So weird my cousin get his Iphone 4 white for 1040 from maxis and paying 150 per month for only data usage on 24 month contract.
He told his friend father working in maxis and this is company pakage.
Got such things?
My iphone 4 got abit scratch at the side near speaker today abit sad

Hay guise.

I sent an used unit of iPhone 4 (bought on April 29, 2011) to Maxis KLCC about two days ago, due to loose part inside the iPhone (there was rattling sounds when I and Maxis reps shake the iPhone).

So they changed the iPhone 1 to 1 with a replacement unit. All settled in 30 minutes sans the usual waiting game before you see those reps.

Several things I observed.

1. They don't know/don't care if I JB the unit. Obviously I sent it in restored to stock.

2. They claimed the replacement unit is indeed new. I don't think so.

3. The replacement unit, OUT OF THE BOX ALSO GOT RATTLING SOUND. Almost similar things happen to my wife's new set.

On April 29 (the day I bought two units of iPhone 4) out of the box, there is no sound. They brought the unit somewhere else, and came back. Suddenly got sound.

Now my wife's unit sometime no sound. When she massages a bit beside the Home Button, the sound comes back. She don't want to change 1 to 1. Malas she said.

So my point is, when you go to replace any unit do check it super meticulously. I got rattling sound from my 1st iPhone 4 (1 month old), I got rattling sound from my 2nd iPhone 4 (several seconds old), my wife got NO sound from her iPhone 4.

Now I'm on my third unit of iPhone 4. So far so good.

Did you check whether your iPhone 4 replacement set has a yellow screen or blue tint screen ? My friend got replacement klcc also but yellow screen unit. Complained again they say it is due to different LCD manufacturer therefore yellow.

you can use a tool to check the manufacture date if they claim it is new. try to use itools from www.itools.hk
but i am pretty sure any replacement unit is refurbished set but in perfect condition and cosmetically new.

for LCD blueish or yellowish, there will be no different from Apple POV, so they wont do anything on this.

Hi, current im a Hotlink user. Can i buy the iPhone 4 without signing any contract from Maxis there? I was went up to certain Maxis outlet & they say need to purchase the iPhone with the iValue plan as well. Thanks.

You need to sign the iValue contract bro.

but i heard that it can be purchased outright via Hotlink plans

actually it depends on each Maxis MEP store how many units they will release for the purchase with outright price..i manage to buy the phone with outright price from maxis MEP store at bangsar..before that i call them first and ask about this.After that they ask me to wait for 2 days before they can give u a unit to purchase with outright price..

Now try to hunt awhile for this matter. Thanks.

But can i go for maxis centre to ask about the outright purchase?

no problem bro..search their phone number for each maxis MEP store HERE

I've called up Maxis 123 to file my complaints today! And, I've now converted my lines to other operators.

Things are like this, share with u all.. Hopefully you won't get caught with this ''being CHEATed'' experience!

I went to Maxis center KLCC last month on 17th May to upgrade my data plan from 500GB to 1.5GB; at the end of the billing day, what I got it's excess data usage! Guess what~ my actual data usage for the entire month is only 462MB, not even excess the old quota 500MB, and I'm actually upgraded to 1.5GB..

So, I've found out from Maxis center in The Gardens today that they'll separate the charging rate base on 2 different plan based on before and after 18 May. I was being double charged based on this calculation
1)24 to 18 May: pro-rated daily usage = 500MB / 30 days x 25 days;
2)18 to 24 (my monthly billing date): pro-rated daily usage = 1.5GB / 30 days x 6 days.

So even though my usage is less than 500mb, but based on pro-rated calculation, I have used more than allowed. So I was charge crazily expensive data charges!

This is an idot calculating system! .. Or, rather to say, it's a gimmick for them to earn millions of dollars /mth from customers''so-called' excess data usage!!

And, the time I was ugrding my data plan, no customer service representative explain this point to me !! So, I'm feeling being cheated !!

You paid to upgrade your data usage, but grab an "extra charges" at your billing date!

hey guys,
I got the same situation like yours too...
i got my phone on 30 May 2011 with ivalue1.
My phone got barred today and i make the payment without checking d bill.
i got a shock now as my data charges alone is RM240.
anyone experience this before???

i got the 250 waived.

1. i told dem its not in d contract for dem to prorate the 1st mth bill.
2. SA shud have informed us wen we bought d fone but failed to do so. and im stil in d 1gb limit.
3. its common sense to assume dat billin starts on d day we bought the fone.
4. if they dun waive, i wil bring d issue to newspaper, tribunal court and consumerism ministry.

they kecut and said they will waive straight away. do up ur voice to sound stern n angry.

hey guys , i got some simple question need u guys to clarify for me

1. im currently subscribe the Iphone Idata Plan (iData 3) which is 3GB local data included. this plan is unlimited ?
2. im currently at kampar (perak) area study , my speed at this area is really slow like hell , izzit consider area problem ? or other problem ?
3. can i make a complaint about the speed that i suffer now ?

thanks a lot ...

1. no. anythin xtra will be charged.
2. area problem
3. yes. call Maxis CS n complain.

Hey guys I have a question and really need some opinions.

I bought my iPhone a month ago with a one year contract. According to maxis, their iPhone is unlocked so basically we can use the phone with any operators. I'm leaving to study abroad in India after a year. So is it possible for me to still use my iPhone in india by subscribing to India's prepaid operators? Or should I just leave my iPhone back in Malaysia and use a normal phone instead?

yes you may bring your phone to india
if and only if india is using GSM and not CDMA

well, it do works sometime... but, i felt that really depends on what kind of CS you dealing with..

if you complain to the CS who care about their companies brand and good in working attitude, then it's fine..

but if you complaint to the CS who don't care about their comapnies image n brand, then you'll get headache and disappoint on the poor service you received..

guys my brother just bought his iphone...first he synced his phone with my lappy..i installed all the apps to the phone using my lappy...then he synced the phone to his pc then suddenly all the apps in the phone has gone...please somebody can help me..

MEP say need to sign contract. May i know 1GB data usage is that enough for those normal whatapps, facebook, msn, skype, check email, normal internet surfing?
