Just wanted to ask for some advice from all the sifus here. I recently booked the 3GS (1 mth waiting period) and was told that I can still change the plan and contract period upon receiving the iPhone.

During the sign-up I indicated my preferred plan was iValue 1 with 24 mths contract.

My situation is such... been a Maxis postpaid user for more than 10 years so the 24mths is no big issue in my opinion. Afterall the savings on the iPhone is more desirable. Currently I am Value Plus 80 plan.

Knowing I am a app, gaming, email user and social networking freak, I am a tad worried whether the iValue plan is sufficient as I do not want to incur excessive charges for over usage.

So my question is:
Should I stick with iValue 1 or can you kind fellas advice a better option?


Thanks in advance!

Thanks teikwing. I also heard that the 500mb data is pro-rated each day... is that true?

Yea I am contemplating on getting either IValue2 or stick with my Value Plan and just add iData3 but that would make the iPhone more expensive though.

Yes... so be careful and track your data usage as to not incurring a huge bill at the end of the month.

Yea.. exactly what I asked much earlier... my friend was also billed the same manner whereby the 500MB is actually prorated which means we can only use approx. 16MB per day only. Anything more, we will be charged.

Unfortunately no one here seems to be having the issue though.. well till you brought it up. I am keen to find out so I can decide which plan to take when my iPhone arrives.

Hi TinkerBel... well I just want to confirm that are we really confined to use the iValue 1 plan for example to a pro-rated 500MB usage on a daily basis?

If you can kindly paste the link to the discussion you mentioned above would be greatly appreciated cause I can't seem to find it.

Thanks TinkerBel for clearing that up. Feel confident now with the iValue 1 I decided on during booking.

Cheers!

Bro.. it is common sense if you read this thread. Every single new booking no matter iValue or iData will need to wait up to 30days.

No.. only iValue Plans but you can arrange directly with your card issuer if they provide flexi payment for purchases above RM 1k. As mac.tay mentioned above, CIMB allows that but you need to call them first before making the transaction.

WoW.. I hope someone can assist you on this cause I am very curious to know as well since I am gonna be getting my baby soon.

That is exactly why I opted for the 0% interest free plan using HSBC. Actually the RM100x12 months for me is no difference from the Value 80 I was using cause it is only extra RM20 per month.
