fyi for those who are looking for easy pay installment for iphone 3GS...

just came from Machines Mid Valley to pay the deposit for iphone 3GS (16GB, without contract)..

i've asked if I can pay the balance thru Maybank easy pay, they said yes but will add 4% for 12mos installment and 2% for 6mos installment..

well, this info came from the staff of machines mid valley.. the thing is, they accept easy pay installment for purchase of iphone 3GS.. 

@avars:
does does rates given is apply to all banks' cc or just selected few?

Hey guys, i just got my bill for my phone and found out that i have rm200+ for data charge. I am currently on the Idata 2 plan. How come maxis still did not switch my usage to the plan? any ideas?

I'm using hotlink, and I bought an iPhone 3gs early August via prepaid plan and gave it to my mother. Now I'm buying another set, this time with iData 2. Am I correct when I say



To pre-order an iPhone, I'm required to convert my current prepaid number to postpaid, select a postpaid plan, and on top of that, pick up the iData 2 plan?



In the picture above, what does Commitment Fee mean? Is the fee to be paid once during the sign up?



Say, I sign up for Value Plus 50, and then iData 2. With that, my monthly bill will be RM50+RMX (iData 2 monthly fee + whatever usage for a particular month). Am I correct?

Kindly advise.

Heya Tinkerbell or teikwing or whoever knows,

Wanna ask info regarding the Easy Payment Scheme, From my understanding, as it states in the first FAQ page:

"Easy Payment/Monthly Installment Plan for iPhone 3G/3GS:
Maxis Centres:
QUOTE
0% interest Easy Payment Plan available for iValue Plan subscribers only (iData TBC). Prepayment of monthly fee is required. For more info, refer to iValue Plan & details in Post #2.

Only applicable to credit card holders of selected banks:
Maybank (up to 24 months)
Public Bank (up to 12 months)
HSBC (up to 12 months)
Citibank
*No processing fee for HSBC & Citibank
(credits to jssl & silverarrow)
Machines Outlets:
*Rates might be bank-dependent, do verify with respective banks before purchase

QUOTE

Surcharge for 6 months and 12 months Installment Plan , 2% for 6 months and 4% for 12 months .

More information about the installment payment, call Machines 1U @ 03-7727 2606 (credits to boringpig)
> Amex Gold CC: 0% interest on installments for purchases made up to December 2009 (credits to tinkerbel)
> Direct Access MasterCard: 0% interest on installments for purchases made up to December 2009
(10 months installment =min. RM1000, 20 months installment = min. RM3000) (credits to jackhammer84)"|
So basically it seems to me that if I buy at the Maxis Centres I can only use the said cards for the purchases of the iValue plans right AND if bought at Machines can use other cards too ya.

Situation is I do not want the ripping off iValue since im already a postpaid user hence i wanna take the iData plans which Maxis finds unworthy of being within the Easy Payment Scheme.

So I was thinking yeah, if a Direct Access Card is used as mentioned, which is for any purchases within the limits defined, do you think I could still purchase the phone with iData using that scheme hence enjoying the 0% installments?

Thanks! Hope its clear what I'm saying!

can we pay the rm200 deposit using cc too?

what do u guys mean by 'machines'? i saw it couples of times here but i dont understand

guyz guyz FAST question:

-Are the Free call mins and sms in the ivalue plans applicable to another networks ? ? celecom.digi etc..

if not, i guess my bill will be far more than that rm100 per month.. therefor im wont be getting iPhone 

considering also no built in SMS/CHARACTER COUNTER. wonder how u guyz cop with that especially we love to msg alot.

Guys, I am still confused about the free local calls subject for Value Plan 1 (RM 100 = Gives 337 free minutes). If I exceed the free quota allocated, I will be charge 15 cents/min. However, these additional charges applies after the RM 100 or they only start counting after you used up the free minutes allocated? For example, for this particular month I would used up to 700 minutes, do the extra charges is RM 54.45 cents. Do I have to pay RM 154.45 cents or RM 100 (Since I use below the commitment rate)?

And how do 500mb worth of free data fare well with everyday usage of MSN and google talk? Is it feasible? 

Oh by the way can I subscribe to value plus? (The one that gives 8 cents/min and 1 cent/sms to 8 favorite Maxis numbers)

i signed during the preoder period , i dun remember seeing the free smses, that day i browse thru only i notice that, so am i automatically eligible for it? or no?

quick question. sorry if it was answered b4.

  i am using hotlink with 3gs now. free 500mb for 1 year. (im few who got the phone damn early during launch, hotlink still available then)

  i seldom call and cant even finish 100mb of the 500mb free data entitled for first month usage...

  after 1 yr, can i opt for Value first + iData rm30? tat will make my bill only rm60+/month

hmm.. yday i go ask machine for installment for iphone.. they told me only surcharge 4% then no more ad.. mean can installment without any interest.. then i go for 12 month without any extra charges.. just 4% surcharge for the processing fees.. am i correct?

just to double confirm

oh.. mean 4% bank charge/processing fees sure got de la and won't have any installment interest if i pay before cutoff date? if no payment made before cutoff date u will kena late charge
asked maybank is 4% other is 5% so use maybank cc can de lo.. not selected card only can use? this 1 need to ask the shop itself, different bank different charge, some charge are too big the shops not willing to bear them so they charge the customer n some dont even want to use the bank's cc, some forummer said that we can report to Bank Negara if the shop charge u extra if pay using cards hehe.. newbie cc here..

can use auto transfer? mean auto pay by other account when the time is come? I think Maybank2U got such thing, need to double check with them got such thing? haha.. english cacat.. paiseh..

no self control needed. infact i dont even bother to use Cellular Data Network to key in wrong characters etc to turn off Maxis data. I set my wifi and data to be on all the time. I surf daily without any restrain and yet my usage is only 212MB for my first month. I do have Notification and Push set to off though

what a ridiculous plan .... I'm only paying sgd$7 for 1mpbs 30GB per month under Singtel corporate plan. and the voice plan ? it's only sgd$12 per month with 100minutes + 300 sms free.
