Does that mean that once you get the phone, your plans won't directly switch to Idata or ivalue but have to wait the following month?? As i'm taking idata2, so basically it won't be affected what. How come my data charges RM200+

buy iphone 3g at maxis better or buy second hand 3g at this forum better?
second hand 3g around RM1500,how bout maxis ?

what do u guys mean by 'machines'? i saw it couples of times here but i dont understand

shop name

means i used credit card to pay the RM200 deposits at Machines Mid Valley, Machines is a shop name, Apple's official retailer shop

if i want to get my iphone 3gs using ivalue2 12th months contract, i have to pay 200 for deposit, and then pay the rest of 1990 when i collect the phone right? and 155 for each month? quite confuse with "iValue 2 at RM620 for 24 months and RM200 for 12 months" terms that they put in the plan rates, and does maxis opens on merdeka day? or i can get it from MEP outlet such as machines or switch?

anyone?

is idata 1 the cheapest postpaid plan to get iphone 3GS?

the RM620 is prepayment which mean u pay upfront first. So the next 5 mths u dun need to pay. Thats what the salesperson told me.

2nd hand iphone 3g where got so exp.
where u get RM1500 tag

@zeropulse,
By right when ur plan will be activated upon the collection of ur i3GS (or about 2-3 hours thereafter) hence U shouldn't be slapped with a bill for data charges if ur usage is within what's stipulated in ur plan. I suggest U contact Maxis re the discrepancy in ur bill.

@wen9x88,
U ought to weigh the pros and cons on ur own; we can't tell U which is best but if I had to work 1.5k for a phone, it wouldn't be an old phone.

@hellwaker,
Cheapest in what sense?! It's the cheapest because U aren't locked into a contract. But there's no rebate on the i3GS.

@finecut,
Don't post twice next time; just wait it out for someone for to reply U or call up Maxis for the information

- To pre-book the i3GS U will need to put in a RM200 non refundable deposit.
- U can use the RM200 deposit to offset the price of the i3GS upon collection of phone
- No, Maxis is closed on Merdeka Day; MEP outlets at malls MAY be open
- Yes U can get it at APR/MEP/Maxis

@mac.tay,
It may be possible though apparently there's been some handsets going for RM1.2k. I sold my i3G for almost RM2k

I got few qs.

1) Can i port from DIGI prepaid to Maxis Postpaid to buy iphone?
2) Can my unused balance be transfered to Maxis Postpaid account upon activation of my porting? (maxis Iphone promoter say yes?!)
3) My local call usage less than rm30 per month and I call oversea to my friend（Asia) at lease once per week. Last time in road show, the promoter suggest me to get 30plus+50rm data package. But I need to pay rm2k+ for 16GB 3GS. Is it the best package for my scenario?

Thx

@airbag_grado,

1) Yes U can port from DiGi to Maxis to purchase the i3GS
2) Am not sure if ur existing prepaid credit can be brought over but it would be weird if it's possible since those monies weren't paid to Maxis
3) If U don't want to commit urself to a voice plan; RM30 p/month or something I think U can always port in from DiGi to sign up on the Standard Plan & then just link the iData 2 plan on ur iPhone 3GS. The iData 2 plan will give u 500MB of data p/month and that should be more than suffice. It will also cost u RM50 for that.

I also think the promoter is talking something not valid about qs 2 I asked. I paid to DIGI not maxis, sound lot of work for them to transfer and is illogical to a corporate to let go money they have earned. I will ask again when I have decided to port over. But i have just reloaded rm50. Is it advisable to port early before iphone ready to collect?

@hellwaker,
Cheapest in what sense?! It's the cheapest because U aren't locked into a contract. But there's no rebate on the i3GS.

NVM I already figure out maxis plan already.

finally everything is clear now. The rm 800 is not my data usage cos I have disable my edge and 3g. It is actually a penalty that generate automatically during the confusion of switching the plan from ivalue to family plan during the process I got my phone. They thought I terminate my contract, so they charge me for that. Now they help me to clear the charge. Everything is fine now.

@airbag_grado,
I think the entire port-in process takes between 24-72 hrs hence U can do the port in just before U pick up the i3GS? Best to check with the Maxis people I somehow don't think U'll be able to get back those credit; but otherwise if U don't mind changing numbers; then just buy the i3GS via the Maxis Hotlink prepaid method; that way U don't have to spend extra RM50 p/month to buy the 500MB data since it comes free for the first 12 months That's RM50x12 = RM600 savings --> so U can use that to offset the cost of the i3GS.

@edeon1,

how u made it?
i oso wan2 sell i3G (still got 3mths wrty by Singtel)

now waiting my 16G white i3GS from Maxis~

@mac.tay,
I foresaw there'll be a lot of secondhand sets available so I sold mine earlier If you're willing to sell it off at RM1.2k, I haf a buyer - please PM me *smiles*

Alternatively, put up a thread at Garage Sales and see if U can find a buyer I doubt U be able to get it sold for more than RM1.8k today but it's worth a try *shrugs*

guyz guyz FAST question:

-Are the Free call mins and sms in the ivalue plans applicable to another networks ? ? celecom.digi etc..

if not, i guess my bill will be far more than that rm100 per month.. therefor im wont be getting iPhone

considering also no built in SMS/CHARACTER COUNTER. wonder how u guyz cop with that especially we love to msg alot.
