its not the phone brother, its the sim account, 1 forummer did mentioned before maxis got issue with their hotlink iphone registration, where some of the users not properly registered to get the 500MB monthly, consider urself lucky because u dont have such issue, not because ure getting 3G instead of 3GS

will go maxis centre tmr at klcc to fix the free 500mb prob, will let u guys know if it needs any trick . I actually called hotlink hotline (got charged rm3 for calling ) and the guy told me he's gonna send 'report' to their team and will require about 7 working days to acknowledge my problem.

Errmm.. I didn't get any email to say I have the 500mb free data (i'm using iValue1).. does that mean I'm getting charged additionally ? The lady I registered my 3GS said that they will automatically switch to the terms of iValue 1 (I signed up for the Value Plus 50 a couple days to since I needed to register a line).

bro
i believe that the free 500mb data only for prepaid user

why dont u check maxis website before replying over here? the iValue 1 does come with 500mb because u have already paid for it indirectly.

based on the few last day posting, what I can deduce is that if I placed a booking at any of the maxis centre, and I've not collect it, chances that it most probably available on 18th Aug onwards, as their email/sms claim.

But if I booked other than maxis centre i.e. machine, I may able to collect it on the agreed date subject to confirmation from the respective outlet.

It's quite weird though as it though there is different stock shipment between different outlet.

I myself booked at the garden maxis centre (via new hotlink) on the 31 Aug and opt to collect it on the 14th Aug. I'll give a call on the 13th later just to check, hoping maxis to honour their agreed date.

hi hopefully someone can enlighten me. If I get the idata2 plan, am I still entitled for the monthly free 500mb data like those for the prepaid plan?

@FuQuo
It's not actually free, u're paying for the 500mb.

I booked mine at a MEP nearby and they told me that they will give me a call when the stock arrive and did not promise me on when will it be. They just told me its about 2 to 3 weeks. Hopefully by 18th Aug they will give me a call.
BTW, i booked mine on 31July but they din accept any deposit from me.

so i only get the 500mb which i paid for RM50 with no extra free data??

@FuQuO
yea... no extra free data. U pay wat u get =)

I booked on the 1st day 3gs released. The staffs there were looked exhausted and grumpy. Maybe due to constant customers grunting at them for the day.

When I told them I like to pay for the deposit, they were puzzled as they thought the booking date has already past. But they accept it eventually when I showed then the confirmed printed email I got from maxis, no question asked.

I called to Machines just now, they told me the stock may arrive on 18th Aug, I was like "What!". For your information, i booked on 24 July and paid the deposit on 28th July. you r lucky if you get the phone early than me which I suspect it is common for the people book from Maxis instead of Machines

Anyone have "insider" information on how many stocks coming on 18 aug? Enough to supply all booked people or we who have already BOOKED still need to go camping to grab one?

I'm one of the 'lucky' guy that did not get the 500MB after 4 days from the date I got my 3gs. I sent a complaint email to maxis last 2 days. Today morning I got a sms saying that the 500MB data is activated and a cus rep call me up to apologize and explain the issue. Its working now. (after paying RM5 to test the 3g data)

Just got the 500MB free data today So I waited like, 2 days only

Yesterday I went to KLCC maxis center to ask them to file a report directly into their database regarding the 500MB free data (instead relying on the CS hotline).

Got my iphone todAy i think i am lucky to get the last and not prebook the dealer called me and told me they got one extra i grab it and wrote this w my first iphone simply like it

There's no SMS/email for postpaid. I'm on VP50 plus iData2. When I registered during purchase of the iPhone, I received a printed confirmation which stated "iData2 plan x 12 months" and there was a line which says "Status : Active." I guessed it was effective immediately. Anyway, later when I called 123 to confirm, they said it's normally active immediately.

I think it all depends on your luck. I booked verbally, no online booking for me, on the 16th and paid deposit on the 23rd with Machines. I got my 32gb 3GS at 5:30pm of the 31st. It was not without some drama as the day before and even the morning of the 31st, Machines was calling to say that I shouldn't expect to receive the phone that day but at 5pm they called with good news.

Added on August 7, 2009, 12:07 amIt's quite common, happens a few times a week to me especially in high density areas. Call 123 to report it so that they know about it.

I FINALLY got my 500MB free data sms yesterday night. so that is almost a week of waiting.. (=__=). Got my phone (prepaid plan) on Sat morning and got the 500MB free data now.

Need to call up CS like 5 times and went twice to maxis center to solve this issue.

Thanks. I guess as long as I don't get this coming month's bill with additional charges, I'm fine.
Am a new Maxis user, so wasn't sure how things are done actually
