Continue from previous thread ...BTW, I thought locking is 2500 posts per thread (125 pages) ?

Maxis website says, if take iData2 or iData3 plan, must accompany with the Value Plan/Plus 50 or higher, for a 12-months contract.

Quoted from Maxis website:



Both iData2* and iData3* got this * sign. I think quite clear. Most likely CS is wrong.

Anyway, it is not iValue 50, but is Value Plus/Plan 50. I check my monthly billing and I'm currently on Value Plan 50.

I suggest if it is not you yourself, then don't waste time for the pre-launch. Wait few more days on next Mon. Else you will get more angry & frustrated at site, with each of the 50 people there, giving 50 different reasons.

Just to share, based on my existing Value Plan 50:

Based on my RM50 per month, I only used up RM20+ , which is inclusive of:
(i) Domestic Local calls to 012/016/019/03 (as in my itemised billing)
(ii) Domestic Data (SMS to 012 and other local operators, e.g. 016)
(iii) International Call (Call from 012 in MY to overseas)
(iv) International Data (SMS from MY to international)
(v) Roaming calls (Call from overseas to MY/overseas number)
(vi) Roaming data (SMS while roaming to MY)



Therefore, I'm not sure if it is the same with the iValue1, 2, 3, 4 plans for the iPhone 4 package ?

Finally I received the email invitation last night

Confirmation ID: MAX12212210xxxx

Location: Gardens Hotel Ballroom
Pick-up date: 25 Sept 2010
Pick-up time: 2pm - 6pm

That is why for those who wants to use authorization letter, etc., frankly I would suggest you not to waste your time as in one of my earlier post. Just rest at home or go somewhere where else.

Even now, different maxis counter and CS give different answers. It will be the same at the launching, as I quoted earlier, 50 different person will give 50 different answers.

Some may come back later to brag about getting it with the authorization letter. Then I would say congratulations to you. Well done.

However, I bet there will be many more come back to throw tantrums in LYN forum about being treated like a kid, rubbish, etc.

My suggestion is, just wait till after 27th or for the owner/principal to come back and goto maxis counter with you.

Please do not assume that I do not wish you guys to fight the iPhone4 with me. It is just my pre-cog sympathy to you guys & girls, and wish not to waste your time there, getting angry and start raising voice/scold the CS, and the supervisor/manager will still give you the answer -> No.

Like someone mention, we have waited >3 months to launch in M'sia. Just wait another 1 week to sort out with your principal line owner/etc.

To add on, for those who are migrating from pre-paid to postpaid, and also those porting from other telco to maxis. Please sort out all of it, and confirm you got the postpaid SIM card and it is working in these few days (Wed/Thu/Fri). Otherwise, again, my frank suggestion is don't waste your time go to The Gardens launch event to do the porting, converting, running here and there to settle the bills, etc.

Again, I would congratulate those who is able to do all of it there.

And for others who would come back and rant here in LYN, there is nothing to rant about. It is simple. Make sure you are fully transfered to post-paid with a working sim, otherwise don't go. Wait next week for full launch.

Yes, my kind suggestion to everyone is to ensure totally finish porting, with a working sim card that can call/sms, to avoid further frustration waiting in euque. If still halfway pending clearance from telco or pending administrative, then may get stuck also to get the iPhone4 at the launching.

Just imagine like bank-in cheque, doesn't mean you can withdraw cash from ATM immediately or the next day. You need to wait 2 days for it to fully clear.

No one says you can or cannot do all of it on the same day. However, just imagine, the launch itself will be crazy/busy with all prospects to sign up for the packages. What do you think those additional work for them to convert prepaid->postpaid or port from other telcos ? Maxis management may on the spot make it exclusive and say, "No, sorry. Here is only for postpaid. If convert, please goto normal maxis service counter. This event is ONLY for postpaid + iPhone4"

How would you feel ? Blood start boiling ? Frust ? Raise voice ? Argue with them ?

What I am suggesting is make life easier for maxis, other people and you, at the event itself. However, it may inconvenient you earlier to settle all those porting.

So, make sure don't hold up the line if the CS says no, ok ? Don't argue like old uncle/auntie making a big commotion for being a datuk or spend thousands every month on maxis bill with hundreds of lines or being linked to AK or know who-and-who.

I'm sure everyone would like the queue to move fast and smooth. Everyone don't want to wait few hours for it. Nor do we want to see people throw tantrums like a lady who didn't get her food or the closed boarding gate (youtube)

Added on September 22, 2010, 6:53 pmWell, for a stubborn person, let it be. Most likely, in the end, the principal line will register to his dad's name. If cannot, then we start recording video of people throwing tantrums, rolling on the floor, and post in youtube.

Yeah, for those attending 10am-2pm, 2pm-6pm sessions, I suggest to get a queue number, then ask the CS politely roughly need to wait how long.

Then go for coffee break/lunch, enjoy first and come back later (but not too late )

Or ask your parents/principal line go shopping/walk around, while you wait. When nearly reach your queue number, make a call and ask them come back.




The Gardens event is mainly for people opting for postpaid and to sign up contract plan. For those not interest to be postpaid+contract, I suggest to get it later after 27th Sep. E.g. you wish to stick with prepaid, or you wish to retain value plan RM30, or you just want to buy the phone outright.

I've been on maxis unlimited data plan for ages (started at RM120/mth many years ago, then only drop to RM99 unlimited, and then change to RM99 3GB now), there is no way I can view my upload/download usage.

It will be very good if Maxis has this feature in the website.

Side track: (hope post not deleted, but just sharing with others)

I've been on DiGi unlimited data plan also GPRS Unlimited Monthly Fees RM99

This is shown in my paper bill every month:


Yes, that is about 109MB, the time before YouTube or FB even existed. I used it mainly for work purpose to download emails using h/p as modem while on the go.

Maxis

Yes you can. I've just finished my contract earlier this year, and I downgrade to RM50 plan. Later going to sign back contract and upgrade back to higher plan cost.

You can either request to change SIM at maxis centre for RM25, or use a SIM cutter to cut your SIM to micro-SIM.

Yes, you can. You will be utilizing the BB data plan for upload/download. The only disadvantage is you are not utilizing the BES/BIS server for email that comes with the BB package.

For me, during the pre-launch, I request for a new micro-SIM and keep my existing SIM. Once the micro-SIM is activated by Maxis, the old SIM will be unusable (i.e. unable to connect to Maxis to make/receive calls/sms).

Only one active SIM per line at any moment (except certain special case, where you can have a data-line-only on another SIM)

No need. Get a SIM adapter. Something like a adapterfor micro-SD card, into a SD card. Or make one yourself based on SIM template (google it).

I guess most of you guys are buying off-right or at range of 2k-2.6k

Why not spend extra 300-400 to upgrade from 16gb to 32gb ? That's an additional of ~15% and you get double the disk space. You guys know iPhone memory is not expandable or plug-in memory cards.

If can't afford additional 300-400, what about the monthly data plan and usage ? WiFi all the time ? Why not get iPod Touch then ?

Just curious
