this is very very wrong. it's a prepayment, not deposit

u're correct, maxis will refund ur prepayment equally in 5 months

ah my bad then. sarcasm doesnt really show in text

yes the 1st year is from apple, n the 2nd year is from maxis themselves. that's why it doesnt show up in apple's website

only with 24 month contract plans

nope wrong this is how u'll get charged

1) call 200 mins (less than 667)
2) ur first 400 maxis-to-maxis SMS (ur total is more than 400)
3) data usage less than 2gb

so ur rm155 covers 1,2,3 above. BUT, u have to pay for the extra 600 SMS u sent. that's 600*0.1=rm60. u pay RM155 + RM60 = RM215. this is assuming u did send 400 sms to maxis. if, lets say, among ur 1000 SMS, only 100 is to maxis, meaning u need to pay for ur 900 off-net SMS. so RM155 + 0.10*(900) = RM245

for ur 2nd example,
4) ur calls above 667 mins, (1000-667)*0.12 = RM40
5) assuming ur first 400 SMS is to maxis, then u exceed 400 (doesnt matter to what telco), 400*0.10=RM40
6) data still less than 2gb

so 155+40+40=RM235

so the idea is that the RM155 is actually paying for those "free" stuff u get. u are already paying for 667 mins of calls, 400 SMS n so on. if u exceed 667 mins, or exceed 400 SMS or exceed 2gb data, then u'll pay the rates accordingly.

i've asked maxis about this before, but didnt do it myself. supposedly u can. the rates are as follows: http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/mobile/br...earch/index.asp

u can call up maxis for more info. i have no idea how will they count the usage for the monthly passes

nope none of my friends n relatives complain about this. somehow i only see ppl complain abt this in LYN lol

awaiting billshock complaint haha

just get the iphone with ivalue plan. it's the best value.

no need supplementary line anymore. use up the free calls and sms. even if u dont, there's a lot of options to text / call by way of iphone apps. i rarely SMS my gf, just use whatsapp. for calls there's skype or viber

yes you can maintain the same number, and yes ull get separate phone bills

np
