Hi,
This mean no enough stock for current pre order distribution?
This could also mean all pre order would be 45 days waiting list for whole Malaysia.

I found out from my friend in S'pore, they can get iPhone in couple days time and all 3 telcos is selling it.

Somehow, Selayang Maxis Centre could take my booking today.. they said that I need to wait for 3-4 weeks for delivery.. now, I'm confused .. I need to port my 019 number to maxis .. and the guy said that I need to port it before I get the iphone. How on earth can this be done? The ivalue package needs to be subscribed with the iphone I believe. Anybody has done porting when buying iPhone before?

I ordered mine on 1st of Dec and I need to pay RM200, this is at Maxis BB Selayang. So if they forgo the deposit, probably this is new. Still waiting patiently for the SMS now .. as always, was told that they could get the iphone earlier but I don't really trust them .. reading previous messages, it will probably > 30 days before I could get mine.

do i need to register another new line for iphone 3gs package even though i already have existing maxis rm100 monthly package

You need to change the package to one of the many options available .. and then tied to a year or two depending on the contract/option you choose ..

do i need to register the line and start using the ivalue 100 after paying rm200 deposit when i still need to wait for the phone?

You can't get the ivalue 1(RM100) before getting the iphone. I've no idea for a new subscriber, but for me who're porting over from Celcom, I need to port over the number before I get the iphone.. to other plan before migrating to ivalue 1. If you're not a Maxis subscriber yet, I guess get yourself a hotlink and when you got your iphone, change the hotlink to ivalue1 (or better, ask the counter smile.gif)

To Whom It May Concern

Please be advised that mobile phones sold in Malaysia are all unlocked and that is the legal bind to all telcos. Likewise for the iPhones.

As to the locked sets, from what I digested after one of the forummers posted, he was not alluding to that the iPhones are locked per se. What he was saying, which I personally doubt Maxis can do it (but who knows, I could be totally wrong), is that Maxis barred the changing of the APN so that whoever buys the iPhone must only use a Maxis SIM for data purposes. For voice calls and the like, one could still use SIMs from other service providers.

I hope those concerned are now informed but if anyone knows any differently, I can stand corrected.

Yup, if someone can prove that Maxis does lock the data .. time to bring this up to MCMC..

Just wanted to know what others we talking about the Astro/Maxis discount thingy.. if possible, can somebody scan and post? Cheers!

Called 123 asking if I can change my booking to 32GB to get mine straight away, the callcentre guy couldn't really answer this .. he said that I could walk to the centre where I did my booking and asked them because they don't usually allow transfer of booking etc. Aishhh!!!

Anyway, it seems that the departments that handle the booking & distribution of the iphone don't do well .. there should be first in first out ... and not sporadic .. call centre & front counters tried to accomodate us .. but the hanky panky done at the back office ..

Did you get the expected time for the 16GB one? Do they have 32GB in stock? I booked mine at Selayang early of the month, 123 called yesterday, Selayang told them no stock for 16GB .. hehe.. standard answer I guess.

I just got Maxis 3Gs 32gb white from LYP Apple shop. On the spot, pay rm2999 n take home. They even let me choose white or black.  Dont understand y ppl willing to pay like rm2700 rm2800 for the 16gb unofficial sets........... n those ppl getting the Maxis 16gb waiting for months really patient. Y not just pay a lil bit extra n grab the 32gb straight.

Compare to RM1990 for 16GB 3Gs with iValue1 contract for a year.. surely if they could met the deadline, this 16GB will surely be a outseller. I just couldn't wait for the 16GB and go with 32GB instead too.. the RM1K different could pay for 10 months bill ..

I believe it's true about Maxis' directive not selling any prepaid set.
I went to one Maxis center last Saturday and the guy say it was like that since October !!

He asked me to take the value package instead which I refused...and then he said something like : Or boss if not you take this Nokia E72 larr .... WTF !!  rclxub.gif

Which Maxis Centre did you go? I went to Selayang one, they've been selling the iphone 32GB outright, no contract etc.. for RM2990 since the day Maxis said in the advert that the 32GB is available in their website.

Guys .. read what Intanium said, you DON'T NEED TO BOOK for 3Gs/32GB .. go to any Maxis Centres (not MEP) .. most probably they've one in stock..

Nowadays no need to book jor, coz today i walkin to KLCC Maxis, and purchased 32GB right away... during lunch time summore...
waited for like 15 minutes before I was served...

If you follow the thread closely, starting middle of last month, you'll see that those who need to book are those who wanted the 16GB version not 32GB one since you can get 32GB at most Maxis Centres (you can even buy it outright, no contract is needed).
