any questions, do your own research first, go through the Maxis website, (hint: find for the F.A.Q.), or read the first post, or search through this thread (hint: search feature is at the bottom of this page), and give our moderators a break.

information is all readily available already. only if you don't understand what the information is talking about, then ask a question here.

for those who have successfully collected, care to share how long you waited in line, and how long they take to process one person?

pretty curious.

it's a manufacturing defect, which was also reported in the discussions.apple.com

i believe the 100 free sms is from Maxis to Maxis only. there's a footnote at the bottom of the page saying "* Only applicable for Maxis to Maxis."
but there's no single * indicator anywhere in the chart. i'm guessing it's most probably referring to the sms and they missed it out.

Received my 16 gb black Iphone from maxis klcc. Had to wait in line for about 1 hour. Then about 20 min for registration and all.

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
