I don't think anyone of us should jump into any conclusion on what Maxis personnel said. Even from the forums here, we noticed that Maxis personnel provides various responses to the same question.

For those early adopters who have received the mail from Maxis, it was clearly mentioned inside and underlined as well "You can also enjoy interest free Easy Payment scheme for up to 24 months that we have put in place for your convenience" I am sure Maxis put it in words for a reason.

Anyhow, let's see how it goes. I will report back here on whether the 0% is valid or not when I get the 3GS as I intend to utilize this facility.

Means you got the phone? I booked on 4th August still no news

just wondering... what receipt u guys got? Is it the one given to us during the prepayment of the RM200 or a seperate receipt?

My receipt is the one given after prepayment of RM 200 deposit, issued by Maxis.

yep i also have receipt prebooking rm 200.
has chop on it "non refundable". annoying. haha

i just want to ask anyone book thier iphone using the card maxis offer RM500 rebate?Because i book but have no receipt..U all have the receipt??

but i book with the card that rebate RM500 they have post to my house they din give me any receipt...Anything i got to do for it?

hello do anyone know if book the iphone using the card that maxis rebate rm500 no need to pay deposit and have no receipt to take?
Because that day when i book they told me no need to pay deposit and also no receipt.

^ the best i would say just drop by the maxis outlet and ask for verification.

Well guys.. .just home from Gardens MV... and guess what?

I GOT MY BLACK 32GB BEAUTY!!!!

So darn happy. Now updating the software which takes 3 blinking hours and sync all my 80 previously purchased apps and games.

The steps I took to get it are:

1] Called 123 (Maxis) and told them I am traveling overseas next week and would like to check on the availability of the iPhone.
2] CS on the line said he can't give me the phone no. to Gardens but instead he will contact them and ask on my behalf.
3] 3hrs later he called back to inform me that Gardens are now processing pre-booked orders up till 8th Aug but adviced me to walk in to confirm and tell them about my situation (traveling overseas)
4] Walked in to Gardens.. took the waiting number and when my turn arrived, I passed the CS my receipt (obtained from booking day after paying deposit).
5] She checked on their system and walked to the store room without saying a word.
6] She then walked out with some documents and the most beautiful black box which says iPhone 3GS on the side!

Hope this helped some of you in your quest to obtain your precious iPhone earlier.

PS. Make sure after getting your iPhone... take the 'Mobile Data' ticket and let them configure your iPhone for you. They already have everything setup on their laptop and it took only 10mins.

Cheers!

@vectorian,
what do u mean by 'Mobile Data' ticket?

When you go to Maxis Gardens (not sure about other branches), you need to take tickets to wait your turn. So 'Mobile Data' is one of the services they provide which you need to take a number / ticket for.

Hope that helps.

When did u book your iphone? I did my booking and paid deposit on 15 august and i went to gardens maxis center yesterday (29 August), i did mention to them that i wil be going overseas on the 7th but they said that i still have to wait for a month..no way they can help to accelerate. I ask them whether i can come n collect by the 6 sept but they said as long as u dont receive any sms or call from us, pls dont come. Damn frustrating. Anyway i will still give a try next saturday b4 i take off on sunday.

Same day as you mate... I believe it was a Saturday I think.

I'd advice calling 123. Inform them of your travel plans and ask for their help to see if you can pick up your iPhone earlier.

Cheers!


PS. posting via my new iPhone.. so darn cool!

For those with the RM500 rebate, there is no need for any deposit nor will you receive any receipt. All you have to do is to register at www.maxis.com.my/vip1 or present your card at any Maxis center and they will register for you. A Maxis personnel will call you up in due time to ask you for your location to collect the iPhone. After which you should receive a SMS notifying you to collect your phone.

I have registered my phone online on the 18th of August and a Maxis personnel have already called me up on the 28th of August to confirm my location of picking up the iPhone.

So now u do picking up your iphone?

trying to call 123 and tell them i'm going overseas next week.
i think this gonna annoy them...haha

my fren found a maxis store that can book iphone3gs without contract at tapah!! dunno can trust anot...

When u were at maxis to collect the phone, did they ask you about receiving any sms from them to collect? Did you mention about your travel plan? or they just look at your receipt and process it immediately without asking any questions? Im trying to call 123..now to try my luck...

This one: they just look at your receipt and process it immediately without asking any questions

The only explanation I guess is that the CS (from 123 Maxis) noted down in the system that I am traveling. Either that or the staff at Gardens yesterday were just too obliging
