@Sevenfold,
Your only option is to wait for Maxis to open up prepaid / Hotlink purchases then u can buy it without a stipulated contract period and use the iPhone with your DiGi.

@Sevenfold
Or simply scour Garage Sales here and buy from one of the re-sellers with no strings attached. However, my personal advice is buy an officially unlocked unit.

Actually now i oso didnt enjoy my benefit between principal line and supp line, bcos principal actually is my gf bro 1, then he supp to me and my gf, but at the end my gf oready cancel the supp line, so now i oso no enjoy any benefit on supp line. lolz...

so if wan ask her bro help me sign the iPhone like "disturb" him.....bcos he is always busy...


Anyway, any suggestion for me? bcos currently i not in Malaysia, most of the time in Oversea. only back to KL few days every month. so if i take iValue now like i rugi many....hav some Question,
1. If i register the number as iValue for my gf number, when next time i mostly in KL, then i will swap back the iValue to my number, izzit possible??

2. if i sign iValue 1, then i use it in Oversea to call my gf(Maxis number), the 333 mins free call can be use???

I just went to MAXIS CENTER, they request to wait for iPhone 3GS for 40-60 days...
I feel that really long.
After I leaved the MAXIS CENTER, I went nearby Maxis Exclusive Partner(MEP),
they only request to wait for 2 weeks.
will the stock got problem or what??
I wondering how it can be so big diff since they all under MAXIS.

any surcharge for the installment plan??
some said that's 4% charge

@[fr33dom],
If ur g/f is in the country then ask her to sign up for the iPhone under her name and let her use the number. U just use the phone

No the 333 minutes are only applicable for local calls.

@Kenny_Yong_9,
Stock levels are still low. On the average, people are waiting 4-6 weeks for their i3GS. Some lucky ones get it within 2 weeks but that's rare.

hmm, my bro got his iphone 3gs 16gb using ivalue plan 1
immediately on the spot at mep in air itam, penang. No waiting period at all. Probably they had extra stock there.

But i feel the phone is not suitable for him. Anybody is interested to buy the phone together with the plan? coz i just realized i do not want to be tied down by the 2 year contract. Rm100 for 24 months.

previously maxis got 1 offer which is they accpet any iphone to trade in buy maxis iphone.. so nw this offer still available? o nt longer valid d?? thx...

@eyez98,
It's going to be difficult for U to dispose off the phone + the plan together cause the plan is tied to your name and your phone number. You probably can try to dispose off the i3GS though and live with the 24 month contract you signed up with.

@benjm25,
I've not heard of such promotion plan from Maxis before. Don't think it's still valid though.

Just to give an idea to everybody of what the data charges will look like

Bill Snippet

From what I understand how they make it work is the bill will show the usage and ACTUAL cost of the usage to which they will apply deductions .. as you can see I was on the 500mb/month so they minus the cost of 37,402kbs which is 187.24

I guess that is the rate when you overuse, so guys please be careful..

I'm currently using value plan 50 + suppl 30. Call made mainly between main and supp line - voice, video calls & sms. I would like to know whether i can purchase iPhone 3GS with iData plan 50 added on my current plan? Does it mean i can't share the credit (RM80) between main & supp line if i add iData plan? The video call between main & supp will be free or deducted from iData plan?

@muscaa,
The RM80 will still be on shared usage. The RM50 for data will only be applicable to the line you're signing it up with; it's considered an add-on plan. Yes that will also qualify you to purchase an i3GS.

i have a question, when i have a supplementary line on my i-value 1 package. if i call my supplementary line, will it be consider under the 333min of free call?

@InfErnaL~,
If you're oredi on the Family Plus package and are currently enjoying free calls, I believe Maxis has now extended its Family Plus package across the board. I think best to double check with the T&C on Maxis website.

@tinkerbell,

Hmm, guess i have to cross check with the staff in maxis center.

Get a black and white information if applicable as some staff from Maxis Center seems to be as confused as us. Last time I was asking if Value Extra were available for subscription for iValue Plan 1 subscriber and I get a no from 2 maxis staff (From Sunway Pyramid). I was told otherwise by the promoter when they are trying to sell the iPhone to me. Lastly, I resort to calling customer service, record the call so that I can always screw them when things get into the wrong direction.

Yeah they are freaking confused.. I called the hotline to ask if the IValue1 minutes cover any network etc and they told me no(the final answer is YES btw) .. then I talked to the Maxis center because they told me at first that the minutes cover other networks as well.. and I called hotline again.. and they told me "NO, again" .... i hung up.. called the hotline again.. another persson picked up.. asked them again and this time they told me yes.. and to make sure I asked them to double check with the people in-charge etc.. and they finally confirmed with me what the Maxis center said..

So yeah.. the people are pretty confused...

@u.f.o,
There are pros and cons to the iPhone depending on what you seek.

@tnsai,
Yes you're absolutely right - somehow Maxis CS doesn't seem to know what they're doing hence it's important to always double check vital information

@InfErnaL~,
Let us know what the outcome is after u've checked. IIMN a forummer has checked previously and the answer was YES, with this newly introduced iPhone plan. The earlier plans (which was tagged onto the i3G and the i3GS when it was first introduced wouldn't allow U to make free calls cause they were seen as 2 separate call plans).

any1 noe which maxis centre in KL area till can purchase iphone through prepaid plan.coz im using hotlink prepaid now,dun wan to drop it juz to get the iphone

last time i checked cannot..

i've heard a few centres still allow dis,need more feedbacks from those hu got their phone or jz booked.
