So after i subscribed to iValue plan 1, the RM50 :50 is for calls & data charges...
So i'm sorry that i give out the wrong info last time, I really did call to maxis and ask ...
Now not only i have to control my data usage, i've to monitor my calls, sms & mms to other networks as well.... T.T (2 years contract, probably will terminate after a year)

From what i can gather from the maxis website, for iValue plans, principal and supp lines have free calls and sms. terms & conditions of family plan apply. Meaning: Get up to 15 hours of free voice and video calls between family lines*. (Up to 10 lines) Get up to 1500 free SMS between family lines. (Up to 10 lines) Free Value Added Services. You get (CLIP) Caller Line Identification Presentation, Voicemail and Call Waiting.
*Family lines: Between Principal and Supplementary lines and vice versa.
Note the above is copied from maxis website.
So the supp line wont have data? If both my gf and me were to get Iphone 4 each, we each have to get iValue plans? Is there a way to get free calls/sms between us?

found it. taken frm the iPhone 3GS terms and conditions.
There is no sharing of monthly commitments between i-Value plans (principal line) and its supplementary lines. However, credit sharing between principal & supplementary lines is possible for customers who s ubscribe to the Value Plus plans (6 months contract)

333mins x 15cents = RM50 1gb + 200sms +20mms = RM50
Added on October 20, 2010, 11:53 pmi feel the iValue plans are not really value. you cant share the unused portion with supp line. i seldom use mms, so that amt is wasted. even on my most talkative months, i hardly hit 270mins. if only there are more reasonable iData plans. RM50 for 500mb is shit!

RM50 for 500mb is shit! Not worried on the calls cause is free to all networks, worried on the SMS & MMS to other networks... and also the Data usage... Whenever I checked my unbilled amount just got a feeling to ask them change my bill cycle data again... haiz... Still got 20days to go before my next bills comes....

I'm so confused with these plans. So any benefits that you've get other than getting iphone at a cheap price with the ivalue? I've calculated to compare with value plus seems that not much of a difference or might be more costly than value plus.

calculate yourself lo. value plus 50 + idata, compared with iValue 1. which one is more worth it? of course iValue 1. it gives u 1gb idata 1gb + wat ever valueplus plan, will cost more than RM100
