RM58 per month for Data plan 500MB

any change of contract will involve termination, thus the charge of fee and margin

y u wan to change from ivalue1 to idata2?
ivalue is line+data, idata is data only(for those who already hav maxis value plan line)

if u not already has a maxis postpaid line, ur onli option is ivalue, not idata

Icehart,

commitment more or less same, but not equal actually

iValue has a flat rate of 0.15/min for call(all network), 0.10/sms(all network)
while ValuePlus has 0.12/min(maxis2maxis) or 0.18/min(other) for call, 0.05/sms(maxis) or 0.15/sms(other)

it seems equal, onli if u hav a balanced number of contacts who is 50% maxis, 50% others
but if u hav a lot Maxis contacts, clearly ValuePlus has bigger advantage over iValue(cheaper)

anyhow, all change in plan are possible to subject to termination of contract(iphone 1)
and thus, u might hav to cover back the saving u get from iphone too(RRP - purchase price)

guys...caught with a thing here...
i jz receive my bill
the pro-rated part
supposingly, if u divide RM50/500MB, u ll get RM0.10/MB
but my pro-rated amount is RM16.19, and listed for 3.xMB usage
but it does mentioned below tat prorate amount from 500MB plan is -15.xx
end up i hav ot pay another 0.33

jz curious, how is ur monthly bill show on this part?
the amount of data transfer u used? the total rate, or the used rate?

it looks to me like iValue3 package rather than promo

it was, and it will

currently it is forced to becoz the supply they acquired is insufficient to meet all demand
choosing between contract and no-contract, of coz they will go for contract customer
those are the people who not just get the phone, but continuing subscribe to their service, a consistent income source
whereas outright purchase of phone only is....phone only.

u can wait til the demand ease down....or just buy the iPhone 3G 8GB

bcoz by the time u waited, may b it is next round they release iPhone 3GX/4G
3Gs will become wat iPhone 3G is today

dude...google around or go apple website to check tat...

jz head to maxis center...i bet they have...do specify clearly that u r looking for 3G, not 3GS

jz go check maxis site on the plan...value plus has voice/data/sms counted in the commitment
the thing is by default, the rate for the data is pay-as-u-use, which is 1cent/kb
so eventually 1MB will cost u Rm10.24
compare now u assigned to iData2 plan, 500MB for RM50 added on ur bill
ur bill now add only RM50, if is Pay-as-u-use, its RM5120!!!!

no...gov policy preventing that....
unless later on they wanna protect TM and let TM monopolize?

set by urself la....

if u wanna change ur date...jz call up to get it done

nope....measure urself with the option in iphone

when u register for booking, the deposit is paid, later when u pick up the phone, it will become part of ur payment for the phone, of coz it is not refundable if u decide to quit the booking, unless they delay u for months and not delivered, and u quarrel with them. what u expect? commit and let go freely as u want?

dude...getting another iValue plan on dif tel line? of coz 2 contracts then
if u mean the same Sim line, i assume u r talking about something like renew ur contract earlier, and go for buying a phone...not sure if tat possible, better ask SC

but y not wait, since iPhone 3G not much dif from 3Gs, jz wait til ur contracts ends
and likely u might hear of newer model (3Gx??) around later...jz decide later...jz suggestion

different CS staff can tell u different thing, mind u
but if u check Maxis site...it does not list out international call rate in it...so.....hmm


A1) yes
A2) ur decision, but yes, better option
A3) u can choose to discontinue the plan
A4) check with Maxis when u pay for it. Clarify before u pay

you can

my fren caught an issue on this (he is 3G, the first batch)
he was also moved on wit iValue plan
end up when they convert the line to iValue from Family plus
there is no longer Family plan append to his account.

it seems when u r on iValue, it is not under something tat qualify for family plus
i'll need to clarify wit my fren for this

btw....VP50 and iValue1 call rate does dif
would suggest u go wit ur plan1 (before clarifying Family plan issue) if ur target call recipient are mainly Maxis line too

Maxis ppl A giv u correct answer, B giv u wrong idea...
any unlocked iphone can use here, and yes...u do not entitle for iValue/iData if u not buying iphone from Maxis
but if u opt for iData2/iValue1, the similar data package from Maxis Mobile Internet is RM58 for 500MB too...
tat is...if u already own a Maxis postpaid line...

my suggestion would be....
if u already own a maxis line for this, jz get the Mobile Internet for RM58(if u actually opt for 500MB), the B is crapping, ain't iPhone a smartphone too???

if u not own a maxis line, but u wish to own 1, as mackiddo said, book and wait for the line(depends which plan u want, and if u willing to wait a month), then swap it and sell the phone after u got them (so u hav a chance to make some cash out of it may b)

if u not own a maxis, and u not really intend to hav 1, jz think of bcoz u want a plan for ur iphone...
yes, try consider Digi unlimited plan...or a plan which meets ur need...
it wont be tough for config, jz google around or surf here...u should find steps for it

no

iData is jz like iValue, its a subscribe-as-u-buy
allowing existing Maxis postpaid customer to buy the iphone, keep their current call plan, and add on data for iphone...

u can onli get the Maxis Mobile Internet
http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/mobile/br...earch/index.asp
Monthly 500MB pass = RM58

nope...that's does not tell the picture

i monitored mine....
the unbilled amount reflects my phone/sms bill only....not the data part....
I would believe they only count it into the unbilled once u exceed usage quota, because after that, u are on pay per use basis, every bit is prepared to be billed.

1) u can get the outright purchase (should be available for 32GB), which sell at Retail price, but probably they try to bundle the prepaid plan for u, with the data.... If the prepaid plan is to sign-up, yes, you need to register for it.

2) iPhone sold in Malaysia is unlocked version, so you can change to your country's telco SIM card when u return home.

dude....stop confusing urself....

jz make it simple.....
ur usage is less than total commitment, u pay the commitment (let say RM100)
if u use more than it, then pay the total, which ever higher. got it?

may b u need to calculate it in details....
see if it is matching
the usage exceeding the allocation along wit commitment is charged at different rate...
