@tj01,
We've previously cautioned re pro-rate of charges by Maxis; just too bad U didn't read those posts

@pokemonmaster,
I don't have the letter from Maxis; didn't purchase the i3G from them; just the i3GS

@vectorian,
What issue are U referring to that you're keen to find out?!

@elsheik,
Yes Maxis remains the right to amend their plans as and when they want. However if the information is still available on their website; tell the CS the information is available on the website. They should honour it. Am not sure if U went to make a pre-booking but if U did, then it is true that Maxis has stopped taking pre-orders for those wanting to purchase via the Hotlink Prepaid option. I believe they will re open it when stocks are adequate.

hey, i wanna ask if Value First can go with iphone idata 2??? sorry if this question has been asked b4... if this can, tat means RM30+RM50(value first monthly+idata2 monthly)=RM80 per month? can somebody tell me??

@jlstriker,
U mean Value Plus not Value First. Yes U can add on iData 2 plan to your existing Value Plus plan.

i just checked, it says value first here rm30 per month.... but i'm on Digi prepaid now...this is only for existing plan??

@jlstriker,
Er... U can't sign on the iData 2 plan with your DiGi Value First plan. U must first have an active Maxis voice plan before U can add on iData 2 to it.

this is the link for Value First plan
http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/mobile/pl...lue_plan_30.asp
its Maxis.... if i can go with this plan, im gonna book it today

@jlstriker,
AhHh.. oKies - sorry I don't really keep myself abreast with Maxis plans. Anyhow, U should be able to latch the iData plan with this Value First plan

Really??? thank you so much tinkerbel!! im gonna book it today! RM80 per month!!

aiyakkk...
about to go to subscribe hotlink 3GS package too
erm.... so i have to forget bout iphone 3gs for now

just asking, the cheapest possible to pay per month contract tis IVALUE (RM30) + Idata 1 (rm30)= rm60 per month?
is there any cheaper alternatives except the prepaid plan?
Edit: prepaid plan is not possible anymore, so is the ivalue+ idata 1 = cheapest?

@Jcvendetta,
iData 1 doesn't give you rebate off the price of the iPhone 3GS. U also don't have to be locked in with a contract period with iData 1.

Also I've NO idea Y u people are saying it's no longer to purchase the i3GS via the Hotlink prepaid method. It's still possible except U aren't allowed to pre-book; as stock levels are low only those who's signing on a plan will be given preference to purchase the i3GS. Those wanting to purchase via the Hotlink Prepaid outright package will just have to wait till there's adequate stocks.

meaning, if i take idata1 +ivalue, then i buy the iphone at 2490 + rm 30(ivalue) +rm30(idata1) per month? since u said i dont have to be locked with a contract period, it means i can cancel the rm30 (idata) anytime i want?
so i just pay maxis 2490+rm30 +rm30 for first time? isnt it about the same with hotlink package?

@Jcvendetta,
Yes U can cancel the iData 1 plan at anytime so I guess after the 1st month U can cancel it lah. It's not the same as the Hotlink package because the Hotlink package gives you 500MB of data services FREE p/month for 12 months.

wa, then definitely the hotlink plan more worthy. so i think the idata2+ivalue is thebest alternative then. what do u think?

@Jcvendetta,
Y would U want to latch on an iData plan if you're getting the iValue plans; in the iValue plans, U oredi paid for X amount of data usage. U might as well go with a ValuePlus 30 plan + iData 2.

Can anyone from Maxis explains what the heck is going on the pre-paid plan? I pre-book the phone early this month and did mention I want the pre-paid plan (and they said there's no problem), now the phone is arrived and I been inform to take the phone, but when I go to the shop, they want me to switch to iValue plan, or I will need to wait for 2-3 months (according to them, they are going to oh-hold the phone in their shop for 2-3 months because Maxis are not allow).

On-hold the phone is shop for 2-3 months?? And force people to take iValue plan? What type of service is this??

bro, only value plan 50, 80, 150, 250, 500 & value plus plan 50, 80, 150, 250, 500 & value plus family 30,50 & family plus 30, 50 are eligble for idata plan....

value plan 30 canot latch on idata plan....

please check maxis website for more details....

SOS

commitment fee means, doesnt matter how much ur monthly usage is, u still need to pay minimum RM50 monthly, even if ur monthly usage (calls n smses) is still below RM50, but if u exceed RM50 then u need to pay RM50+RM x(extra charges)

so if u opt for idata2 ur monthly fee will be:-

RM50 (commitment fee) + RM50 (idata2) +(extra charges *if ur usage exceed RM50*)

n im not sure if MMS charges are considered data usage or not

p/s: to safe more, opt for e-bill, safe RM5 monthly

Hi TinkerBel... well I just want to confirm that are we really confined to use the iValue 1 plan for example to a pro-rated 500MB usage on a daily basis?

If you can kindly paste the link to the discussion you mentioned above would be greatly appreciated cause I can't seem to find it.

@avars,
U will be charged separately when U send an MMS but when U download the MMS the size of the MMS will be included in as part of ur iData plan.

@vectorian,
No the plans aren't pro-rated on a day to day basis. It's only pro-rated for the 1st month when U sign up. For example, ur bill cycle is 5th of the month, that means U have up to 4th of the following month to spend whatever your plan is. If you've signed up and purchased your iPhone on 2nd of the month, your plan will be pro-rated for the 1st month.
