I really don't recommend Orange. They are NOT helpful and always throw the buck back to Maxis. They are the ones Maxis CS is chasing to find out what they did with my 2 units of iPhone which I still haven't received. They said maybe sold off or what. Maxis sending replacement units to them to send to us. Really not going to deal with them anymore after this fiasco.

Finally collected my iphone this evening@The Gardens... taken the number and waited for my turn...I just said I came over to collect the

iphone.(I think it's better don't say to check the iphone is available or not )as she did question either I received the call or not..I just said YES.....lol although I didn't.

Then proceed for registration, activation n etc. Totally spent liao 1 hour+ there.

Booked 7th August.

woah..i didnt know can book at pearl point..its just 5 mins from my hse..

hmm.. i booked thru them on 8th August and till now no news. i did called them up last week and the reply was very crude.. "if u dun get any sms or call to collect the iphone means no la".

At least The Switch answer me politely, even i booked early august... But still i urged them to do something

i actually went there to teman my fren buy comics... but i saw the hotlink centre putting many advertisement of iphone 3gs, den i asked if got prepaid plan available or not?? and they said yes!! i straight away book 1 unit!

Darn.... is raining and i cant go out to book. If i book im going to go klcc to book ^^

go to maxis centre, don't go machines, you'll get much faster if you book from maxis.

Anyone from Penang trying to book your iPhone before? i m going to book it tonite.. but then dunno which centre to go so that i can get the 3gs faster...

any recommendation? switch ? maxis?

thx
anyone,
confirm can book prepaid plan at maxis?
coz i think i still choose maxis
get 3gs faster abd if anything happen easy to deal with them

still haven get my iphone, booked on 1st Aug...

told mi to wait wait and wait

because u book at main maxis is faster

guys, if i want to book the iphone without contract, how much do i have to pay upfront? or do i need to pay the full amount?

down payment RM200 then u got to pay the rest when u get ur iphone. under hotlink

@scofield
RM2490 full payment needed for 16gb and RM2990 for 32gb.
Pay RM200 deposit and then the balance will need to be paid upon collection.

It is dangerous paying RM500 blindly as deposit. Maxis only mentioned RM200 as deposit. Better check properly, since the shop u mentioned wasn't in the list of "WHERE TO BUY" from maxis site.

I did call up Maxis and ask them the question. The CS replied eventhough not listed, they are a MEP, so it's ok. But after I have experienced their service, or lack thereof, first and the last time with an MEP. Next time, go straight to Maxis centre.

im afraid too.. but the hotlink shop is quite big(2 shop combined) and it is located at 1st floor pearl point complex. with registered company name.... i asked him why rm500, they say scare we book liao den dun wan.

thanks mate...i think i will make my booking once my cheque is clear

Hi All,

I've been following the 3GS saga unfold on this thread with rising interest.

Does anyone have an experience to share with placing a $200 prebook/order for the iphone 3GS in Sarawak? I understand that relative to KL this area is considered by many to be lawless Jungle, but I thought I'd give it a try and see if there were any other prospective iphone owners in Sarawak with whom I could commiserate.

I booked the unit at a Switch store here in Kuching at the Spring on August 9th and despite calls to Maxis and visits to the store, no one can give a straight answer besides "between now and next year". In retrospect, I should have placed the order with our one and only Maxis Centre and not an MEP, but as the clichee goes c'est la vie.

Any information on the state of orders/stock/etc. of 3GS units in Kuching/Sarawak would be welcome. I know it may not be an answer, but just having a little information tends to ease stress and have most people feel a measure control over an otherwise uncontrolled situation.

Thanks!

lemme ask them later.

just got a call from the shop informing me that its ready for collection.
