what if i use the sim card on 2 phone, example now using on iPhone later i change the sim to another phone to use it, and some moments later switch back to iphone, will the free data be void?

what i mean is about the 500mb data.. when i collect the iphone can i change the number that i already book with my current one.. my current number will get the 500mb data bundle..

I probably will get the iData 50, and that have to register under primary account.
My supplementary line will be using the iphone... so will the free 500 MB be applicable for supplementary line as well?
Can i exchanged my primary and supplementary simm card into the iphone and still enjoy the 500 MB under iData 50, since both lines are under the same account?

thanks

I ask my friend who work with Maxis this morning and she confirmed to me that the package I choose shall be finalized upon 3G S pick-up on 31 July 2009. Plan can be changed but the size and colour of the 3G S is finalized during the online booking.

NOTE: teikwing ask me to confirm this point

Have anyone heard of this? I call up maxis centre they say that if I will to get the prepaid plan for the 3Gs phone and at the same time keep my postpaid number, I have to change the postpaid number back to prepaid number first. Only than I can book it on line.One more thing is that the girl on the phone at maxis centre told me that we can't do any booking at any maxis centre. We only can do booking online. Is it true? Anyone has done his booking at maxis centre around KL area?

Teikwing,

It's 2 good 2 be true.... hopefully they don't come tell us it was a typo error at the end of the day!!! 

Anyway a direct comparison:-
16GB + iData 50 (12 mths contract)
Phone = RM2090
iData 50x12= RM600
Total = RM2,690

16GB + Prepaid
Phone = RM2490
Prepaid=RM63
Total = RM2,553

Savings = RM137 = 5% of RM2690!

But what's the rate for over data usage for iData plans? Prepaid is charged at 0.5sen/kb.

well u dun need Hotlink 365 to maintain a year validity if u are under 25 years old... just purchase the Hotlink Youth Club pack and u can have 4 year validity (with the condition of RM10 top up per year)...

pay my deposit... purchased my Best Skin Ever from their website... all now have to do is wait BSE and iPhone to arrive...

Hi guys, i have analysed the rates quite thoroughly and i have concluded that the prepaid plan may not be as attractive as it may seem.

First, i am a light phone users who makes very few voice calls. Although i am currently a non maxis user, i have calculated that my monthly call charges under the hotlink prepaid fee structure is around the region of RM 30 per month.

Thus,
iphone 32G (prepaid) + (RM30x12)= RM2990 + RM360 = RM 3350
iphone 32G (ivalue 1) + (RM100 x12) = RM2290 + RM1200= RM RM3490

So, the difference as u can see is RM 3490 - RM 3350 = RM 140= only 4%!!, which isn't particularly attractive when you consider the massive 333 minutes of call minutes that comes with ivalue 1.

What do you think?

> Get the Hotlink Youth Club simpack at RM8.80 if you're under 25 and you'll get 4 years validity (with minimum top up of RM10 per year) or
> Get a normal Hotlink simpack, subscribe to Hotlink 365 (maintain prepaid line validity for a year) for:
Subscription is RM33 (one time) + RM30 (min top-up within 1st 6 months) = RM63
**Both will ensure your prepaid line will be valid 24/7 to receive the 500mb data bundle!

> Is iData/iValue's 500MB data bundle sufficient for casual surfing?
- Yes. Based on feedback from few forummers, Facebook, YouYube, IM, Surfing, Apps download and updates take up roughly 500MB per month. Just an estimation though. If you're an heavy user on downloads and YouTube, do take up higher capacity data bundle.
(Note that the allocated data per month is fixed for every month and cannot be carried forward)

I saw from here that the launching date is 28/7. But went to Maxis Center in Miri, they say is not true and will stick at 31/7. How come like that?

For all your information, 28th is the launching date for i3gs, and 31st is the collection date...launching and collection is both diff thing...

I never read that, it's the maxis centre rep that told me so, cause she is involved in the road show for the launching, but god knows where is the launching, cos i nv bother asking =)

@Ms. tinkerbel
So it will just show total amount only?. but not show date time and location for how many data usage in the bill?. I was looking forward similar features just like phone call keep track

@teikwing,
You have that information in your bill because those are over and above what you subscribed too.  For those who subscribe the RM99 package, U won't know how much you've used because there won't be indication on the bill.  If U have indication like what teikwing's bill is therefore it only means U've exceeded your 3GB usage.

@LaiN87,
Yes apparently 500MB is helluva lot.

@victorchew,
If U don't intend to use your i3GS for Internet Tethering purposes, perhaps U could even consider the iData 2 plan.

Btw does anyone know, assuming I signed up with iData 2, can I upgrade to iData 3 later on?  Is that allowed?

@teikwing,
hMm.. perhaps the information is given for those who purchased the smaller bundles.  I'm on the RM99 plan and they don't give me the usage.  All I see is GPRS Services under Value Added Service.  Hmm.. maybe it's because our usage are like v super low so they rather not tell us cause they afraid we will downgrade plans?! Anyhow I've put in a request for my data usage - let's just see how long it'll take Maxis to give me that information.

@jqss29,
It's expected - to finance the i3GS.  I sold mine off aeons ago.

@soonwai,
Am sorry U got the wrong information but I sure hope this thread did help put things in the right perspective.  I don't think Maxis will allow a downgrade because it's never been in their policy to offer downgrades but upgrades are usually permittable. 

I will check and get back to U.  Act, I sent an email to my Insider so let's just wait for his reply

Eh... Ur not suppose to give things that U don't want to ur wife! *hmph*

Are you sure 28th?

I went to the Maxis Store in Jusco Sri Kembangan, they said "EARLIEST" 31st July, but maybe later in August.....

I just paid the deposit for iData 3 for 32gb iPhone

teikwing sorry bout that....
i just came back from paying the deposit and was worried thats all

sorry again

Let's say for the iValue 1 which is at RM100 monthly and comes with free 333 minutes of local calls, I will be charged for my calls after I used up 333 minutes right? So this isn't like those commitment plans?

If I were to have a supplementary line under the iValue 1, what plan would the supplementary line be on?

i know the rates will be diff from current existing, but now i m a subline....so how if i wan change and get the iValue plan??

izzit i need cancel the subline?? then take again the iValue plan???

Question:

If i am using iValue Plus 150,
and i contract to iData 99 for 12 months,

is i wanted to change to Postpaid or another iValue Plan (mind you, not disturbing the iData contract), is that valid?

logically speaking there doesnt seem to be a problem. Or is there?
