Thanks a lot, tickerbel. I will just wait and see or perhaps just get the iPhone3GS via the prepaid plan just to avoid my existing plans being messed up. 3GB is easily reached especially if you're hardcore YouTube users who only watch at high quality.

Added on August 2, 2009, 5:55 pmI did the same thing at Maxis Center in Queensbay Mall. the guy said can't guarantee it will work. I even offer my current MultiSIM-1-Line SIM card that I'm using. They resists to let me try it on their demo unit.

Added on August 2, 2009, 6:01 pmYes, you can. But only 1 SIM can be active at any one time. The MultiSIM-1-Line SIM cards come with pre-saved speed dials to check which SIM card is active as well as to set the current SIM to be the active one. You can change it anytime you want to receive calls. Check their website for more info.

And you know what's very good about it? You just need to subscribe the unlimited RM99/month once on your line and all SIM cards can enjoy it. You can get connected concurrently. For example, you can browse via USB modem on your laptop while checking email on your Blackberry and checking out Google Maps on your iPhone. There are more scenarios that you can't even imagine.

my god, maxis so big company also got processing fee for this 0% interest easy payment. >.<

Hey guys, I'm a little confused about the new iValue plans.

Is the Free 100 SMS and 10 MMS between main and sup lines or to other networks as well? If not, can I change my booking plan from iValue to iData + Value Plus or something else?

same here. no one seems to know about this. the terms and condition also not updated. faq also not updated.

confusing maxis. as usual.

still awaiting news from tinkerbel's Maxis CS side. anyway here's my guess,

the Free 100 SMS and MMS is for your line to other Maxis numbers only.

while regarding free calls/SMS between your iValue line and supplementary lines (s) under Family Plan, it will be:

# Voice and video calls are FREE up to 15 hours.
# SMS is FREE up to 1500 SMS.

(since Maxis did not state any info on that, my bet is it will be according to what current Value Plan users enjoy with their Family Plan supplementary lines)

@ChillyPepper:
you can switch to different plans when you collect your unit.

Just a update for those of you who got the phone with hotlink plan on saturday and still haven't received the free 500MB data SMS.

I just called up the customer service (after 24 hours since my last report) and they said that they will only activate it on working days. If by noon tomorrow there is still no activation of the 500MB free data you can call back customer service about it.

So far I am lucky that the iPhone never try to connect the internet even though I did accidentally ter-clicked on Safari and Mail. Lucky 1U have free WiFi, other big mall should really do that..

@Teikwing:

Thanks for your reply. I hope Tinkerbel can clarify this matter. Most of my friends are from other networks, so I think I'd get a better deal from Value Plus + iData if the free 100 SMSes are from Maxis to Maxis only. Do you think that this deal is better if I SMS more to friends using other networks?

Thanks for the swift reply...

huh.. i'm using MultiSIM.. did the gal explain y?

I'm planning to use the secondary SIM on my SE phone and primary on iPhone.. means i can have only either SIM to receive call at one time?

Strange, I bought a 3GS from Switch Mines, Sunday noon, with a new Hotlink card. When I eventually put in the card about 3 hours later and activated the phone, I received the 500mb sms almost immediately.

which number did u called? 1300 820 120? The hotlink customer service abit sucky =( i got my phone on friday, till now havent get..called on saturday, till now nothing...now calling hotlink customer service again zzzzz

Thanks teikwing. Still not sure the Family Plan for sup follows which plan, Family Plus or Family 30 (Very big different, family plus follow principle line charges.)

yes, only the active SIM can receive calls/SMSes.

Called the Customer Service.
I got my iPhone thru Machines, so that CS said 500mb only entitled to phones purchased from Maxis Centres.

I told him it was never stated in their terms and conditions otherwise I would have got it from Maxis Centre instead. In the end, that CS said he will escalate this to their technical, and they will set it up for me or something. So now waiting for them to get back to me.

i went to maxis store at mid valley. they said no book are available for prepaid plan or buy the iphone only. its available only for postpaid plan... they out of stock right now.

is any store can ??

Yeah, 1 300 82 0120. called again for the THIRD time. Every time I have to explain what is my situation then ask me to wait some more. One more call like that I am considering abandon the hotlink completely and go back to DiGi + Unlimited Data.

@Cainz:
do post an update here once Maxis has authorized the 500mb data bundle. would serve as guide for those who got theirs from Machines but unable to obtain the data bundle stated in the plan.

@Snappit, cengkadad:
i believe it was due to the limited stocks Maxis has currently and priority is given to those who had pre-booked earlier.

really meh got charges for 0% interest installment?

Can anyone confirm this? Then it defeats the purpose of saying it's 0%

This is one question that put me on hold to get the iPhone. I asked the sales person in Sunway Pyramid how this works. he said that 100SMS and MMS is to maxis numbers (non-fam applicable) while if you msg to other network you'll get charge 10 cent per sms.

I then asked him so that means I would have to pay on top of the RM100 (referring to iValue plan 1) and he answered yes.

I sent an email to maxis too now waiting for reply

IMHO if like that right, I think it is ripping off people's pocket lor. Like seriously...
