Guys,

Had a chat with Maxis Centre personnel. They die die said that I am not to get a prepaid line with data unlimited and hope to use it with the iPhone 3GS. They insist that carrier settings are such that it will not work if I am using existing data unlimited line. Which to me does not make sense. Any truth to this claim?

@Mr Kong,
It is not possible for us to tell U how much bandwidth LYN takes up!

@gogo2,
In that case, my suggestion is for U to buy a prepaid @ RM8.80 which will enable you to purchase the iPhone.  When U get it, just use ur existing postpaid SIM with the iPhone and open the RM99 unlimited plan

@tink:
so now Maxis postpaid subscribers has a new option:

get iPhone 3G/3GS at RRP price by subscribing to iData, without contract.

there's no need of switching to iValue, get Hotlink prepaid plan or subscribing to iData on contract.

getting yours?

@NekoRacing,
It beats me Y U would want to sign on to the iValue plans.  Everyone knows the iValue plans aren't "great" plans, and that they're $-making plans.  You're better off with a Value Plus sign + iData plan instead [I read users can now subscribe to the iData].

@bonzaimy,
The 500MB has always been on the plan; it didn't just start yesterday.

To be frank, I never exceed the limit of 500MB on my data usage but yet I still get charged sometimes.

i went to maxis centre.. they told me the rm100 is rm50 for the 333 minutes and rm50 for the 500Mb data. so i think its still 1 minute 15 cents.. unless i'm told wrongly..

The 100 u will be spending on yr iValue plan is RM50 for the 333 mins at 15cent/min and the other rm50 is for data

for better understanding thanks.

Most of the people get the contract is for the saving that they have on the iphone. Lol. That is why .

@gogo2:
it's not fair to equate prepaid to postpaid in the first place as both are obviously two different plans. hence, the free 500MB obtained via prepaid can't be weigh against the 500MB in iValue/iData.

firstly, call rates for prepaid to Maxis numbers are not fixed. (except for Hotlink Youth Club, Activ10)

second, the convenience of postpaid against prepaid.

next, you get more savings on the iPhone upfront if you're on iValue/iData.

most people opted for iValue/iData due to the fact that they've already been on postpaid and looking for more savings on the iPhone upfront rather than paying for the outright prices.

and of course, if one is looking at the free 500MB data alone, he/she should go for outright/repaid purchase rather than iValue/iData.

as usual, those who're average users should go for VP50 + iData 2 rather than iValue 1.

*"duped by Maxis" isn't a appropriate term. this is not supposed to be a Maxis bashing thread. cheers~
