Say I receive the phone on the 20th.
The 500MB is valid until 19th of the following month?
Or I need to finish the 500MB before the 1st of the following month?

yes... if you doesn't finish it won't roll forward to next month.

Actually, I am asking for the "deadline" for the 500MB.
For example, I get it on 20/8.
The 500MB will start on that day right?
So I got the 500MB for 20/8 to 19/9?
Or is it 20/8-31/8 and then 1/9-30/9 for the next 500MB?
Sorry if I made you confused.

it mean you get from 20/8 it will expire on 19/9 at 12:00AM.

@NXaqua,
If Ur currently on the RM99 Unlimited plan and intend to continue using it, Y don't U just cancel it and sign up under iData 3? That way everything remains the same for U and U get RM500 off the i3GS for a 12 month contract. If U are oredi on iValue plan and have 500MB with ur existing line, I don't think U need to subscribe to the RM99 Unlimited plan. Sorry I don't quite understand your situation so advise may be a little off

@crazy25kid,
It will be pro-rated and will start when U activate the SIM card with the i3GS. In ur example, it will be until 19th of next month; it follows a bill cycle.

Can I Subscribe Value First (RM30), then subscribe a 24 months Idata with maxis ?

i don't think so. iData is only valid for VP50, 80, 150, 250, 500. and for supplementary lines under VP Family 40, 50 and Family Plus 30, 50.

yes you can

okay. Thanks

let's say I subscribe Ivalue 100 for my 1st iphone. Can I subscirbe a family value 30, Idata 50 under my Ivalue 100 for my 2nd iphone ? (a new number)

Izzit posible to link both of it ?

ahone here
sure you can, but only the subline call to mainline will only get free call and sms.. (1 way)

Thanks to the both of you for the clarification.

interested in iphone 3gs (prepaid) .. but with easy payment ... does Maxis accept easy payment?

I am kinda noob to this mobile phone plan thing so I would definitely need some advice before venture my mobile phone journey into iPhone 3GS.

The thing is I seldom call and SMS (less than 10 times per day for both task). I'm currently using Maxis plan (not quite sure what it is but I don't have to top up my point for 1 year) for my Motorola model. It's a very old model and SMS on it really took time.

Any idea on which plan might suit me most? Also, I might use GPS depending on the situation. Does GPS usage counted towards data usage?

Can't I just my existing SIM card?

@cybpsych,
Pls refer to Post #1 for information on instalment plans but chances are Maxis won't do instalment plans for prepaid/outright purchases; no harm checking though.

@D.Sync,
If you're a student, sign up for Hotlink Youth. Use that prepaid SIM to get the i3GS (U won't be able to get a discount off the i3GS phone price) but U will be entitled FOC 500MB data each month for 12 months.

IMO that's the best plan for U.

@D.Sync:
you can choose to if you want. i assume it's a prepaid? what tinkerbel is saying is you can use your current prepaid sim and sign up for Hotlink Youth Club (if you're under 25). details below (more in the first page):

please explain what u ean by exceed few min call? u get 333 mins free that;'s all right and u will get charged for exceeding it isnt it?
and the sms is only free between maxis to maxis ah?

i think regarding tat issue u better call them confirm again, i give them make blur blur d.. lolz..

I just managed to read through half of the posts above this and I found a very interesting 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!
---
I think many of the forumers reading this thread may have missed out the following point. For the sake of saving RM137/year or RM11.42/month, you have to carry two phones, not going to use your new iPhone for call, sms, and mms for the next 12 months. You new iPhone is only as good as an iPod Touch.
