I GOT MY PHONE!!! YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Hehehe.. a bit of a long windy story, and the plot lines and more 'terror' than pirates of the caribean... so don't get up hopes up too high...
1st, to reconfirm, I have not received any sms, email, call, anything from Maxis. Just decided to walk in to Maxis Center KLCC & try my luck.
I booked on the 14th of August night during the KLCC road show. Receipt from Maxis.
Today went there, buta buta ask, admited that I didn't receive any sms/email.. just trying my luck.. the lady checked, and as she was checking, i noticed the name list includes people who have booked until the 17th of August... so, theoretically, anyone who booked on the 17th & before should be able to collect already (but there's some bad news on this lah)...
my name wasn't in the list... so the lady ask me which type i booked (16G 3gs Black),went to the office, and 5 minutes later, came back, and told me that I can collect, even though my name is not in the list, but fortunately they've got extra unit can spare for me..
I had some personal complications during the registration (which most of you will not encounter unless your personal line is actually registered under corporate plan). Then my experience went through a roller coaster...
1. Waited for 15 mintues for my turn, although I'm the only one waiting for iphone collect (i.e. my turn is no. 501, now is number 500... )then went there, give IC, answer a few questions... bla bla bla... nothing special..
then counter guy (W), goes into office , supposedly to get my phone...
2. W comes out and asks me whether I received any sms/email from maxis to collect, which i told him, Nope. Then he explains to me that the stock they have here are all tagged to a name in the list... batch by batch. Meaning, some people from prebook date 14th would have received the email/sms, and some wouldn't ... and only those who received the email/sms can collect. There's no surplus stock to give out... My smile turned sour.. but I didn't taruh them or anything lah...
3. They call the iphone promoter lady to ask her why she said got unit for me (i.e. bad customer experience), but she explained that she already placed a booking for me when there was an additional unit, so then they checked back the system, and so ngam, really got such ting wor.. hahahaha...
So, then they apologize to me for the confusion, and got me my phone... yeah....
So, from here, my conclusion is that... batch 4 just came out, and in that batch, there are selected customers who have prebooked until the 17th, but does not necesarily mean that everyone has been sent an email/sms from maxis yet.
That said, originally, they may have had 1 @ 2 additional units here and there in case of Walk In's... but it could be my luck that I got my hands on the last unit... So, I probably wouldn't advise you to go yet... next week friday or weekend, yes.. this weekend.. hmmm.. maybe not.. but of course, up to you lah..
Thats my report for now... Time to go play with my new baby...
Added on September 5, 2009, 5:50 pmOH, and to add on, I heard from the sales people, that they are still sticking to their commitment of within 1 month from the date of pre booking, but I doubt anyone will get 2 weeks already from now on.. most likely have to wait at least 3 weeks....
Good for you man, but I'll still have to wait for their call, if what you said is true, I should be getting a call by next week, but see first lah, will update if anything happens.I GOT MY PHONE!!! YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
