hello newbie here. anyway straight to the point.
so what y'all are saying is that there's NO WAY i can buy a iphone 3gs WITHOUT a contract from maxis as of now until godknowswhen?
does anyone have some connections i could use?

Yup it's illegal for them to charge extra. As consumers we should never allow that or else it will just continue from a habit to a cancer among merchants. Their profit margin is not your concern. The deal is between the merchant and the card issuer i.e. bank. In addition to the Star report print it and show it to them. It's even clearly stated here - http://www.bankinginfo.com.my/04_help_and_...ntPrefLangID=1& under "Do I have to pay additional costs to the merchant if I use my credit card to make purchases?"

If they insist, I advise you to call up Maxis and tell them you would report this to Bank Negara. They must learn not to take advantage of consumers. If you give in, this practice will just continue. We must make a stand!

thanks for the links! i will definitely make my stand. thanks again.

FYI Maxis Pavalion got ready stock of Iphone 3GS 32G Black & White..

bro, what about 16gb?

awww man!!!! ive placed a booking at one utama mep on the 15th oct..still no news. i was even told to wait for another 2-3 weeks. this sucks!

u book 2 unit in one time? in one contract?

O.o I've ordered and need to wait for like 3-4 weeks at my place.
Should have go pav instead..

still....no..call...still...no iphone..damn..orange..cant do this..no...more..... x.x

How long already?

since everyone keeps talking about how pav has got stock and all, can i purchase an iphone 3gs at PAVILION without preordering, that is buying outright/outright purchase without any plans?

16Gb both black & white gotta wait
i just got mine yesterday after waiting for 26 days =D
btw i am not a boy~ =,=

too bad.. all the best to you

i believe outright purchases is not available for now. you can try your luck though.

How many phones they have exactly?

I've tried at my place, they don't allow without subscribing into their plans.
But as teikwing said, you can try your luck.


26 days, that's just nice.
Now my turn to go through the days
Anyway enjoy your phone~

Maxis Midvalley is promising a 2 day waiting period. Book today and pick up ur iPhone on Friday. They open a booth in front of MPH. Worth a shot kalau Pavillion branch goes out of stock.

Hope this helps.

Why la u all so lambat tell me
I ordered 7th nov, skrg must wait so long haiyo haha
