The representative gave 2 options which you either buy outright or apply a new line, reconfirm in person and yes you can buy outright if you're existing Maxis customer. Only available 27th of September onwards.

Sorry if this has been asked b4. When we pick up our IP4, i guess each of us easily spend about 15min at the counter because of the phone inspection and also the staff will copy the contacts from our old sim card to the new micro sim. Am i right?

Maybe its a repetitive question...When u said buying outright, do u mean the average maxis customer or only those whom have purchased iphone or blackberry contracts previously can do that?

u already back up ur data and all tru itunes right? that is if ure an iphone user... if not.... well that'll be a good question to answer....

I've mentioned, only current running postpaid customers with an iPhone plan that are eligible. The rest phone deals, no. You have to be a Maxis subscriber in order to buy it outright.

I wonder will maxis charge us rm 25 for microSIM even we purhaae iphone4 under contract via maxis? Is it possible to purchase an adapter to use as normal sim using maxis provided microSIM?

yes that adapter is available somewhere in lowyat garage sales.

i shee tinkerbell.. hehehe

btw i used the 99 one too for a long time and realized i was giving free money to maxis.. heck even the 500mb one i use it like once in a blue moon.. but just i need it just in case i need to close trades urgently..

anyway i realized we got similar interest.. i don know if u remember but we've talked before on the mba thread.. bout 2 years ago i guess and also the finance thread.. gah.. am still waiting for the meeting up with u and.. cant remember that guy's name.. devilruchi avatar one.. hahaha! working in US.. think his name starts with a T

Thanks. Then I don't have to worry I can't use the microSIM when I still need to use my ip3gs. How much is the adapter?

Reading so many posts asking same questions bored me to mati..however this CAN BUY OUTRIGHT thingy is interesting. Appreciate if someone can really confirm on this

I don't mind buy a Hotlink starter pack just to get i4 outright.

iValue had a max-cap of Rm250 per month if you excede your plan (found out the hard way )
Not sure about iData

woah.. i see.. but RM250 is alot too rite? =/

I'm on a Value Plus 150 plan and had booked a unit of iPhone 4 for this weekends, can I direct upgrade my Value Plus 150 Plan to iValue 2 Plan upon collecting my iPhone 4?

@Blackbird,
No.. I don't believe Maxis will help u copy the old contacts to ur new SIM card.. in that past, there was no need for a new SIM; am not sure what they gonna do this time round.

@gooni3,
Lol.. ur nick might be familiar but sorry, 2 years is a v long time!

@jimmylim85,
Aii.. adaptor v cheap only lah.. should be less than RM20.

@neekun,
Imagine U read onli sudah mau mati... what about @davidgary73 and I? We need to moderate and clean up the place! Mati x 2

Yes.. U can - so as long as ur existing VP150 plan is not bounded by any contracts.

hi all,

i got question here.

i as principal and if i want to buy 2 iPhone 4, 1 for me and 1 for my sup, both apply for iValue 1, still my sup under my account to enjoy family plan benefits?

depend on sellers. range from RM8-15.

even if u loose ur simcard, it oni takes 5mins for maxis to issue and activate the new simcard, its all done at the counter itself. so i assume d process of issuing the microsim to customers should be fairly straightforward.

i remember that guy adi.. tisbahan or something! u say wanna meet up with him one!

@TmNeTStreamyX,
Should be can except the only thing U won't get to enjoy is to share your "usage" commitment.

@deepan84,
Yup.. shouldn't be too difficult but I still think Maxis will need approx 10-15 mins with each customer; to do verification (or maybe that's done earlier?), for them to take the iPhone 4 out, show the customer and well, jot down and record down IMEI numbers + get U to sign the contract.

Tinker: thanks for the info. Btw iData 3 is better. Since there is 3gb you can use it to tethering can charge our phone. Browse Internet almost anywhere we go. My monthly usage about 2gb++. 500mb not sufficient as my bro iData 2 had a penalty hit of rm 250 for usage of another 600mb. Just facebook and youube is good enough to juice it up.
