QUOTE(deepan84 @ Aug 11 2010, 12:42 PM) the ivalue plan was never cheap neway. rather u take the value50+data58..atleast the 50bucks includes sms with fone call. d oni drawback is no free sms n mms lar.. eh really? for ivalue 100.. then lets say i sms 1 time to a celcom number... will i be charged rm100.10? i txt off-net quite a lot. if what u're saying is true then i should probably get value50 + data58. 333 mins free calls is nice but i dont call much

Helloooo...just wanna ask, I know Maxis lets you somehow purchase the iPhone 3GS outright through Hotlink.
For those of you who bought the 3GS from Maxis, do you know if there's more priority given to those who want a plan + phone compared to buying it outright when the phone was first launched here?
Thanks...

QUOTE(fuiyo @ Aug 10 2010, 11:26 AM) Yeah especially when Maxis claims to have a 3.6Mbps but many users only get around 1.2-1.6Mbps. What about yours?
Sigh its really a long procedure. By the time it reaches Malaysia there are already new iPods =.='' funny i get 2.4mbps thru the maxis mobile broadband.

if Apple fixes the death grip in september, is it a software fix so that people who are using the bumper can let their iPhone be naked again?

Yes, I've tested it on my Iphone4 which is a Singtel unit. Signal did dropped 1 or 2 bars, no big deal. Unless the Iphone is located at places with low signals, or else it wont drop calls. Not as bad as i expect like what we saw in youtube videos. This post has been edited by Kyoshiro: Aug 11 2010, 05:51 PM

Thanks... Yes priority given to postpaid with a plan. After that depends on supply and demand. Pretty much back then they gave a lot of priority to postpaid with a plan and no outright purchase except on few small occasion Added on August 12, 2010, 1:49 amQUOTE(HappyGOLuckyme @ Aug 11 2010, 04:30 PM) if Apple fixes the death grip in september, is it a software fix so that people who are using the bumper can let their iPhone be naked again? It exist in all phone including 3gs. Since our cell tower planning are quite ok you won't experience those until dropped calls This post has been edited by viper-xs: Aug 12 2010, 01:49 AM
