is there any MEP/Maxis Centres in Petaling Jaya that allows for Prepaid booking? I have read the previous posts that only Orange Mobile (all the way in Ampang) allows Prepaid booking. Please help!

you will be lucky if there is 1 place to book prepaid... Im series.. Im like you saying is far.. actually is quite easy take the LRT all the way to AMPANG station then take the bus to Ampang point back go back entrance scout for maxis sign. Tada there is orange. If there is 1 in PJ i asure u that there will be a lot of ppl talking about it here not Orange Mobile

i had the sims card on the day i placed my booking but yet haven used it.. and my phone wasn't here.. and ask me to wait..
22/9 i placed my booking.. will they still charge for this even i dont use and haven get iphone yet

Congrats! What plan did you book Myke?

got news that orange mobile cannot book for the prepaid iphone package now due to no more stock for iphone.

Well if the service have been activated and you can use it, then they would bill you according to the day you activate the service.

I call and complain because I saw the roadshow at Pavillion can get the Iphone within 2 days!

damn.. just call up maxis centre and they claim that cannot check for the ic number of the owner.. means that my principles line that use to order the phone is not available.. and claim that it is not on the booking status... but from last time the maxis centre called and say my iphone booking are confirm.. and waiting my MEP to call me.. MEP claim that he is not sure when the stock is confirm.. and he say if have stock will call me.. but now maxis centre say don have my name on it.. i am going to mad..

Hope you understand that there are some roadshow held at Pavilion last weekend and the sales person promise to the customer that they can get the Iphone within 2 days! If you are the customer who already book the Iphone for 2 weeks time, how would you think?

If your answer is to keep waiting for the 30-45days period, you earn my respect, and that's all.

But before you voice out so confident, you have to know that there was a Maxis roadshow at Pavilion Last weekend which promise can give out the Iphone within 2 days! So, since you already waiting for about 20 days, why can't you get your Iphone?

Maxis seriously has the management issues when come to iPhone booking.
earlier booked one unable to get their phone fast, but another part of the world making such promotion promised to give out iphone within 2 days.

For those who have waiting for more than 30 days, the best is email to them (Maxis) and you will be taken care once their staff call you up.
Many able to get their iPhone thru this method though (at least those that I know of).

Hope it helps.

Hell man, today is my 28th day of Waiting iPhone 3gs..juz now i called maxis, then only i found out that they key-in my phone number wrongly...WTF...tats y no one called me...

I won't really feel anything actually, because roadshows are there for a reason to attract more ppl. And I'm already on my 4th week of waiting, I still dun feel that much anxiety. It's clearly written on your receipt "30 days waiting time". So if after that you fire them then I understand la xD

It's like if you bought product A at a shop at RM60, and tomorrow you see a roadshow selling it at RM40, I think its really just your bad luck But anyway congratulations for your iPhone! Hopefully can get mine this week or the next

Lol bro..my name is farid not hafiz ..hope we get the phone in the same time..hehe

*PS:- This account is my bro account not mine..

So Farid, can you confirm that Orange Mobile still accepts Prepaid booking? When did you go?

i heard that maxis has been doing some sort of roadshow or promotion around for the iphone, giving them to customers on the spot. if this is true, this is really unfair to those who have paid booking fees and have to wait like ages for them.

yes, one of them being over at ASTRO's hq...
see here: http://www.mobypicture.com/user/ijansempoi/view/5578098
and this twitter status: http://twitter.com/ijansempoi/status/4856298707
and also this: http://twitter.com/smashpop/status/4856431274

really wtf man...

yeah, feel like wrecking havoc on maxis for doing this to those that have been waiting rather patiently for their iphone through the procedural order-wait-collect.

as consumers, what are our rights?
anyone can help to explain? maybe we do a mass sue? lol...

yes ... confirm ... as i now in a client site for a big company in malaysia and they having a road show now ... my friend said can get iphone on the spot but i unsure ...

i went there on 12/10/09 to book my iPhone 3Gs...they have the prepaid plan there still i guess..

Thanks

Farid
