Hong Kong Iphone 3GS plan/pricing is out


See it here : http://iphone.three.com.hk/website/en/iplan.html

The plan is out

http://www.maxis.com.my/iphone3gs/rateplan1.asp

But didn't see the release date.... Anyone saw it???

Oh, thanks....I was so focus on the plan forgot all about the FAQs.

The other option to "run" away from this data usage nightmare is to use Celcom 3G which capped at 5GB. But problem is not sure how's their speed and coverage.

I am using DiGi unlimited data plan on my Iphone 2G too, the only disadvantage I see is when you use EDGE, no phone call or SMS can go through. (That's the frustrating part about EDGE).

And I am in the same dilemma like you, to go for iValue Plan or to go for Prepaid option

Celcom 3G unlimited, better coverage... but is the speed and stability comparative to Maxis 3G? Just would need to know better before deciding to choose Prepaid option + Celcom 3G Unlimited or iValue Plan 2 (Maxis 3G)

Yes, exactly. But the prepaid card must be registered under your name.

Mine also, I didn't buy any new prepaid card. However, I was issued only a manual receipt from Maxis center, not a computer generated one.
The maxis center guy was saying I need a maxis number to place the deposit, since I am using DiGi, they can only issue manual receipt.
Hopefully they keep track of my receipt and don't disappoint me on the day of pickup. I will be very pissed off if they failed to give me
the phone on 31st Jul

I checked my manual receipt, Maxis center only indicate my name, registered phone # and IC # only. I think maxis center to center is not aligned at
how they write the receipt. Really worry....because it didn't state my reference # at all.

Mine only mentioned about "Payment for: iPhone 3GS Deposit"
Acc Name : My Name
Account No : My phone #

Remark
IC#

That's why I am worried. Anyway, just have to trust them on this one. I tried to call up 123 but they can't verify whether my booking is valid with deposit. What to do.... have to wait for another 1 week and will know by that time. If they said I booked late and didn't get the phone, i am going to "drill" them upside down as I booked and paid deposit on 15th July.

tinkerbel,

I am not sure how they activate it, but do they need my prepaid card for activation or
they have their own activation use sim card?

It would be great for who ever that pick up the i3GS on 31st July morning to post their
activation process.

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?

Tinkerbel,


So far I have called up Maxis twice, and reconfirm again with them. Only need these for i3GS pick up

1) IC
2) Confirmation letter
3) Deposit receipt

Maxis will register the mobile # that you want to tie with their plan, but the catch is the mobile #
must be register under your name. Same applied to hotlink. No sim required but the number
must be register under the buyer's name.

If you don't have a prepaid and do not want to buy a prepaid card, basically you can give the free
data to your family members or friends by changing the prepaid register name to your name.
Changing of name is free but must be done in Maxis center (The original owner must be there
to change the registered name).
The process is quite fast and will take effect on that day.

I paid my deposit using credit card at maxis center and no additional charges imposed. Would expect the same
as well during the pick up day, however I am not sure about MEP.

Don't mind to share when did you place the booking as well as deposit for your 32GB i3GS?
Can give me Maxis Center Queensbay Mall Penang's phone #? I booked from there too.

Oh....I booked and paid the deposit on 15th July (1st day) for i3GS 16GB.
Was the first person to pay the deposit there.

Anyway, I will pray hard to get it tomorrow.
