newly revised iValue plans from Maxis has been updated on the first page.

- now with free SMS & MMS to Maxis users
- free calls and SMS is now valid for iValue subscribers with Family Plus supplementary lines.
- 0% interest easy payment plans are now available from Maxis (valid for iValue plans ONLY)

CAQ sections will be updated shortly to reflect the newly available information.

keep this thread clean from any discussions regarding booking and collection. thank you.

the new ivalue plan is out at http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/iphone3gs/rateplan1.asp

but what does this mean?

*** Prepayment of monthly fee is required for iValue 1, 2, 3 & 4 which will be credited equally over your first 5 months.

Prepayment of monthly fee are as follows:

• iValue 1 at RM400 for 24 months and RM200 for 12 months
• iValue 2 at RM620 for 24 months and RM200 for 12 months
• iValue 3 at RM1250 for 24 months and RM500 for 12 months
• iValue 4 at RM1500 for 24 months and RM1000 for 12 months for iPhone 3G
and RM2000 for 24 months and RM1000 for 12 months for iPhone 3GS.

Hi tinkerbel,

Thanks for your advise,and...nope,it is neither a little nor lot off.

Actually you were right to say that I am on iValue 100 for 12 mths contract period And I have just terminated the RM99 as I noted the 500MB is more than sufficient.

Thanks,again there.

@avars:
you're required to pay prepayment fees for your bill according to the iValue plan you're subscribing to.

eg. iValue 1, 12 months contract, prepayment of RM200.
RM200 / 5 months = RM40

RM40 will be credited each month into your bill. thus, you will only need to pay RM60 for the first 5 months, rather than RM100 each month originally. (assuming you stay within the given free calls & SMS)

Hi
i just want to ask... contrary to above ([- now with free SMS & MMS to Maxis users), on-net and off-net means Maxis and non-Maxis call is it?

From Rate Plan Terms & Conditions
2 The minutes of usage included in iValue Plans applies to on-net and off-net domestic voice calls only.

Or Maxis just rushed to change the iValue plan without changing the Terms and Conditions.

thanks teikwing, decent plan but still much room for improvement, hoping it to be more other-telco-friendly

@^prion^:
should be peak and off-peak hours. domestic calls means it cover calls made to any mobile network or landline (yes, Maxis and non-Maxis). the T&C remain unchanged from the previous one.

@avars:
you're welcome.

thanks @teikwing.

Then which of the supplementary line can i add to this?
Value Plus Family or Family Plus 30?

Correct me if i'm wrong, if i get the new iValue plan, plus the supplementary, then my monthly bill will be rm130...n i can get free calls n sms between family. The bundled free 333 min, 100 sms and 10 mms is applicable for all maxis and non-maxis is it?

thanks

@^prion^:
i'm not too sure about that but i guess both? the only difference between both are the call rates as you can see from http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/mobile/pl...icing/index.asp

yes, the bolded statement is correct. but the free SMS/MMS is only applicable for SMS/MMS sent to Maxis users, IINM.

ok. tried to call maxis 123, but it's engaged.
I got another source of info from http://www.lowyat.net/v2/latest/iphone-3gs...launched-2.html

The 4 Maxis iValue plans have been revised and customers can now send free SMS and MMS between Maxis lines while calls between family lines locally are free as well. These new additional offers are already available for existing iValue customers

thanks for trying to give info. I guess maxis ain't so generous in the plans.

i also want know more about installment plan

anyone got info about this ?
Iphone 3gs 16g RM80per month for 2 year?

In conjunction with the official launch of iPhone 3GS from Maxis, there will be an iPhone 3GS roadshow at the concourse area of Mid Valley the Gardens from 30 July to 9 August. Visitors to the roadshow can touch and feel the new phone and ask for a demonstration. There will also be fun activities highlighting iPhone 3GS features including iBand music activities, an MTV Booth showcasing video features of iPhone 3GS and iPhone games. Participants stand to win cash prizes and premiums from Maxis.

@cybpsych,
I just got back from PC Fair - saw the EpiCentre booth and from the brochures, Maxis is now offering instalment plans (only applicable when U sign up for iValue plans) - details been updated on Post #1 here so please check it out; don't need to go all the way to get the information

Also, if U want the i3GS U will haf to wait; stocks are out but there are a couple of demo sets for U to play with if U wish

@onichon, cybpsych:
information in instalment plans is available on the first post. available from Maxis & Machines. please refrain from posting chitty-chatty post. thanks.

@teikwing

im sorry if this question has be risen up but i still dont get the installment plan. care to tell me how it works for the iValue 1? im tying for 24 months.

@doomx:

1. assuming you're getting your phone through Maxis, 16GB iPhone 3GS, RM1990.

you'll be able to pay the RM1990 in monthly instalments with 0% interest. (not too sure regarding the maximum tenure, eg. 6, 12 or 24 months )

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. iValue 1, monthly commitment = RM100

you must pay RM400 in advance for your iValue monthly subscription, when you collect your phone. the amount will be credited back into your account equally in 5 months (or RM80 per month).

for example,

August: iValue subscription RM100 - RM80 (advance payment credited back) = RM20 (what you're be required to pay for the month)
September: iValue subscription RM100 - RM80 (advance payment credited back) = RM20 (what you're be required to pay for the month)
......................and so on.

this RM80 will be credited back to you per month for the next 3 months (Oct, Nov & Dec). only after then, you'll be required to pay RM100 per month for iValue 1.

hope you get what i mean.

@teikwing

ok thanks i think i get what u mean. bout the installment of the phone i dont think i need it since im getting the iphone 3G 8GB only . Not willing to fork out so much. Lol. thanks

@doomx:
then why are u asking about the instalment plan in the first place? or do you mean the prepayment fees? haha.

you're welcome.

EDIT:
agreed with tink. spare 500 bucks for the 3GS. definitely worth the money spent.
