QUOTE(Pennywise @ Oct 13 2009, 01:50 AM) 1. I am on a Value Plan 80 but my bill is about RM150 - RM200 every month. I want a 16gb iPhone 3G[S], what is a good plan for me? 1. the same question has raised over and over again in this thread. and again, it all boils down to your usage. if your spend mostly on calls, opt for iValue then. iData is for those who would like keep their current plan (VP50, 80 etc.), subscribe to data usage and obtain the iPhone at a subsidized price.2. For a 12 month interest free installment, the phone goes for RM1990. Does that mean I take RM1990 / 12 mths = RM165.84 on a monthly basis on top of the iValue 100 commitment? 3. Additionally I would like to ask about the free benefit data, SMS, MMS - will they be available on the 2nd month if unfinished on the first month or is it free monthly? E.g. When I only used 200MB on the first month, will the balance 300MB be forwarded to the next month? Do I get 500MB data free every month? 4. Lastly, I saw at the disclaimer "Value 1 at RM400 for 24 months and RM200 for 12 months" What does it mean? 2. yes. installment plans are only available for credit card holders for selected banks. do check out the first page. 3. no. it will not be brought forward. 4. read the fine prints. it's the prepayment fees aka advance payment. |

QUOTE(groggysquirrel @ Oct 14 2009, 02:45 PM) there's no thread about using maxis iphone plan at overseas so i guess i will just post my question here. yes, you can if you opt for roaming. however, call/sms rates are based on roaming rates which can be quite expensive.i've just informed that my iphone 3gs has arrived and now i need to make decision which plan to choose. at first i wanted to choose ivalue 2 24 months contract, but i just informed that i will be working at singapore and uk for 6 months(going to sg in november). so i need to know can i still use maxis plan at these two countries? (i dont feel like going for 12 months contract coz i will come back malaysia in 1 yr) |

QUOTE(kob3bryant @ Oct 25 2009, 10:12 AM) no you dun bro no. that's almost impossible as our our local gov implements the telecommunications act which prevents any telco locking the phone to a particular carrier, unless at some point of time in the future this ruling is abolished then it's possible.i am merely asking to re-confirm on this issue but will they change their policy from free to locked iphone? |

QUOTE(feihonglee @ Nov 10 2009, 04:32 PM) it's possible, although i'm not entirely sure about that. since once the contract period has ended, there's no binding contract on the plan anymore. hence, you're considered as a normal postpaid user which under normal circumstances, is allowed to switch to prepaid. |

QUOTE(djkeoni @ Nov 11 2009, 11:02 AM) @ tinkerbell well, even if there's a higher rebate, the rebate will actually be 'redeemed' by back Maxis in case you did not fully utilize the iValue plan.Hi, I know you have always thought that the iValue plans are not a good deal and you think its better to just stick with a current plan and just add on iData right? Well the last I kept track of your stand was prior to the revised iValue plans which bundled this and that. I'm finally getting my iPhone now and have asked for iData 2 at time of booking (which suits my needs i think). However wanna ask whether your opinion has changed with regards to the iValue now? Anyone else got input? I think other than the higher rebate obtained for purchasing the phone, the iValue isnt really value for money is it? |

QUOTE(djkeoni @ Nov 11 2009, 12:13 PM) Marketing tactic ey yes. again, it boils down to your usage. if you are person which usage patterns suit that of iValue and fully utilize of what the plan offered, then by all means go ahead with it.but since you mentioned that iData suits your needs better, why opt for iValue just for that higher rebate which isn't worth it in the long run? |

I suspect my phone has some hardware issues with the home button. the waiting period varies. some cases only took 2 weeks while some took up to 1 month or so. some centres might have refurbished replacement units in stock. Any idea how long will it take to get a replacement/fix?

QUOTE(MrSars @ Apr 4 2010, 08:38 PM) these 3 places should have plenty of stocks compared to others.QUOTE(Shoki @ Apr 4 2010, 08:58 PM) I spoke to Maxis ppl. They said they will send to SG to confirm that it's a hardware defect before they will replace your unit. So I'm assuming that I will be iPhone-less for at least a few weeks. i have not came across any case where one do get immediate replacement. however, there might be exceptional cases. anyway, how serious is the defect? have not experienced a single issue with my UK O2 set after 1 year and a half of usage. Are there any cases which users get an immediate replacement set? |

QUOTE(Winning11 @ Apr 11 2010, 10:36 PM) question: yes, you're right. i'm currently using familiy plus RM30 supp. line. from the charts, i should be looking at idata plans for RM30, right? and from the colour scheme of the chart, does that mean i'm only eligible for 'no contract' pricing of the phone (ie. RM2990 for 32gb)? sorry for the noob question. it's been 3 years since i changed my phone or telco. haha! |

QUOTE(cloudstrife07 @ May 29 2010, 02:15 AM) RM590 to be exact. confirmed. i went to Maxis KLCC just now because my gf wants to pay her bills and then suddenly the promoter gave us the paper regarding the promotion. all supplementary lines are only entitled to iData plans. for iValue, one line must be the main line instead of supplementary. which in short meant that if a supplementary line chose to got for iValue, it must be converted to main.btw my gf's line is a supplementary line, which is under me. how can i get her the iphone 3G on that price (RM590) while still maintaining her supplementary line status? anyway, got 2 units of 3GS for my family today and wasn't informed of the RM590 3G. |
