Are you a Maxis One Club customer?

are you sure they will charge 4% if pay installment? maxis centre ipoh told me there wont be any charge for Zero Interest Installment Plan if we use MBB (24mths), HSBC(12mths) and PBB(12mths) credit card.

u guys seem to receive 32GB first. How about 16GB? Any update?

I booked 3GS 16GB black on 1 sept at maxis centre ipoh. Today I tried my luck, walk in and ask. Still they dun hav stock.

Then tried call 123 and ask. "Booking from 1 sept onwards will hav to wait 30-45 days" was wat i get.

When I bought my new car, I just had to wait 3 days. iphone 45 days... ridiculous...

i wan to know... will our plan selection during our booking affect the turnaround time? i mean for example, choosing ivalue plan will receive iphone faster than choosing idata? priority given to ivalue plan? wat about maxis one club member? does anyone hav any idea?

sorry.. i didn't read the news... what's the purpose of maxis giving out free phones to students? tie contract with them? charity?

I suggest u go to maxis centre and ask rather than wait for your bill. Perhaps your data plan is not updated/activated in their system yet.

So good... I booked mine on 1 sep. I tried my hard way at maxis ipoh this morning. but still they dun allow me and said wait for their call. I wonder now maxis is playing profiling... haih...

mememe12, I'm facing exactly the same situation as yours. I booked mine on 1 sept at maxis ipoh. today received a call from maxis, told me all the grandmother story of worldwide shortage la, nationwide shortage la, and main distribution point is in Klang Valley la, thats why outside Klang Valley, lower priority la. I asked what the hell... that "mother mary" told me to wait another 14 days. I was expecting to collect on 1 oct and now they are telling me this bulls***?

the official receipt mentioned collection date is 30 days from booking date. so we commit RM200 for 30 days. they can't deliver... does that mean maxis breach contract? can we sue them?

Received this message from Maxis too.

"We apologize for a 14 days delay in your IPhone3GS (16GB) collection due to continued worldwide shortage of stocks. We will contact you for collection at your chosen Maxis Outlet upon arrival of stocks."

I booked mine on 1 Sept at Maxis Ipoh. Heard many members here got their phone already even though u guys booked at later date.

*sigh* I feel dejected and disappointed at Maxis. I feel so excited when the 30 days have arrived, but this bulls*** message... "love" it so much... holy mother mary.

For CIMB 0% installment plan, the procedure is like this. 1st, get the shop name and call to CIMB card centre to inform about the purchase. After they give green light, then proceed to charge your card full amount. Then call to the card centre again to convert the purchase to 0% installment plan. Only 2 options available: 10 mths or 20 mths. 10 mths will attract 3% handling fee while 20 mths will incur 5% handling fee.

So if RM2000, 2000 x 3% = RM60 charges. The charge will be reflected in your statement. Monthly installment will be RM2000 / 10 mths = RM200.

Alternatively u can use EON Bank credit card too. The advantage: No need to pre-inform card centre. They allow longer installment period:
6 mths - 2.5% handling fee
12 mths - 3%
24 mths - 5%
36 mths - 7%

RHB Credit card also allow retail purchase conversion to installment plan, but the handling fee is very high, 9% for only 12 mths.

Empty promises after empty promises. Lies after lies. Excuses after excuses. Maxis always repeat the same things no matter how i chase them... email, walk in centre, call or whatsoever.

Already 30 days, no collection, no nothing. onli got tat goddamn sms telling me to wait another 14 days. i used to be so excited, anticipating my iphone on this day...but now all i get is disappointment from maxis, one after another.

those who have taken your iphone, i really envy u guys. those who just placed ur booking, i wish u luck. godspeed!

What is Maxis doing right now? I wish to know what their playing card is! How can they treat people unfairly? Shouldn't it be first come first serve basis?

keevster, how lucky u are... congratulations.
