@bearbearhong,
If U make a lot of calls, 333 mins won't be suffice and 15sen p/min call rate is actually v high.  I find that plan really not worth it.  Plus the SMS is only for Maxis to Maxis networks.

And if u ain't contracted and oredi using an iPhone 4 then what's there to complain here ! tongue.gif  Spare us puhhhllleeaaase! biggrin.gif

@Shock,
Just wait lah - if not then just go queue at Maxis on the 27th September or 26th September (at the specific locations)
*
sweetie, no complaint from me, just find this increase of 500mb data and extra 100 free sms to be more attractive then my exisiting i value plan.

me and my wife dont really make lots of calls, but the data of 500mb matters...

did i commented something that i shoudnt? sweat.gif

i dont think so, since they're only letting u to upgrade ur contract. http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/iphone4/contract.asp

even if they do, dont expect good prices. u're better off selling at garage sales

just checked with maxis, to upgrade ur exsiting contract, ur remaining contract must be less then 6 months.

and it is better deal for those who sign up for 24 months , the iphone warranty also extend to 24 months, unlike 3g and 3gs package...

Hey guys

I just got my new iPhone 4 an hour ago. Then I found out some yellowish spot on the LCD screen. So I went back to maxis centre and am waiting to exchange a new set. All this waiting in line is killing me

Hi guys, need some opinion...

My maxis account again been charged exceeded data usage, this time within 3rd day of my bill monthly cycle, they sent me a SMS alerting me usage reaching 400mb+

I am very sure I did not used such volume of data, and been using only whatsapp, browsing Facebook without downloading video or photos.

I would like to know if there is any way that can consume data? Gps Papago? I did use Papago for gps less then 30 mmins...

That is frustrAted, maxis keep insisting it is my usage and worse the account still bound by 6 months contract!

I'm using Papago and Waze almost everyday, I believe both don't consume lots of data especially Papago, it still can work if u switch off the data. Whatsapp may consume lots of data if u received and sent lots of photos and videos and messages. My wife got a shock last months becoz of whatsapp..especially during festive seasons, sending greetings videos and messages to friends and family. 

To study this issue more details:

1) try monitor ur data or apps activities, download ur own data monitor apps.

2) If u hv lots of social media like twitter, facebook, whatsapp, instagram, foursquare, etc working in the background, u may get another shock later. But what the hack to have a smartphone without using those and getting the latest update in time?? That's the dilemma here.

Either you switch to a higher data plan or dicipline urself on the monitoring... switch off all the background apps and it will not only save ur battery and also save ur heart from another "BILL SHOCK" attack..

Cheers and enjoy the i-device..

Thanks bro,I have been using maxis iPhone since iPhone 3G. So far have encounter 3 times of similar scenario where they claimed I hv overused data.

I am a mild fb & watsapp user, and Internet browsing also less then half an hour.

I dun trust their record,and they insist they won't make mistake in capturing data usage of a device..

I dun wan upgrade my existing contract and got bound longer. I will surely leave lousy maxis after 6 months
