I've found some of member did ask for rate plan .
Here is what as i talked to maxis centre ,

Hope this will answer some of the Q .

Currently im using the Family Value Plan Rm50/month .
and i asked them the different about all ivalue package if i use iphone 3gs ,
and all the answers is heart breaking , ( higher monthly payment is one of the reason )
and finally i come out with idea to activate "unlimited data package " at anytime i want ,
and the operator it is much better than the ivalue package IF , u make calls and sms a lot . ( which i do ... )
the reason is the unlimited data package charges is pro-rate basis .

Eg. your billing date is 1st day of the month . and if you activate on 15hb previous month ,
the charge will be ( RM99 / 30 days) x 15 days of usage ,
so they only charge you Rm44++ , and this is what i notice in my previous bill .

im not a phone-net heavy user and im not sure about the limit of data usage ..
but they never overcharge me , but again , i tap my phone to my lappy for surfing ,
so the data should be a LOT isn't it ..?

Just my 2 cents .. Other opinion are welcome . .

May i ask 500mb enough for daily using emailing , A-gpsing and web serving ?cos i plan to get Rm100.. if not enough i hv to consider another plan of i
value

thank you very much bro for the explaination.....

> I've just bought a used Maxis iPhone 3G/3GS. What do I need to do when I wanted to send in my phone to Maxis for warranty?
- To claim warranty you need the person who bought the iPhone which is under his/her name to be present. Requires I/C (of original owner) and warranty card.


izzit MUST /REQUIRED original owner IC ??

tats mean if i buy from other ppl with maxis warranty card oso useless bcos cannot claim cos of i don hav original owner IC ???

izit any problem with the 1st batch of i3GS?
if we want to claim warranty,maxis or machines center should we go to?

@jassergck,
Y are U double posting?! Please refer to http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1071270/+1324

@eekwan7,
I haven't had any problems with my i3GS - what problems are U referring to? Warranty as usual, 1 tahun.

@[fr33dom],
From T&C U will need the original owner to make the warranty claim for u.

Please take sometime to read the first few post on warranty. This has been answered over and over again.

Thank you

Hi guys,

I wanna get a iphone 3gs 32gb. I've been reading all the posts and I'm still unsure what rate plan to choose! I currently have a subline and my bill is around rm50 per month, more if I go overseas. Also my subline is from my excolleague who I haven't seen for about 3 years and I don't know his ic number! To make it more complicate I am a foreigner so will have to a pay much higher deposit! I wanna keep my current number but don't really want to contact my excolleague if I can help it. Any ideas?

Thanks

@tdled,
You're going to need to contact your ex colleague if U want to get a discount off the phone price. Assuming U want everything else to maintain (and not contact your ex colleague), U could perhaps buy the phone outright with the prepaid plan.

Even then, should U decide to subscribe to the data packages offered by Maxis (RM5/8/99) U'll need to get ur ex colleague to open the line for u, right? Or have U oredi been authorised to make amendments or changes to this line?

nope, I've just stayed on the standard package Rm10 a month, I don't make many calls cos using office phone most of the time. I don't think I will use much data cos got wifi in office and home.

@tdled,
In that case, what about signing up for the prepaid plan?!

I thought abt that and I read that a subline can be converted to prepaid also but will I need to get the principals permission?

@tdled,
Yes to make major changes U will need to contact the principle's and get his approval/permission. If it's not too much of a hassle changing phone numbers, Y don't U just get urself a new prepaid line and use that as your main line; if U purchase then i3GS with it, U also get 500MB of FOC data p/month.

PS: The RM10 Standard Plan is v much more expensice than the RM30 ValuePlus plan ya know?!

called Maxis and to change from postpaid to prepaid, there is a fee of rm25 per line. that means rm50 since i got supplementary line as well.

but i have to settle my current postpaid bill first. hmm.. does it mean that they will pro-rate the charge if i change before the billing date?

@azrilyp,
Yes the access fees will be prorated but I don't see a reason for U to have to convert both your supplementary lines to prepaid; can't U just convert the one U want to use to purchase the i3GS with?

suppl. lines belong to wife and she said if i change she also wanna change..

so, not denying her, have to change hers also.

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?

I didn't know that! Yes, I think maybe prepaid is good option and get a new number but I was also considering taking a plan to get the phone cheaper and using the difference to pay the foreigner deposit. I'm a bit "malau" to contact my excolleague after 3 years and ask him for a favour!

errr i think you mean Value Plus 150 + iData 99? (there's no such "iValue Plus" plan)

Value Plus itself is already a postpaid plan. once you're tied VP 150 + iData 99 for 12 months, you can't switch/upgrade/downgrade to any other plan in that 12 months period without paying penalty fees.

do explain yourself better as i don't quite get what you mean.

fyi for those who are looking for easy pay installment for iphone 3GS...

just came from Machines Mid Valley to pay the deposit for iphone 3GS (16GB, without contract)..

i've asked if I can pay the balance thru Maybank easy pay, they said yes but will add 4% for 12mos installment and 2% for 6mos installment..

@tdled,
In that case, Y don't U contact someone else; perhaps a local girlfriend or something? Or get your office to get the line for U?

@dan2020,
I'm unable to comprehend U too well but if you're asking about downgrades and upgrades of plan, please refer to the first few post. I believe teikwing would have updated the information.

@teikwing,
I haven't checked the first few posts but since you're so efficient, I merely assumed the information I passed on to you re upgrades and downgrades of plan been posted up

Also, I've checked with my Maxis Insiders re the 2 questions:-

#1: The i3GS launch will take place 31st Jul as scheduled;
#2: The RM99 Unlimited Plan is indeed capped at 3GB. Anything above 3GB usage, U will be charged.
