Sorry bro, I can't remember his name. I actually called up Maxis many times.

changed my mind as I analyzed acid's statement of account.

it seems that for usage below your monthly commitment, there won't be any rebates as any remaining airtime can't be carried forward.

but for usage exceeding monthly commitment such as acid's, I noticed he was given a rebate for UNUSED free SMS? assuming he's on the newer iValue 1 package (which gives 100 free SMS), he only sent 21 SMS that month and got rebated for 79 SMS which amounts to rm7.90.

this means that we can disregard the equations given by both operators, and figure out the actual question instead.

are unused amounts only rebated to usage above the commitment fee?

Added on January 13, 2010, 8:18 amtoytoy, if you analyze the plans closely you'd realize that the iValue plans are more or less modified Value plans just for iPhones.

in this case, iValue 1 is similar to Value 50, except you are paying rm50 more for these...

1. 500mb data plan.
2. 100 free SMS to on-net.
3. rebate for iPhone purchase, depending on your tenure of contract.

for airtime, iValue 1 is charged at a flat rate of 15c whereas Value 50 charges 12c for on-net and 18c for off-net. you get more value for off-net calls if you're using iValue 1. if you make more calls to other Maxis lines, then value 50 might be more economical.

the iData plan just isn't worth it, as you only get to retain your Value plan and slightly cheaper (thus more minutes) on-net airtime at the cost of 100 SMS.

you decide.

hello..can i buy iphone 3g 8 or 16g from maxis without any contract?

and how much will it be...

Hello, i3G, only 8gb is still available in the market. 16gb is no more. You can, provided there is stock available. Please check with Maxis about the price.

ok2...i will go to maxis centre la like dat...tq2

Hi guys, is the 16GB 3GS easily available? Or is there a long waiting list? Feel like picking one up but don't want to wait for a long time.

im foreigner but im working in Malaysia....what do i need to bring when i register for iphone? ( i mean iphone with maxis contract) and where can i easily pick the iphone 16gb cos i will be back to malaysia next friday but i will have to go to Perak (im working there) the day after ...plz help me

If you care to read the threads, you will know that there is a long waiting list for the 3GS 16gb. However, you can grab a 32gb on the run at most of the Maxis centres and without contract too.

So,ivalue100 contract muz pay rm100 or more monthly right?

yup bro, ivalue 100, even if you use less than RM100, you will need to pay 100, cause that's the min charged fees... however, if you exceed RM100, you will have to pay the remaining others as well

Can i ask the 16gb iphone from maxis got white colour?

i must admit that, i'm beginning to like how hotlink is running their mobile internet these days (what a great and steep improvement from last time). not to mention, satisfactory coverage and speed as well (at least for the places, that i typically patronise)

just look at how attentive, hotlink is, with regard to my data consumption.

two thumbs up!

Yes, the 16gb variant comes in white. But whether Maxis has stock, you have to check. Anyway, for 16gb, you have to pre-book.

hi.. currently i have value plus 80.. if i include idata plan with my value plus plan.. will i need to sign contract for a certain tenure??
or i can terminate it or MNP it anytime in the future?

Will maxis notify ur data limit once u have exceeded the limit?

From the screenshot, you can see that Maxis won't allow you to exceed the limit. They will 'renew the pass' and if you do not want 'extension', you have to deactivate. That is the pure business way.

how to book? can teach me?

Hi, I wish to get another iPhone using installment. Can i get the iphone on the spot or must i wait my bank to approve the installment(Maybe a few days)?

I believe you can do it online at the Maxis Website or you can walk in to any Maxis centre.

Need help. Maxis does not sell iphone only? 16gb? i am underage to sign contract and my mom will not allows. anyone can help?
