i have a simple question that i can't find the answer here...asked before but no one answered hehe

if i purchase an iphone outright somewhere else, to use with my current value 50 plan...can i get the rm50 iData plan? as in i pay rm50 (assuming i dont exceed lah) + idata 30 = rm80 per month...

...or i need to get the rm58 500mb monthly pass Maxis Mobile Package?

as for the iData package... im thinking of trying with idata 30 1st... see enough or not. if not, i wanna upgrade to idata 50. got penalty? the T&C only mention got penalty for downgrading plans, so im not sure about upgrading

cuz no one wants to buy 3gs 16gb now.. ehehehe

juz wait for iphone 4 16gb or the 8gb 3gs. other options available in garage sales

^ i asked this twice no one answer

if what the maxis service person say is true, u can still get the mobile internet package. rm58 for 500mb per month, rm78 for 1.5gb n rm88 for 3gb. another good thing is u can opt for value 30 (idata is only for value 50 n above for principle lines)

oh i see. well i dont have any other suggestion (im guessing the rm8 per day doesnt suit you) so sorry

but ur post convinced me to be patient n wait for the maxis iphone instead, since cant get iData 1. ahh really hope they offer ACPP some day

whoops sorry i've missed ur post. actually i've just asked that same question at a maxis centre a few days ago. for iValue plans ur bill wont be shared. urs is rm100 n ur principal line is rm50... so lets say u use only rm90 but he use rm60... then u'll still pay rm160

desire is <1k now? anyway just saying la...i was seriously considering the desire before, but when i actually played with a unit, the interest just died

remember.. free apps does not equal good apps also, android market not much choice for good games. but i really2 like the widgets

but then i thought even now it's still hard to find a place which still have 3GS in stock?

i remember there was a forumer who posted cheaper alternatives than the rm58/500mb plan... something like rm38 for 250mb, not sure. it wasnt in the brochure though, maybe someone could verify this

hold on a sec... can i ask why are people expecting iphone 4 16gb will be more expensive than 3gs 16gb?

im not aware of any country where ip4 16gb is more expensive than 3gs

no.. i mean, why are people expecting iphone 4 16gb and 32gb RRP to be more than rm2490 and rm2990 respectively?

it's not like they are still selling the 16gb and 32gb 3GS. n of course the 8gb 3GS wont be close to rm2490, rm1990 is more likely

i juz think since US currency going down, then iphone 4 shud be cheaper, like imacs n macbooks. even if it's not getting cheaper, it shouldn't increase.

i went ahead and asked at a maxis centre again today.... still got the 'around september' answer but good news they confirmed that they will release simultaneously nationwide. u know lah, sarawak & sabah always get things slower

maxis centre in miri

ramadhan coming soon... need to be patient.. haha

they do. the hotlink plan doesnt come with a contract. juz buy it, n like nimrod said, throw away the sim n insert ur own but u lose the free 500mb/month data lah

it's just that maxis wont directly say 'outright purchase'

xpresside, nimrod juz said the prices are controlled by apple. no one is saying the prices are the same everywhere

also, it's not that maxis mark up the iphone price for outright purchase. that's the 'default' price, as set by apple. the point of getting a maxis/digi plan is so you can get a cheaper price overall, including ur bills etc

^ that's good news. so far 3 people has reported the same thanks for sharing!

Chromeware, if apple doesnt control the iphone price, who does? even macs have the same prices in every shop in malaysia, no one is selling more or less. they control it so that it wont be too expensive, n not too low-profit either. what maxis n digi does with their plans is to subsidize the purchase (not much compared to aussie lah) so more people can afford it

u're talking about AP set right? u know whats the diff btwn AP set n ori set?

juz get the hotlink plan n throw away the simcard lah juz subscribe value50 plan or something

all the hype for 3G and 3GS didnt make them jack the prices up. and as mentioned a few posts ago, the price are controlled. but then i do think the prices for the plans are more expensive compared to other countries ;p

333 mins is a lot to me haha

Youtube lo.... + tethering

^ i think it was "Q3 2010" not specifically end of september

how can i make sure i can get a unit, after i pre-order? scared on launch day i got class n cannot queue in front of the maxis centre

not only klcc maxis centre.. it'll be a nationwide launch. probably not every single maxis centre la, maybe juz the bigger ones in certain areas. miri only got 1

here we go again~
