dvlzplayground im in the same boat with you. biggrin.gif


Added on August 12, 2010, 10:00 pmFor those planning on taking the Prepaid Plan, buy a new Hotlink sim card, change from postpaid to prepaid, or use existing hotlink sim card (if you have one) ?

that's good news. for 16gb iphone, assuming reload rm30 per month, and mobile internet rm68/month (after the 1st year).. totals up to only rm4026 in two years. 2490+(24*30)+(12*68). assuming the outright price is really rm2490 lah hehe

i think the best part about this plan is i can control so i wont exceed 500mb. if exceed, maxis simply cant charge me if i dun have credit. for postpaid, i dun dare sad.gif

btw, say i have the 500mb free data in a month. suddenly 1 day i decide to surf a lot, can i still get the rm8 1-day mobile internet plan for an extra 500mb?
*
if you take the iValue 1, RM100 x 24 months + RM1990<--- (assuming they dont change the price) (32GB) = RM4390

RM4390 - RM4026 = RM364

Now i am undecided, should i go with prepaid plan or go with the iValue 1? It's almost the same price.

Advantages of Postpaid.

iValue 1 has 333min free calls, 100 SMS, 10 MMS free. Free between family lines. No need to go to shop and buy credit.

Disadvantages of Postpaid.

15sen/min, 10sen/SMS.

Advantages of Prepaid.

Hotlink Youth Club = 12sen/min, 1 sen/SMS (same operator), 15sen/min, 6sen/SMS (other operators)

Disadvantages of Prepaid.
Have to go to shop and buy credit.

Just buy credit from maybank2u or cimbclick la..
Another solution is go to garage sale and search for people that sell credit..

If you sms a lot, for sure prepaid is better. maxis is never gonna reduce the sms cost for postpaid even a lot of people have complain over and over again.
if you still want postpaid(like me), get the 500sms for rm8 bundle or if you sms a lot to few particular numbers, then get the extra 10 where you can call at 8sen/min and sms at 1sen only at rm10 whole month

So.. it is still safe to pre-order even though I'm going to go for the prepaid plan? The thought that keep lingering in my mind is that maxis will prioritize the postpaid users only.

Yeah. You will see it in your bill. Just same goes to if using the 500MB package, once after 500MB they will charge with normal rate. You will see the bomb in your bill. But no worry, they will charge you max of RM 250 even if your bill is thousand over for the data.
