As requested, here's the temporary thread for those who are going to the Maxis IPhone 4 launch tonite in The Gardens.

Please update us with more infos, pictures etc but..keep the spam to the minimum.

Q&A These are infos provided by forumers. Please PM them for more infos. Thank you

Q: Can i bring a friend along?
A: Yes you can. You can bring in a guest with you.

Q: i forgot to print out the confirmation email? How?
A: Confirmation ID can be printed and they can do that for you on the spot.

Q: Any free bumper case from Maxis?
A: No free bumper cases available. They are not giving out the bumper case @ the launch but u still can apply thru the Official Apple site. More info here: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1509871

Q: do i need to register or something? or i can just go there?
A: i believe u need to have ur confirmation id but you can go there to spectate.

Q: can any1 confirm that u can get 2nd Iphone 4 off the contract (RRP) if u purchase 1st set with contract.
A: Yes you can. Just met a fellow forummer, he is the first 60 who got the phone. He also bought an additional phone outright.

Q: what if i have da confirmation id but im not going due to some personal reason n yet i asked my frens to go on behalf on me?? is it acceptable?
A: cannot i think. Just now i asked the maxis ppl at midvalley. He said u have to be there urself.

Q: Do they provide micro sim?
A1: No need to pay for Micro sim and you can get it there and then. Maxis will give you the MICRO SIM when you purchase the iPhone - FOC.[credit bontaku]
A2: microsim is given free of charge..[credit kenji82]

Q: buying iphone 4 outright..Could u tell us more details regarding it?
A1: Get into a contract - doesn't matter what plan - you get iphone from that contract.
You can then ADD JUST the iPhone 4 (doesn't matter what size). In total - one iPhone with contract and one without (please keep in mind - no sim lock) [credit bontaku]
A2: Bought my iphone 4 outright with no problem as long ur using ivalue plan [credit Freshie_Foo]
A3: To buy outright purchases, just go to the counter when it's ur turn and tell them u want to purchase outright. [credit tinkerbel]

Q: Can you leave the ballroom and come back later after getting the ticket?
A: I wasn't allow to go out when i was there. If i do, I hard to queue up again even tho i got the ticket number. I think you better ask the security guard or the lady at the ticket machine. [credit bontaku]

Q: What IOS 4 does it come with?
A: Maxis sets came with 4.0.2[credit teikwing]

Q: Installment plan? How?
A: The Visa/Master CR Card merchant is only for Citibank, HSBC, Public bank, Maybank and CIMB Bank on installment plans.

Example, If you purchase ip4 32GB on Ivalue 1 X 12 months contract = RM1990

Ivalue 1 : RM400 for 24 months and RM200 for 12months <--advance payment
ivalue 2 :RM620 for 24 months and RM200 for 12 months
ivalue 3 : RM1250 for 24 months and RM500 for 12 months
ivalue 4: RM2000 for 24 month, RM1000 for 12 months

This so called advance payment is either Swap your credit card which is not under installement plans, however there is a rebate RM40 X 5 months = RM200 which is credit back in your bill.
Basically the advanced payment will be credited equally over in 1st 5 months of your bill. [credit weileong]

Q: Can trade-in old phones?
A: Yes you can. Any phone, as said by one of the Maxis representatives.



How much can we trade-in our phone? Go find out, we are not Maxis representatives. [credit objectiveme]

Take Note: This is not a discussion thread. Please refer to the discussion thread here: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1570287

What to do:

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.

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! [credit bontaku]

This post has been edited by Freshie: Sep 23 2010, 07:11 PM

I wonder how are we gonna identify each other? Hmm...

Guys, if you can, just don't post "I'll be there". Atleast give us more info if you're buying the iPhone or just going there to join the party.

Also, make a meeting point to meet up. Suggestion, starbucks or some location where u can all meetup, the shirt u are wearing etc.

One of you could just pass your phone number and everyone can contact that person. That's how we meet up everytime we have a TT (teh tarik) meetup session.

