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.
