A penalty of rm100 if u terminate ur current iphone plan.. No charge on the remaining months if im not mistaken.. I already ask 2 maxis center about this..in wangsa maju n alamanda..

@jfoong:
your current plan is VP80 and usage will cost up to RM100+, if you were to opt for iValue 155, do u utilize that much of free calls? and SMS charges will cost extra. you might save more on the phone but in the long run, you might be paying extra on your bills which does not justify your usage.

i think VP80 + iData 50 is a better option. or even VP50 + iData 50. you get to enjoy same calls rates, SMS usage included and most of all, cheaper monthly bills. and you get to save on the iPhone 3GS as well.

@kaizen57:
does that RM100 penalty to current new subscribers (3G/3GS) or just the ol' 3G ones?

@RevoWithin,
You will keep to the same plan unless U make a request to Maxis to change it. Please refer to Page 1 of this thread to see if U think 500MB is sufficient for you.

1. read the first page prior to posting your enquiries. all the available information are available there.
2. after the 1 year contract, you're free to subscribe to any plans or keep your current one.

Just 4 more days til we get our brand spanking new iPhone 3G S guys! Wooo!

But I think I'm going t regret booking the 16GB one la. Should have booked the 32GB. Also I wanted to ask, is 3GB of data a lot for a mobile device? I'm quite a power 3G user. Use everyday. So 3GB would be enough or not?

@doctorpopcorn,
I heard several forummers saying U can still change ur 'booking' at point of collection; then again some said cannot - best is to check with Maxis as they're the official source of information.

As to whether 3GB of data usage is sufficient, please refer to Page 1 of this thread.

@tinkerbel
Thanks for the feedback. As for being able to change the booking at the point of pickup, it only apples for the iValue/iData/Hotlink Plans but not for the hardware. Which means if you chose 16GB White, you have to stick with that but you can change the plans that you chose. I asked about this at Maxis Center edy.

Also, on the data usage, will Maxis show how much data I have used in one month on the invoice? If not, how can I measure/estimate how much I'm using per month?

@doctorpopcorn,
I'm on the RM99 Unlimited data plan and they don't give U the breakdown. teikwing is on the 5MB @ RM8 plan and he does get a breakdown.

U can alwiz get an indication from Settings of ur iPhone 3GS.

teikwing, thanks for that.

Yeah, I'm not feeling too comfortable with the iValue 155 compared with the latter option...

By the way, I'm planning to book it today and possibly make the deposit payment RM200 in the service centre. Since I'm currently at the Value 80 plan, I should downgrade it to Value 50 first before making the booking. Will that be right? Gosh, I wonder how long the process will be and if it works that way...

Anyone who knows, please let me know while I call up 123 again (sometimes their info can be inaccurate...)

@jfoong,
I don't think U need to change ur plan from VP80 to VP50 before placing your booking because whichever plan Ur on U be able to qualify to purchase the i3GS. It will also take about 24hrs before the plan can be shifted from VP80 to VP50.

IMHO it shouldn't make a difference to ur i3GS booking/purchase if U shift from VP80 to VP50 - in fact, U can keep with ur VP80 plan and should U decide to want to shift to VP50 U can just contact Maxis and ask them to downgrade your plan. The contact in which U will be signing is really the iData plan hence the ValuePlus plans shouldn't be affected.

Ohhhh yeahhhh..............it is the iData plan that I'm tying myself to, not the Value50/80. Mmm, my bad.
All these iPhone analysis is making my head crack over the past week, I'm telling you. Not fun =[

@jfoong,
What I like to know is this:-

Situation
- I'm on the VP80 + RM99 Unlimited plan
- I now sign up to purchase an i3GS under iData 3
- When should I deactivate the existing RM99 Unlimited plan?

If Ur calling 123, it'll be great if U could check the above information for me but otherwise nm, I'll get it figured out somehow

Hmm.. really contemplating whether should i go for 24 or 12 months contract.
Not sure whether the RM300 is worth saving or otherwise since I expect call rates to drop in the future *ponders*

Go for 12 months then next year you can sell off the 3GS and get the new iPhone. 24 months is too long to be tied to a telco. Some people don't even stay married for that long. :-)

yah..i agree..i mean the phone contract and not the marriage contract...24 months is too long. Anything can happen after 1 year. Maybe by that time, you can switch to other more saving plans. Me going to 12 months only.

I also called up call center and asked whether I can change my plan. The operator said can but not in a very convincing manner. But I don't see why not. Only phone cannot change. I booked black 16gb...

Oh no! Sorry, tinkerbel....just saw your post after I finished the call with 123.

I had a long call with them and guess what...



The above can't be done. Apparently, as what the CS guy said, if I were to subcribe to iData 50 now with my current Value 80, then I can't downgrade my Value 80 as it's tied to I think it's quite dum dum.

So, what I did was, I downgraded to Value 50 just now and in case I need to upgrade it anytime, then it's okay to do so. No logic, huh?

@jfoong,
U mean by signing on the iData plan, ur also locking the VP plan?! Now that is a little stewpid. In that case, I want to revert my VP80 to VP30 and change my dad's one from VP30 to VP80 - our call rate remains the same plus monthly commitment also the same except I'm on a lower plan now !

Thanks for the information though and I'll check again when I call 123 to make sure our information is the same - as U know, the information we get always not standard one
