this i not sure lol.bcoz im on prepaid currently and i prefer to convert straight to ivalue 1,less hassles and straight forward

i only noe if u wan idata plan,u need to have a postpaid plan with u

hmm.. so if i have a prepaid currently can i just add the idata 1 or 2 to buy a iphone without sign up the ivalue1??

no.as i said,idata can only be tied to a postpaid

oh. so must buy the phone 1st. too ex

the maxis prepaid for iphone "outright prepaid purchase of the 3GS" is not available yet? meaning new subscriber is not eligible to purchase it? or existing also can't?

That statement refers to the plan regardless you're new or existing subscriber.
So you cant outright purchase atm..

thanks for the info

I hope I am not asking too obvious a question.
With all the bills and phone - how much would I be paying for ivalue 1 ?

167 RM every month?

And for the phone, do I have to deposit 200 on top of the 400 RM?

how much per month i not sure (depends on ur credit card as well,some bank offers 0% installment).but i noe the 1st 5 months will be less burden bcoz of the rm80 rebate (depends on ur plan and prepayment)

RM400 = RM200 (phone deposit) + RM200 (ivalue 1 12 months contract prepayment)

does that mean I need to pay RM 1,590.00 for the iphone 3gs 16GB,

and every month I would need to pay RM 100.00 for iValue.

and the pre-payment RM 400.00.

Add it all up, my first month I would need to pay RM 2,090.00??

My humble advice....keep whatever package u r (assuming u r with maxis) and add the idata value 3. With this, u will get almost unlimited access to data use. Pay RM100 and dont have to worry about excessive maxis data charges like some of us here....only RM100 more per month

but keep in mind idata can only be tied to postpaid

@NewMan123a,
Honestly, even 500MB is sufficient.

serious???

cuz i'm still thinking which idata package to take.
actually not me using la. i'm gonna subscribe the idata plan for my supp line.

then the maxis girl keep ask me subscribe the rm99 package. = ="
i was wondering rm50 - 500mb package enuf or not??

if jus use for random surfing & GPS + googlemaps

@ahnien,
I was initially pretty skeptical too but after having tested it for about a month, I swapped over from the RM99 plan to the 500MB @ RM50 plan. Thus far, my usage p/month has not even surpassed the 200MB mark; just don't use the phone to start downloading stuff otherwise how much also sure not enough lah

Yes, U will still need to tie your line to an existing call plan be it Value First (RM30 commitment) or the Value Plus plans, or the RM10 Standard Plan.

The RM50 iData plan is merely for data usage, and not for calls.

Hey guys i wanna ask ah, once i sign for the ivalue 100 plan, it directly convert my existing plan to ivalue 100 ? or start from next month bill??

@k3v1n,
It should take about 2hrs to activate the plan; your calls + data service will be pro-rated for the month.

is there anyway to pay the phone by installments either from maxis or mac if i dont have credit card from stated banks? i have a standard chartered bank credit card. thanks, appreciate your help

If your bank does provide 0% installment plan, u can get it from machines for sure, I am using CIMB credit card and I get my 3GS from machines

Check with StandChart and if they have an easy payment scheme on, you can sign for your iPhone either from Maxis, Machines or Switch and pay by installments per the bank's prescribed payment mode.
