I am taking the hotlink plan, so no 123 for me as that one is only for postpaid. I have to call the 1300820120 which I didn't know they charge it for their customer service. Anyway I think my case is almost the same as pjastro,

Went to Machine Gardens to get my iPhone 3G S. They let me choose the hotlink number, but I wanted those with 012. So they told me to get it from Maxis Garden which I did. Came back process went smoothly and phone activated etc. Happy ending right?

So then I waited for the free 500MB SMS to come... which didn't so I make a call to their CS. They told me my number was not registered for the 500MB free data, system is down etc. so need to call them back after 24 hours. They hold me up for like 5~7 min while they check their system...

All the more reason not to cancel my DiGi + Unlimited Data Plan now. Although I kinda hate it when no one can call me when I am using EDGE.

Can anyone share with me the latest update from Maxis, the installment plan and the free call + sms to family plan.

what is the condition of those?

installment how many month? and how many free call and sms to family plan? any additional charges for 0% installment (processing fee)?

Same to me, got mine at Swich, Mines Resort City yesterday till now still no SMS from maxis about
the free 500MB data.


One more thing is that I have 2 sim card with me just for this phone. Firstly before went online booking
I change my postpaid no. to hotlink no. just for the hotlink plan for 3Gs phone. So yesterday went and
pick up the phone the sales girl told me to buy a new sim pack card to register my phone. So I ask her
why can't I use the old prepaid card, she say cannot. Went and bought one.


By the way with 2 prepaid, don't know which one to use. Old one all my clients and friends knows my phone
no. with the new one is the 500MB of data. Tell you guy, when you use prepaid for calls it like sucking
blood out of your veins. What can I do now?

i got my 3gs on friday and the sms notifcation about free 500mb only come next morning(saturday)..so u can wait for 24hour..if still not get it..u can call Maxis..

still no sms regarding the free 500MB thingy. and this iphone if no wifi will keep connecting to maxis network. I already checked my hotlink statement - used up almost rm10 just today - for what? I got no idea cause I didnt do any surfing when there is no wifi.

thanks for your response, tinkerbel.

Is it really is unlimited for RM99/month or it's like the iData plan with limit up to 3GB?

I won't have enough if I couple it with MultiSIM-1-Line as this allows me to use multiple devices using the same Maxis number, every additional SIM card is RM15/month. For example, USB modem, backup phone, iPhone 3GS, etc. The service allows us to connect to the Internet via GPRS, EDGE, 3G or HSDPA on your devices concurrently. Click here for more info on the service.

I'm currently using ValuePlan80 with 3 other SIM cards with the unlimited Maxis Mobile Internet (RM99/month).

@DE.si.MON:
information are available on the first page. installments are only valid for iValue plan subscribers. free SMS/MMS for iValue subscribers (amount differ according to iValue plans). free calls/SMS/MMS to supp lines under Family Plans are subjected to the amount stated for those plans.

@tony9973:
did the salesperson explain why must you get a new sim/number? AFAIK, you can keep your old number for that purpose.

@idoblu:
check your data usage under General -> Settings -> Usage.

@maxcheam:
even the RM99 unlimited data plan is capped at 3GB/month.

Thanks for the feedback. But the information is not sufficient. I also know first page got.

Anyone have any idea on the months of installment and is there any processing fee for the 0%.

Is the Family Plans same as Family Plus Plan (currently using Value 80 + Family Plus (3 lines)?

As for the Free Calls between Family Plan counted in the Free SMS (100SMS)/ Free local calls (333min)? <--- This important. Else it wouldn't be call free.

Cause ** Terms & conditions of Family Plan apply.

Thanks for your feedback. But are you sure? I'm currently using the unlimited Maxis Mobile Internet (RM99/month) on top of my Value Plus 80 plan. I'm sure I use more than 3GB every month.

Hi tinkerbel,

Noted the comment that for existing iPhone 3G customers will be given at least a RM500 rebate if they wish to upgrade to the iPhone 3GS.

Assuming I intend to get 16GB 3GS model,I will need to fork out e.g. RM1990 - RM500 (rebate) = RM1490.00 to be top up?

By the way,I bought the 8GB Iphone 3G under iValue RM100.00 for 12 mths contract from Maxis KB.

Thanks.

Was about to ask the same as well. Anyway I have post a question to Maxis via the online webpage form thing. Will wait for them to ring me instead of calling the call center and got passing around.

@maxcheam,
According to my Maxis Insider, the RM99 unlimited p/month is capped at 3GB.

oK. I know what U mean by MultiSIM-1-Line now. Yes I believe U can use this service with the plan too 3GB is considerable a lot if you don't use it to download movies and TV series.

@NXaqua & igeu69,
I haven't heard about RM500 rebate for existing i3G users from my Insider but teikwing has kept me informed of the current progress. I'll check with him and get back to U all later but in the time meantime, for those who gets an official reply from Maxis, it'll be good if U can update us here

Am holding a Amex card?Which Machines can i sign up for installment to get the 3G S or do they do for Ipod touch as well?Any idea anyone??

try to give Machines a call. all the branches should be having the installment plan. do note that Machines will have additional surcharge according to your installment period.

read the first page, post #3 for more info.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1091499/+2

i think regardless of what plan u're signing up.. it doesn't matter if u're using MultiSIM or not.. they just get u another SIM for the same line..

too bad u can't receive incoming call from that secondary MultiSIM..

hmm.. i did ask about the multisim for 1 single number in maxis center.. but the gal at the counter told me it is not supported in iphone 3gs.. and don't let me apply.. i wonder how true is this..

Thanks,tinkerbel.

Anyway someone should remove the offer rebate of RM500.00 statement displayed in the middle of Lowyat website...unless it is official.
