as most of u experiencing the lateness, me on the other hand, had been told to collect my phone 11 days before the collection date.... which i have to decline since i only have the money to collect on the collection day itself....

i think you have problems understanding. retail is when there is ex-stock. so i am saying when there is ex-stock, will the prepaid plan be back on. i am now defining for you. you don't retail when you have no stock on hand. no stock = booking. ex-stock = retail.

refer to the answer above for your question. i already say. read before asking. thanks for defining but maybe u need me to quote ppls answer only u can know where to start reading.

i just went back from maxis center at sacc mall, shah alam and sunway maxis center and both prepaid plan confirm disable by them. sadly to say that for non-book customer need to wait for 1 month which is end of September for new batch to arrive as they said.

Thanks dude, thats the answer i need. An exact timeframe ! Better then people who will only quote others saying stuff like surplus stock. Surplus stock can be when nobody already want to buy the phone and it lays there for weeks waiting for a buyer.

i have found a few non maxis affiliated handphone shops who have ex-stock of the 3gs(maxis version) but the prices are raked high. no need contract or prepaid, just buy and go.

guess I should make some update. Currently in KLCC & spoke to maxis & they as confirmed, no pre-booking allowed for non-contracts iPhone. Which means iData1 & Hotlink booking is not possible. The guy told me that with pre-book, you'll have to wait for max 30 days. Now they are smart, no longer provide exact days..

Where are those shops? How much are they selling?

I made full payment RM2490 on my Iphone 3GS 32G Black @Labuan Phone shop(MEP).Should get my Iphone on first week of August...but didn't happen...Maxis didn't kept it promise and did not distribute any 32G Phone to Labuan.....Call Maxis.... can only receive on 18th August...
true or not still a ???. Full Payment on iphone still no phone...maybe have to wait for the moon to fell down...Maxis Maxis

2490 for 32gb ? you getting with contract ? sandakan apple shop have no stock even when i have prebooked before launch. they have't even have a chance yet to see the stock arrival since launch date.

does that means maxis iphone3gs that can be bought with hotlink is locked to the network ?

first time i hearing people pay full amount in advance. Why did u do that anyway? They should only ask for RM200 deposit. Not full amount.

Maybe you can call maxis and ask to talk to a supervisor. It is not right of them to ask for full payment but unable to provide the stock.

With RM2490 for a 32GB, that's obviously a scam.

Yeah, pretty weird to hear that they actually requested for full amount.
That is definitely not right.
Even at Switch, that sales assistant told me to pay 500 for the deposit, i din bother to do.
RM2490, maybe he's signing up contract or so.
Anyways, i've just called up the MEP where i booked mine at (which they did not accept any deposit from me).
They finally asked me to pay my deposit as i'm the 1st on the list right now.
Booked on 31st July, 16GB white.

hey ppl, just to share my words. I booked my set which is a 16GB on the 2nd of August and on that day itself I went to The Garden's Maxis Centre to enquire more and apparently yea they have stopped taking in orders for those non-contract basis plan due to the high demand and lack of stock.. But i went back to the MEP near my house and paid RM 200, the staff at my place didnt inform me bout not allowing us to purchase the phone on non-contract basis.

It was efficient I can say as my phone arrived the next day... But I only collected it on the 7th of August which is like 5 days later only. I asked if they are still taking in orders for the hotlink plans and iDATA 1 ... They say yea, you can still order no problem. But the time varies la.. =) I hope this helps

@mandyxt
nope, they din call me and asked for the deposit or so.
Expect them to call me but today i just call to make sure i'm still on the list as i had a feeling that i need to pay the deposit in order for them to get me my phone. So i'll be paying up my deposit tomorrow.
Who knows, maybe they have stock tomorrow and i'm able to collect it on the spot. =)

fren, maxis i3GS is Officially Unlocked...... even u signup d maxis plan or purchase thru hotlink it is Officially Unlock...

Oh ouch.. that's kinda long.. cos I got mine after a few days upon booking.. Maybe you can consult samcheengsan from lowyat.. his branch is in PJ SS2 and apparently I guess he has stocks on the 16GB white.. but only one left the last time i was updated...

I tested the 3G speed on the speedtest.net app.

Maxis NEVER went above 1Mbps download speed!
The maximum is around 0.7-0.8 Mbps.

I thought Maxis is as fast as 3.6 Mbps?!
Gimme at least 1.8Mbps, PLEASE.

i just only tested last few week, speed seem ok in the iphone

You stay around Bukit Bintang?
Because I was told that Maxis's signal strength is the strongest at that area.
