Yippeeee.... I'm officially the onwer of Iphone Killer.... (ie iP4).

Got it from SoHo. I'm the last 32GB subscriber for today.

Log-in time = 2:00pm
Waiting game = 30 minutes.
Registration = 15 minutes.
Checking phone condition = 5 minutes.

There goes my year-end bonus @ RM2490...

p/s : MAYBE, I'm "planning" to sell iP4 coz I just want the RM58/month plan only...No phone can beat my 4.3" HD2/HD7....yet...

Not now. I need to test a few stuff first. If iP4 can 100% replace my HD2, then I will keep iP4.

I also got the antenna gate problem like you. To solve the problem permanently, sell the phone....LOL...j/k

Well, I am in the midst to sell the iP4. Looking for buyers that willing to buy above the market price....LOL...

my serial number is 8704*******

nope. i'm not planning to do so. the scotch tape works so far.

Just received email my first bill. No Shock! Amount is prorated correctly.

Cummulative Calculation For Upfront Payment Plan (iP4 32GB):

Monthly bill (without excessive usage) = RM63 plus 5% tax = RM66.15
Deduct Autobill rebate = RM66.15 - RM5 = RM61.15/month

After 24-months, you pay:
RM61.15 x 24 = RM1467.60

Grand total after 24 months = iP4 32GB + monthly bill = RM2490 + RM1467.60 = RM3957.60

Or,

Monthly bill (without excessive usage plus Autobill rebate) = RM58 plus 5% tax = RM60.90

After 24-months, you pay:
RM60.90 x 24 = RM1461.60

Grand total after 24 months = iP4 32GB + monthly bill = RM2490 + RM1461.60 = RM3951.60

There is confusion on the 5% tax. Wait for the second monthly bill to confirm which it is imposed to. I have received my first month bill. It is as per calculated in the first option.

=================================================

Cummulative Calculation For EPP (iP4 32GB):

Total after 24 month EPP = RM169.90 x 24 = RM4077.60
But remember, there is RM5 rebate for Autobill = 24 x (-RM5) = -RM120

Now the trick for EPP is, the rebate must be activated by the customer as per T&C below:
"Auto Billing rebate of RM5 per month will be reflected in the monthly Postpaid bill if you sign up for Auto Billing at the point of purchase. Auto Billing is not activated automatically for EPP payments and the customer is required to opt-in by law."

Once you have activated the Autobill rebate (just ensure the DiGi Exec activates it for you), the Grand Total after 24 months = RM4077.60 - RM120 = RM3597.60 RM3957.60

There's more. For EPP, your credit limit will be reduced instantly by RM4077.60.
Let's say your CC limit is RM5000/month, the balance for next month once you sign-up for EPP is
= RM5000 - RM4077.60 = RM922.40
Meaning, you can use your current CC balance of RM922.40 for next month expenses. If you use the same CC for other autobill service(s), be extra carefull as this will further add deduction to your CC monthly limit. But, don't worry, the CC limit will increase monthly again by RM169.90 (for 32GB iP4). During my sign-up, I've seen a lot of customer's CC was rejected due to insufficient credit balance. Because you have to ensure your CC balance exceed RM4077.60 (for 32GB iP4). In the end, they go for upfront payment which is RM2490 because there is no more CC left.

=================================================

Conclusion : It does not matter which payment plan you opt for. They are both the same in terms of grand total paid after 24 month period. For me, EPP is better if you have more than one CC. But if you have good cash-flow in your savings account, no harm to go for upfront payment by paying via CC. You have to also ensure other charges (eg. RM3 detailed paper-bill) is disabled during sign-up.

Partly YES! There is "free" iPhone package. The plan has already included the iP4 price. But you have to ensure your CURRENT credit card balance is more than RM3677.76 (if you are signing up for iP4 16GB).

Partly "yes" again. The "value" for iP4 16GB with DiGi is RM2090. But with 36-month plan, the "value" for iP4 with plan is RM3677.76.

No sweat. Just ensure your CURRENT Credit Card balance is more than RM3677.76. If not they will reject your credit card.

Yup. But your CC will be one lump swipe of RM3677.76. If your autobill is activated, you will see RM5 rebate every month for the next 24 months. So, ensure your CURRENT CC balance is more than RM3677.76

Added on October 24, 2010, 5:44 pmAnother classic example. So guys, if you are planning to get the EPP, ensure your CURRENT CC balance is AT LEAST more than RM3677.76

It's supposed to be RM3975.60

That's the issue. For EPP, I'm not sure how's DiGi gonna implement the RM5 autobilling rebate. Either in the Credit Card Statement or in DiGi billing.

to check whether the unit is new or refurbish unit, just check the serial number. the 4th & 5th digit are the week the iphone is made for year 2010.

for my unit, it is made on week 40. since I sign up the plan on mid October, the unit is consider new. the running number as of today should be around 42.

You guys better watch out for the International SMS/'Silent SMS' sent from your iP4. The SMS is sent to number 00447786205094. The charge is 50sen/SMS.

So far I have being charged twice. Once during microSIM activation. The other is mysterious after "FaceTime" usage.

You can check the record at OCS under "Unbilled Transaction" menu.

I did not touch the FaceTime settings since it was activated the first day I activate the microSIM. I did not even change/swap microSIM. This 'Silent SMS' charge is only being imposed if we turn on-off the FaceTime and change microSIM. But, it seems iP4 has intermittently sent the SMS during/after FaceTime mode. This issue is affecting "some" users all over the world no matter what telco they are. Just keep track of your unbilled transaction everyday.

The only way to verify is to make several FaceTimes to check the 50sen SMS charges. If the charge applies after every FaceTime, we need to get clarification from Apple/Digi. Of course, do not touch the FaceTime setting. Let it be "ON" for the rest of iPhone 4's life.

So far, from one forum update (lost the link already), the charge is applied to the first time we use FaceTime. The subsequent FaceTime will not be charged anymore. And yes, I did the FaceTime only ONCE the other day.

That's the dangerous thing about EPP. Once swipe, you can't undo.

unfortunately, EDGE is also a data service. It's slower than 3G.on top of that, if u r using data under EDGE connectivity,the person who calls u will get voicemail notification. in other words, u cannot receive call while usingEDGE data connection.

if u are under iPhone plan, the answer is no. use the data as long or as much as u want. no extra charges like Maxis.

As far as I'm aware, the EPP works like this:

The RM3677.60 is credited to the Credit Card Limit. Let's say, the CC limit is RM8000. After signing-up with iP plan, the new limit will be:
RM8000 - RM3677.60 = RM4322.40. The Operator should NOT charge the RM3677.60 directly to the CC daily cash-flow. That is NOT EPP. The RM3677.60 should be deducted from the CC LIMIT.

Every month, the CC statement will still state the RM153++ . But at the same time, the CC limit is increased by RM153++ for that particular month.
