Hey guys, just testing out the Internet Tethering (since I have lots of data allocation left) and not bad at all. Went very smoothly and fast (Streamyx has been so slow the past many days, so got me annoyed).

Just need to confirm again with you guys that Maxis doesn't charge any extra cost if we're using within the data usage limit, right? I'm using Data Plan 50, so I have 500mb. Thanks.

No extra cost but do keep track of your usage.

Anyone sent iPhone 3GS to Maxis for warranty? I suspect my phone has some hardware issues with the home button.

Any idea how long will it take to get a replacement/fix?

the waiting period varies. some cases only took 2 weeks while some took up to 1 month or so. some centres might have refurbished replacement units in stock. smile.gif
shall depends. opt for Maxis KLCC, The Gardens or Sunway.

I spoke to Maxis ppl. They said they will send to SG to confirm that it's a hardware defect before they will replace your unit. So I'm assuming that I will be iPhone-less for at least a few weeks.

Are there any cases which users get an immediate replacement set?

these 3 places should have plenty of stocks compared to others.
i have not came across any case where one do get immediate replacement. however, there might be exceptional cases. anyway, how serious is the defect? have not experienced a single issue with my UK O2 set after 1 year and a half of usage. smile.gif

The home button is less sensitive than before. Sometimes it doesn't detect my click. So I have to press harder.

I can live with it, but better to claim warranty in case of reselling.

From http://www.maxis.com.my/main.asp

"Maxis Berhad will launch iPhone 4, the thinnest smartphone in the world with the highest resolution display ever built into a phone, in Malaysia in the coming months."

I hope they will maintain the prepaid package.

Maxis is quite slow. It has been a week since I sent in my 3GS for warranty.

The CSC can't even check the status for me. I have to walk-in and ask =.=

Hey guys, i just called maxis and they say their micro-sim is for iPad only..
No calls can be mad on the micro sim. Is it true? I thought calls can be made..

I spoke to a Maxis staff. For now only can use Data on the microsim. It's meant for iPad. You CANNOT make call with it.

However I'm quite sure they will come up with a compatible simcard when iPhone 4 is out.

Collected my refurbished 3GS yesterday. Their staff said that they no longer have new sets for replacement. Probably they are clearing stock. Hopefully iP4 will be here asap.

Some of their staffs said some of the replacement sets are new according to a LYN forumer. I think it depends on availability. If you send in your phone on the first week of launch, I don't think they have a refurbished set for you. Instead, they'll probably give a new set.

Correct me if I'm wrong...

if you spoke to those promoters, then i would say they are clueless, i rather believe Maxis CEO than those pesky promoters standing at the entrance of the store.

Seconded. Just wait and it will come smile.gif

No rush...

just wondering, do any of you have problems with internet tethering since upgrading to OS4? All along I tether happily with OS3.1.3 no probs, after upgrading to OS4 suddenly the internet tethering option unavailable in the settings.

Any ideas? I'm still on a 3G if that matters.

My tethering on iOS4 3GS works flawlessly.

I think you guys will experience the same "long wait iPhone 3GS" syndrome. A lot of people calling Maxis almost everyday just to know when their will arrive. And then , you will see some other people get much easier from Singapore etc. And more people will get more frustrated...

Is it worth waiting the pre-order from maxis or Digi...? Or just a slightly expensive iPhone 4 from Singapore..? hehe..

It's not just about money... Don't forget warranty...
