@Kelly_Gabui,
I think there's been a misunderstand.  Perhaps the CS thought U be using the prepaid number as ur principal line.  If that is the case, Maxis does not offer the RM99 Unlimited Plan to Prepaid Users, only Postpaid.

Assuming after U get the iPhone, U can still use ur current Maxis SIM (postpaid with unlimited plan) on ur phone.  U just waste the 500MB free data offered by Maxis on your prepaid plan.

Btw if ur intending to do that, perhaps U can help a friend out - he's got a prepaid SIM and wouldn't mind the 500MB data usage when he's back from AU during the Summer holidays biggrin.gif

Ah, that makes so much more sense now smile.gif I now know exactly what I need to do, thank you! And yeah, I would have 500MB of free data to play with. Who wants it? Will trade it for something of significantly less value smile.gif

@Mr Kong,
It is not possible for us to tell U how much bandwidth LYN takes up! tongue.gif

@gogo2,
In that case, my suggestion is for U to buy a prepaid @ RM8.80 which will enable you to purchase the iPhone.  When U get it, just use ur existing postpaid SIM with the iPhone and open the RM99 unlimited plan biggrin.gif

sigh, I actually don't want to stay with value 50 because i seldom call... just want the data plan unlimited only....

guess I need to go for Value Plan....

Do you know about SME plan? Last time SME plan is Value 50 for 2 years and Iphone is RM1600 only...u know about current SME plan/

Can someone clarify with me?

My plan now is to subscribe to Hotlink Youth Club. Then get the phone outright. And it says 500MB free to Hotlink users.

Am I right?

@KENTK3,
If U can afford it go for the 3GS - U will not regret it; it's v much faster... and i mean REALLLLLY V much faster [take my word for it as I've personally compared the 3G with the 3GS]

@dan2020,
Er.. what'd U mean ur account bolted with USB modem plan? The USB modem option is a data option, not applicable for voice. U will need an existing account that's voice option enabled.

@Kelly_Gabui,
You're welcome biggrin.gif Enjoy ur new toy

@Mr Kong,
U can alwiz track ur own usage. Once U have used up the 500MB just disable APN so no data comes in .. the only thing then is that U just use the iPhone as an iPhone lah biggrin.gif

@gogo2,
Sorry I'm not familiar with SME plans but if your voice calls are v limited, U can have the option of:-

1) ValuePlus30 plan + RM99 Unlimited Data Plan = RM129.

The RM30 will be used for your calls + SMS biggrin.gif

@cheaterbug,
Yes that is right - as long as you're a Hotlink user U can get the iPhone outright without any contracts and U will get 500MB FOC data package for the next 12 months.

@Mr Kong,
If U want to use the phone purely on Internet Tethering, the 500MB probably will not be enough. To be on the safe side, U should open an Unlimited Plan. It's hard to gauge because usage is v personal. I didn't dare take the risk so I opened my Unlimited Data Plan. My first bill hasn't come so I haven't been able to check actual usage but i don't think it's too high for this month. Will be tracking it for the next 3 months - if U can wait then I'll update U then biggrin.gif

Thanks hi54ever and tinkerbel.

Tinkerbel your post really helped me clear my doubts.

Anyway, I am currently a Maxis postpaid user, Family Plus Plan. Do you think I should transfer over to Hotlink Youth Club for the 500mb for 1 year?

@DikkieD,
If ur in the NL, Y are U putting in a booking reservation? *confused*

@deitylord,
AFAIK Maxis doesn't give out 'charity' and they're not v good at the CRM - they're good at getting new subscribers but they just don't value their LOYAL customers tongue.gif

And YES I'm v sure about the 3GB cap for the RM99 Unlimited Data Plan. Yes I'm aware there's anothe thread about usage and as I've said and explained previously (I've also explained it several times tonight!) that's the information I got from a very reliable source so if U want to question it and not believe me... by all means, go ahead biggrin.gif Just don't be surprise when ur hit with the bill. Read the T&C and U will find it there biggrin.gif

@Mr Kong,
I am using Maxis - DiGi is NOT available on 3G at the moment though I hear there's a roll out that's being planned or being done. U wanna know if DiGi i stable, please check with neekun. Also, DiGi is on EDGE and not 3G. It's RM68 Unlimited p/month.

Also, I please stop with the one-liners... don't use this forum as a chit-chat conversation but as a place to share and provide information. If U have nothing to share or contribute you'll be seen as spamming and our Mods will have hard time clearing the place..

@cheaterbug,
U could transfer over but U'll lose all the other benefits from your ValuePlus / Family plan. Also, it's not going to be convenient to keep changing SIMS but that is an option for when U wanna do heavy surfing biggrin.gif
