mind elaborating more? i have maybank cc, but i tot the rates are 6% for 12months, 4% for 6months

@tink:
yeah the info has been posted up.

@avars:
i think the interest might be bank-dependant. or there might be due to inaccurate info. do confirm and post an update here. will update the first post.

@teikwing,
As to instalments, Amex Gold Credit Card is having a promotion at the moment. They're offering 0% interest rates for purchases made through that credit card up to December 2009. If U think that information is of use U can put it up lah.

Those who want more information about the 0% interest instalment plan, get them to contact Amex.

Why don't you just do the port to digi method and port back to maxis hotlink. It's free! As long as you have no contract obligations and no outstanding balance I guess.

Better ask if Machines or Maxis accepts Amex or not. Usually only accepts MCard and Visa in Msia =/

@LaiN87,
Machines accepts Amex. As to Maxis; their Maxis Centres do accept it too

hey, you can also add Direct Access MasterCard to the list. They're also offering 0% interest rate for ANY purchases made to the card. Also up to December 2009.

comes in 2 flavours:
10 months instalment = minimum RM1000
20 months instalment = minimum RM3000

also, more information, contact CIMB.

@tink, jackhamner84:
thanks for the info! first page updated with info on installment plans.

If there anyway that I can sign a 24 months contract if I port-in from Celcom?

I have got an idea, I port in to Maxis postpaid first, then only sign up for Iphone IValue, so I ordering the iphone as a Maxis postpaid user, like this, can get 24 months?

well, this info came from the staff of machines mid valley.. the thing is, they accept easy pay installment for purchase of iphone 3GS..

@DaViDcHiN,
Port in customers are only allowed to sign on for a maximum of 12 months; this is regulated by law hence U won't be able to sign on for 24 months.

nice, bcoz different shop gives different rate i guess, so confirm ya machines mid valley? (not garden?) if so, ill place booking there

Added on July 24, 2009, 10:52 amToday im feeling good n called Machines at different outlets to get the monthly instalment rates

Mid Valley
2% for 6months, 4% 12 for months

Gardens
4% for 6months, 6% for 12 months

Suria KLCC
No monthly instalment

Sunway Pyramid
No monthly instalment

Lot 10
No monthly instalment

1 Utama(Old Wing)
Havent decided yet, waiting for HQ memo? >.<
after all too far away from my place so i just let them be

IMPORTANT Lastly, ive called the machines at the Gardens and the guy said the rates offered at his shop should be the same to all other machines shops (coz the order came from their HQ) while the rates given by mid valley shop are actually for everything else in the shop except for the iphone.

I am in the same boat as you. Thought about porting-in to hotlink then sign up ivalue as a maxis user. Checked with maxis but they say they will still consider you as a celcom number thus you will only be allowed to sign up for 12 month contract-government regulation they claimed.

@avars:
does does rates given is apply to all banks' cc or just selected few?

Can someone verify if the 500MB of data includes both downloading and uploading? or strictly downloading only?

i think all of them, but the 1 dat some forummer mentioned earlier thats depending on banks, u made the transaction 1st then u will call ur bank to make it as instalments, i can confirm that cimb does offer dat, do payment 1st, call them up to make it as instalments but still subject to approvals, Maybank doesn't do anything like dat

up and down both. Please refer to previous post

btw teikwing, above statement might cause some confusion, coz it was said by the Gardens machines apple guy, not personnel from mid valley's. so take it as 50/50 as im no longer in mood to make any calls for now >.< the Garden's guy also said the rates offered by them are from the HQ so it should applied to all other Machines shop.

so to sums up what the garden's guy said:-
-All the rates offered by them are from their HQ and shud be applied to all machines
-2% for 6months, 4% for 12months (all stuff but iphones)
-4% for 6months, 6% for 12months (iphones)

but still, im taking my chances to get lower rates by buying from machines mid valley

hey guys, avars may be right about the instalment only given for everything else in the shop except the iphone. and i think it's applicable for ALL Machines outlets.

coz the last time i went there to enquire at Machines KLCC if purchasing an iphone there can still help me get rebate points (Machines membership program), and they say only iPhone cannot. coz it's handled by Maxis. they're merely sort of hosting Maxis to sell the iPhone in their respective shops, and it's not considered one of their products. so since it's not considered one of "their products", i have a feeling the instalment plan won't cover the iphone.

so better double-check with your respective Machines branches before you plan on doing the instalment.
