According to their website, it depends on how they set up the room, neh?..I'm guessing they would use the U-Shape set up, so that would fit 335 peoples at once, taking all the Maxis staff available on that day into account, probably 250 customers can be in the room at once? XD

By the way, exactly where's the Garden's ballroom? tongue.gif

Maxis to Maxis is one thing. Thats to their own network. To all local calls means to all local telco, which includes Celcom, Maxis, Digi, etc etc etc. IT doesn't include calls to foreign telcos.

Its common for Maxis iValue plans anyway, which is why people opted for Digi plans which offers both free calls and SMSes to all network, as well as unlimited Internet (which are still capped at 1GB for the cheapest plan). But Maxis does offers better coverage, so that's up to the user to decide which telco they want.

Btw, the rates for Maxis iPhone 4 are moved to the "About Contract Upgrade" page.

Since my dad is the principal line owner, I doubt he will be able to wake up and go with me at 12am -.- .... However, I am planning bring all relevant details with me(principal line details etc.) and just attend the event, get the phone with just that...Will my plan work?
*
IMO, the protocol will requires the principal line owner to be there. Why don't you book a more suitable time slot which is convenient for your father to go along with you? It makes much more sense that way... = =

Btw, i haven't receive any SMS from Maxis~

But the free SMS and MMS is only for Maxis to Maxis sad.gif at the end of each month, sure have to fork out extra $$$...

I have a not-so-practical solution. Since they give more free call time to all telco, call instead of SMS to non-maxis. XD

Read his post properly. You cannot get in without an ID. Save us the trouble and save yourself from the trouble.

In short this is what goes on:-

1. Queue outside (near the escalator above GSC Cinema / RedBox Gardens) - there is a person next to a number ticketing machine.
They will check whether you have the confirmation ID & cross ref with your IC. I assume if your name doesn't fit - you might not get in. (I am not confirmed - just assuming!)

2. After checking, you need to fill in a "iPhone 4 Collection Checklist". Someone does it for you. They ask what is your mobile no, name, ic, what plan, 16 or 32GB phone, do you have ic (if not you can use Credit card, driver's license).

3. When you are called in, you go into a small area between the outside and ballroom. I assume only 60 ppl are called in each time.

4. Guess you have to wait to be called into the main ballroom. I can't tell you cos I was the first batch and hardly any waiting. There are 60 counters and they are very friendly and helpful. I think you want to speed up the process - photocopy your ic and make sure you have your confirmation ID and checklist and number in hand or at least ready.

I asked the guy serving me - authorization letter is not accepted unless owner is present because the owner needs to sign contract! This is what the guy who served me said. Please be warned - I am telling what i know. happy.gif

I assume average half an hr per customer if no hiccups. He/She needs to enter details, go thru  the plan once again, swipe CC and check your phone - then out you go!

Owner is signing contract?...But it is the supplementary line that want to use the plan wo. Aren't the supplementary line should sign the contract instead and to be separated from the current principal line?

The bottomline is whose name is the mobile line under. That name person has to be present. I am just sharing what i was told from the counter guy, the number giving person and the checklist paper giving person.
Please note certain type of Maxis users get preference (i think)

Maxis Elite - number starts from 1000
Maxis Select - 2000
Maxis normal or mass - 3000
Rest i don't know - there was like 2 other buttons.

You can definitely buy at least 1 iPhone if you go under contract or you can just buy outright as well. How many I didn't ask but i overhead 2 max.  smile.gif

Okay. Thanks. I'm just worried about the contract signing part. Those users with preference has priority counter?..

Looks like they handle the queue better today. Anyone live reports from the ballroom? tongue.gif

On a side note: Did anyone try asking the peoples in Machines Mid Valley to install screen protector for you? XD

@Joey87,
Yes.. mine was installed by Machines Gardens. But it was done a month ago ; am not sure if they'll do it since there'll be an influx of people going in to make the purchase biggrin.gif

I already purchased mine, they said they'll do it for me if i bring it back with the phone and receipt. Did they install it nicely? biggrin.gif

@tinkerbel

Wonderful! I guess i'll head there now to ask them to install for me. I wouldn't dare to touch my phone for now, it seems so vulnerable to scratches without any protective film on it. I'll drop by at the Gardens and see whats going on there ^^
