I've noticed this line on the iData page
"iData plan can also be purchased separately. The price of the iPhone will be at RRP."

Does it mean that even if I'm on Value First plan or standard plan, I can sign up for any of the iData plans provided I have to pay full price for the phone??

So does it mean that I can subscribe to iData1 eventhough I am on the Value First RM30 or standard plan?
Cause the term purchased separately sounds kind of ambiguous.
I mean you have no choice already if you want to get an iPhone, you'll need to sign up an iData plan for existing postpaid customer.
So why the term.

Alright, I've just called Maxis Customer Service, and clarified the term "iData plan can also be purchased separately. The price of the iPhone will be at RRP."

According to her, basically, no matter what plan you are currently holding (Value First 30, Value Plus Plan, Standard Plan), you have the option to purchase any of the iData plans (1,2 & 3), provided you pay the full price of the iPhone. And it does not come with a contract, since you already paid the iPhone in full.

I hope Tinkerbell can confirm with your insider, afraid the consultant might be talking crap. However, she does sound confident about this.

Yes, iData plans must be accompanied with the purchase of the iPhone.
However, you can choose to sign up with contract to get a subsidy on the iPhone(provided you must be existing Value Plus Plan as depicted on their website).
OR
You can choose any of the iData plans without contract, no matter what plan you are currently on. It must be accompanied with the purchase of the iPhone but at a full price.

This is what was told to me by the consultant.

Yes, this was the reply from the consultant that I spoke to.
I noticed this term on their website and am a bit curious as to what it means.
I mean why have the term "iData purchased separately, but iPhone at RRP" there if your are already surely have to sign up for the iData plan. I mean knowing Maxis, which is very "good" at their terms & conditions, it did not specify either iData 1, 2 or 3.

I mean if this is true, then you have an alternative to buying the iPhone outright while sticking to your postpaid plan, and with no strings attached. Meaning to say, you can change the iData plan at any time.

However, please do reconfirm this by calling them. It could be the consultant that I spoke to is talking crap. Who knows.

Value Plus 50 + iData2

You cannot choose iData1 since it is not contracted, so you cannot do booking.

You need at least Value Plus 50 at minimum to pair with iData.

Only 3G, EDGE, GPRS are recorded.
The . is only for display. Instead of showing the full MY MAXIS, you see only MY ...

If he is referring to o instead of a .
then its gprs.
