You can find a shop that sells Maxis set without have to q or to get the hotlink starter pack..
Some more, I bought it RM10 cheaper than Maxis
My Hubby just bought his last Sunday at RM2430 for 16G-3Gs...
and got the screen protector for free...
Just love it! If you wanna know which shop, I can introduce it to you..
And the seller is so friendly, ooo they even transfer all the contacts for you

So if I want claim my iPhone if my sunk button problem how to I know it's refurbished set ?

If they decide to give to refurbished set, there is nothing much can be done as thats how it's done. This sets are called warranty set. You can check the lifetimer

Sorry I don't get it.. What do you mean by refurbish unit?
So whenever we claim for warranty we don't get 100% new unit?

new unit can be hardly define. it could be all the units even brand new sold are refurbished dont you think so?


As long there is no scratches etc, it will look new. Apple just need to change the casing and it will look brand new. How would u know the one u are getting from the box is also brand new?

This is a business tactic that we consumers dont know. even mine also they took from box, for all i know its brand new. For all Apple knows, its just another recycled iphone

The trend or perhaps I should say practice thus far is that most if not all replacement units are refurbished. The exception would be that when one sends in a phone for warranty, a new 'model' is just launched which Apple then would not have any refurbished units available, he/she would get a new set.

Most of the refurbished units are of US origin and therefore by referring to the Part No. which would be a US one, you would know that it is refurbished but it would be officially unlocked.

yaya.. that time i send my iphone 3gs to maxis and i get back the iphone within 2 week+ and i get back the number is mb instead of mc that time i was worry is locked set even go back maxis to exchange other.. but they told me the chip inside is changed so no need worry..

so it's mean if it is a refurbished set but inside is still fine ?? and how we know it is new set?? and what different mb or mc ? is it mb is from us ??

They used to say MB = iPhone 3G, MC = iPhone 3GS. However, my replacement iPhone 3GS starts with MB

MB? U all mean the model number? If u all talking about Model number, than my replacement unit also starts with MB

bro warrenty means how ?? the repair ??? if exchange can kah ? i no skill in this :S ... i use since last year august !!

ya repair only if yr iphone very serious and cant use it than juz exchange for u ... or u have a mouth skill talk till them exchange wif u

My 3G home button didn't sink, but it's getting harder and harder to get a respond from the button. Anywhere we could repair this? Mine is Singtel set and no more warranty.

out of warranty repairs = contact forumers = wei or crxr

seems like iphone got alot of problems... Where can we repair our phone after the warranty period? Machines?

ya thanks bro for ur info

for official repairs, take it back to the carrier (maxis / Digi) and expect it to be expensive. those would be guaranteed original parts & official technician.
for unofficial repairs, contact our forumers wei or crxr.

also, AFAIK, Apple is only doing replacements in Malaysia. Maybe its cos there's no iPhone technicians here?

ya ka ?? i heard someone spill water on thier Aus set iphone and get replacement also... hmm
