wanna ask iValue1

RM1690 phone
RM100 x 12 = RM1200

RM1690 + 1200 = RM2890

so with 12 months contract RM2890 is the total amount need to pay?
*
yes, if you take the 16gb ones. for 32gb, its 3190

but when you pick up the phone, you'd only need to pay the phone price + 2month advance. and the advance will be refunded on your monthly bill statement

klcc rep told me tommorow got stock. but cannot get prepaid one.

one more person confirmed can get prepaid plan at gardens. i guess i'll be there this weekend if they got stock. the only way i'm getting an iphone is through prepaid since my monthly use on calling and sms is below rm 30 per month lol. so no point in getting ivalue or idata plan.

Can anyone confirm it is for pre-order only or for outright purchase too?

well so far klcc took walk-ins, but you need to take the queue number early, then they'll call you when your number is near. don't know about preorder. all i know the rep told me to tommorow got stock.

What exactly happen at Maxis KLCC is that too many people goes there and the staff stop issuing queue number as early as 930AM!

So what happens next is they accept application form from customer and give manual numbering to each application. When queues starts clearing up, they will call the customer to get their ticket for queues. I was told they start calling when the queue get below 15.

Also, because they receive a lot of application, they stop accepting from as early as 1PM. By that time they already have 150 people waiting to be called. They are not limited by their stock, rather than their centre ability to handle around 200-250 iphone customer every day.

So I probed further, it seems like this happens because the delay is caused by some customer changing their plans or phone when they get to the counter. Or when they want to pay by credit card only to found out they have exceeded their CL, so they have to run out to withdraw cash.

But it's really frustrating. It seems like Maxis KLCC will keep on using this first come first serve basis and they won't accept any booking.

Anyways, I heard that it's possible to buy outright without contract from MACHINES. Can someone confirm this?

not sure about machine, but several maxis center (not klcc though) allow customer to do so. they even allow them to get prepaid plan with 500mb free data plan

Sorry i'm a newbie to iphones... is the price for iphone 4 actually cheaper than iphone 3gs? look at the rates :[attachmentid=1809468][attachmentid=1809469]
*
lol ofcourse.... maxis didn't change the price on the website. asked maxis klcc about iphone 3gs, the rep say no more stock lol. guess they haven't decide on the 3gs price, at least not when their hands are full with the eagerly awaiting future iphone 4 buyer. for a reference, iphone 3gs in US dropped usd100 in price after they announce ip4 is up for sale

You can no longer purchase the iPhone 4 using the prepaid package. Only pospaid plans with contract.

If want to buy without contract, only iPhone 3GS is available for their prepaid package.

DO NOT DOUBLE POST !!!!!!!!!!!

did u manage to buy? what time u go? how many people in the morning?

so many people asked for garden updates.

here we go

arrived 9.30 am
rep went out announce they'll take only 30 people for walk-in, and the rest is already booked to customers who register on the launch day.
i am the last person who got lucky to be in the queue for the walk in. so i suggest those who want to go tommorow, u need to be there before 9.30a.m just to be safe.

anyway, the process was the same as almost all maxis center i suppose, they asked you to fill up the form, then ask for your phone number so they can call you when your turn is up. after waited around 7 long hours (of course i spent most of my time window shopping at midvalley lol) ithey called me at 3.15 p.m. and i got my iphone 32gb with prepaid plan and free 500mb data plan for 1 year.


tips

1) go early, as early as you can, since it can greatly reduced your wait time lol
2) existing customer really speed up the process. I suggest if you are not existing customer, please port in before you queue tomorrow or you'll have to wait longer, much longer.
3) keep checking in at the maxis center what was the current queue number. I checked at 1.15 p.m. the queue was at 15, which was half way through, but then they called me at 3.15p.m to collect my iphone, while i am number 30! my point is, their process time vary greatly, so you really can't estimate when you can get the iphone.
4) don't go too far from the maxis center. best place to loiter is at the ground floor, where they have nice couch, or just go to borders, where you can loiter around and read the books there for free lol. reason to stay close is, they usually call several people at once, so if you were there first, u get your iphone first la.
5) yes you can buy the iphone outright, and get it with prepaid, but to speed up the process, get the prepaid pack earlier. the free 500mb data plan availibility is uncertain. Coz when the repm wanted to do it for me, the system reject it and the rep told me couldn't get the free data plan anymore. then after asking the rep to keep trying, the rep finally manage to get it for me. so they might be able to help you or they might not.


thats all i got. hope this will help any of you to get your iphone soon:)


and they don't accept any new prebook as they are saying they wanted to go through will all the previous prebook first.

hey thanks spoon !! but dammit ... you had to wait 7 hours !!

i guess it was worth the wait when you finally received ur baby !!
*
not so bad ah, since i do have the time, and not really wait, i went shopping and then went to borders to do some free readings lol but yeah it was totally worth it, since i wanted iphone 4 with prepaid plan only, and garden is as far as i know, the only maxis center who had no problem selling the iphone with prepaid plan, meaning no contract, free 500mb data plan, and best of all, my existing prepaid plan was youth club lol.


forgot to mention, the rep told me that maxis are no longer accepting new youth club plan. i tried to register new number and get the youth club plan, and that's what they told me. luckily my old number (haven't use since may) still active, so i just requested the new micro sim (cost extra rm25)
