that makes 2 of us lolx the whole brain...

haha, getting out of topic. i hope we dont get flamed for this. Anyway, alert each other on latest information, updates, and pre-ordering date, so we can all be happy when we get it first.

What about calls and sms?

Calls and SMS, like normal prepaid line, im using Hotlink Youth Club, very cheap rates.

calls n sms juz like normal hotlink plan lah. depends how much u use. as for me, not much. plus my gf bought blackberry dy so i'll just be using whatsapp to text her for free

Aiyo, my friend who i text 50-100 messages per day is using a normal phone. Wasted.

last year like this ok but iphone 4 should be the same -

1) wait lah not yet, register your interest first at maxis, they will inform you
2) Any maxis center and even Apple reseller like Machines
3) last time have to book online. then print out a receipt and go maxis center to pay RM200 booking fee. the balance you have to pay when collecting the phone. of course the rm200 booking fee is part of the iphone cost
4) be patient



I hope this time with iphone 4 still can get free 500mb data per month

iData right? Yeah its much cheaper than the iValue plans.
But there's something I wanna make sure.

Lets say I'm getting the iData 2 (RM50 per month for 500MB) now and I just reloaded RM50 into my prepaid card for calls and SMSs only.
Maxis will know that I'm on iData 2 so they won't deduct my RM50 credit which is going to be used for calls and SMSs, right?
Instead they'll charge ANOTHER RM50 for the 500MB hence every month I needa pay RM100.
Does it work this way?

Sorry if my questions are stupid.
As I've always been a postpaid user.

If I'm switching to prepaid, does it mean that I'll be less prioritized for the new iPhone 4 compared to other postpaid users who are signing up for the new iValue plans?

u're only eligible for iData plans if u use maxis value plus 50 and up postpaid plans. not available for hotlink prepaid

for hotlink u need the Mobile Internet package, which is rm68 per month for 500mb. rm88 for 1.5gb and rm98 for 3gb. this is not an iphone-only package, any phone can purchase

so lets say u reload rm100, n purchase the 500mb plan. so 100-68=rm32, so u credit for calls/sms/etc is rm32. calls n sms rates according to what hotlink plan u use. but then 500mb/month data is free for the 1st year so no need to pay lah save rm68*12=rm816!

at least that's how i understand it

Eh thanks for the info! Haha!
But what do you mean by "u're only eligible for iData plans if u use maxis value plus 50 and up postpaid plans."?
How does iData work then?

I'm currently looking for the cheapest plan for iPhone =)

Forget abt maxis.. Lousy 3G, billing problems, expensive n sux big time

Yeah man, the 3G speed is way slower than the 3.6 that they have claimed.
But most of my friends are Maxis users and I'm very happy with my number LOL

true... my 3gs serves me well with free 500mb data/permonth and it'll expire this september...
for my usage... i guess 500mb is more than enough.... hopefully maxis will do this again with iphone 4 eventhou im kinda skeptical about it

skeptical about what?

i thought iData only applicable for postpaid user.

skeptical they going to give free 500mb for prepaid iphone 4 this time around... but if they do... it'll be great... wont mind spending a bit or waiting for iphone 4 from maxis....

still all still speculations.... so take this with a pinch of salt...

i think by now everyone knows whatever the rated speed of thier internet is not the real speed. Shud be common knowledge already heheh

Then how does iData actually work for postpaid users?
