guys, is it possible to subscribe to one of the plans without buying the phone ? I already have an iphone singapore set, and im using maxis postpaid standard plan. I just want the iData plan.

Well if you're already a Maxis subscriber you can pick one of its Maxis 3G bolt-on plans. There's a 500MB monthly plan going for RM58. If you're not a subscriber you can pick one of its Value Plus plans at minimum RM30/month. At most you're paying some RM8 or more extra depending how you mix and match.

even i switched off wifi, but once i switch safari on I still can on9. how do I disable that?

Basically you can't. The iPhone is designed to be an internet always connected device. However, if you want to disable this functionality there's a procedure to do this (but I am not sure if it still applies for current models or OS version). Check the stickies in this forum.

@Blast_Cyrus,
To completely disable GPRS/EDGE/3G, you will need to disable APN.

@munky
Cool, may i know which package u subscribe to? and how they notify u when it is activated?

@munky
Good ~ Enjoy your 3G surfing ya~

so we need to have credit about rm 58 or more to activate for the 1st time?

Hi, I'd just like to clarify on this, I just called the hotline and they told me the 333 minutes is only for Maxis numbers? (I'm very confused). So which one is it?

If I call someone who is on Digi, is that covered by the 333 minutes?


Thanks for any info

the 333 minutes is only on maxis...

I asked the maxis salesgirl the other day she said thats to all networks so long as local calls. the only thing to note is that the free sms is only to maxis and NOT to other networks..

Hmm ok bleh that kinda sucks lol, since most of my family is on other networks.. ah well


Edit:
Ok, still confused .... :S

Exactly. It's recommended to get a principal package + iData2 plan instead if you make a lot of calls or sms to other networks.

Heh, so in conclusion, who has it right? Maxis Center or Maxis Hotline person? Ksc or muazzam?? or I guess I'll find out when my bill comes out

Hello All,

I bought an iPhone 3GS at Hongkong and now in Toronto. I signed up for the data plan and all works well. Now when I go back to Malaysia, can I just sign up for the iData for 500MB? Or do i need to sign a contract with Maxis? I dont want any contract so what is my best option? I'm also contemplating getting a BB bold but the data plan for the Bold is quite expensive ($55 for 10MB) compare to iPhone ($30 for 500MB).

So the question is, can i sign up for the iData plan without signing any contract with Maxis? And can i bundle the iData plan with my corpate voice plan?

Thanks,

PS. If you have Ping! you can ping me at jonhong, since I'm not always on this forum.

@jon_jai,
Yes U can sign onto a Monthly Pass plan without any contract and that can be added on to your corporate voice plan.

Also, we have another dedicated thread for Ping! but anyhow I've Ping! you - just don't know if it's too "early" in your part of the world