Hope the line won't be long. Should be getting there around 10 or 11

wow ...got 30 ppl already n i believe still increasing ....

so after u get the ticket u can go walk around or still need to be in queue ?

I'm updating this thread on who is going to the venue at what time/day etc. If you do find those who are going with you at the same time/day, you can PM them to meet up.

Thanks.

Ohh I need the tickets ~ have to drop by my office later to pick up something before I go.

then when i go there for my slot time still got stock for me or not?
hahah
thanks swee5420

For those of you who are meeting up tonite, someone need to be the contact person. By saying what you wear is hard to know who you are or to even identify you.

A contact number is the best. So whose the contact person for tonites event?

Wow... Really queuing so early here... Here kinda small...

But I'm sure staff more than customer

ill be there tomorrow too for 6-10pm session but dont know yet what time ill be arriving. will shoot straight from the office after 6pm.

wah, so early start to que & giving ticket..lolz...so wont arrive there too late...how to recognize the forummer there ? a big group ?

Am I missing something? What tickets?

Here got my fm, hitz fm,

U can print ur confirmation slip here

But no wifi

The queue isn't that long but about 20 or less. Hope everything go smoothly and quickly!!!

is the booking email which states all d details necessary? or can we just waltz in with the sms which has our booking no.?

Haha just interviewed by hitz fm

To those are queuing already, are you gonna use the queue number when you purchase your phone or its just for the pre-launch event seat?

If I reach around 11pm which is behind, lets say 700 person, does it mean that I'll be behind 700 persons to purchase the phone?

i'm going on saturday 10am to 2pm slot. hehe

Do I really need to print the slip out? I was planning to just show it to them off my phone.

Wat the staff told me tat today can get ur
Phone...

And 9 can collect already... 12 just launch but 9 can get ur phone

Already queueing now.. Some 10+ ahead of me.. They'll be giving queue no as we head in at 9.. Anyone here?

Really?! Great news!

One more... 1 ppl able to get two phone... And u can straight buy without
Contract...

Mean u no need sign any plan also can get the phone...

will there be enough stock of the phone for everyone? for today and tomorrow?

Yes, there will. You've booked a unit. I think they respect your bookings enough to not give them out.

I'll be in a black shirt and jeans and toting a nikon dslr

They told me no worry and sure have but I kinda
Doubt tat... Cause I ask how many phone for today and he stunned a while...

Btw if who wanna get iPhone without contract... Pls call me... Only 2 available but of course I charge little bit... Paiseh

Show off!

Thinking of the same thing as well. Might as well supporting the campaign to preserve the environment in not printing things?

@TS

Thanks for updating the names.

if i did not book for it, then how? must wait for next week to purchase?

hey guys if u guys get the phone plz lst us know ><

any lowyatian selling screen protector at the garden? this saturday. hehe

Yeah, bro. Exactly what I was thinking......

If you didn't book, then you won't be able to purchase. You'll have to wait for the 26th to purchase at Maxis centers.

mine is tomorrow 6-10pm. anyone else same time?

im going tomorrow after office. too bad i finished work at 7pm. will try b there by 8pm

anyone else going tomorrow? 6-10pm session pls

really hope they will really give the phones to us who BOOKED!

Crowd getting larger... 8tv interviewing ppl but not me...

Line sux here with Digi...

I thought will be any cartoon or fancy girl promoting... Kinda disappointed

I heard there are shot 15000 units. Not sure how true.
Apparently you can buy it outright (just the phone) from today without needing to buy contract. Not sure until we get to the counter. I asked one of the staff who was filling an iPhone confirmation slip(at the queue), she said you might have trouble if owner of the number isn't here cos that person needs to sign the contract.

I have appointment too, but won't be going . Financially constrained (by mrs unfortunately) So there will be at least one spare 32G iPhone 4 available. Wish there was some way I could transfer the appointment.

i will be there on 25-Sept 2pm.
Hope i still able to get 32GB iphone4 at that time

15,000 is the number of iPhones Maxis brought in for this batch, not just for this midnight launch.
