Q&A:

Q: What is MEP?
A: Maxis Exclusive Partner.

Q: MEP location?
A: http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/iphone3gs/where1.asp

Q: Is Maxis iPhone 3GS an UNLOCK unit?
A: YES. IS FULLY UNLOCK.

Q: I've just bought a used Maxis iPhone 3G/3GS. What do I need to do when I wanted to send in my phone to Maxis for warranty?
A: To claim warranty you need the person who bought the iPhone which is under his/her name to be present. Requires I/C (of original owner) and warranty card.
*UPDATE: According to a personnel from Machines, having the Warranty Service Card is suffice for warranty purpose.(credits to tinkerbel)

Q: Will a white version be available?
A: No, the white version hasn't been made available by Apple yet, ANYWHERE.

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

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: 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: 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]

Participating banks and installment duration
Maybank (12/24 months)
Citibank (12/24 months)
CIMB (12/24 months)
HSBC (12 months)
Public Bank (12 months)

hmm....Taipan and Subang....which outlet? coz saw the maxis website there are 3 outlets in subang...

Then make sure they got enough stock fot that... So no worry... get at there.

the hunting continued at nite-

just coming back from garden mc.

no luck but what the assistant mention on 18oct onward there will be enough stock and no more reservation all MC after dat date just do first come first serve

Taipan in Subang i mean near the HSBC bank

so there will be enough stock whenever i walk in the maxis center from 18 oct onward? y not 16th oct onward...

cant believe what they "no more reservation", i was always told by maxis and even D telco cs cant make reservation since 1 or 2 weeks ago, but what i saw is there were still few people make reservation with them!

sure not 18th??? hehe

maybe insufficient to fullfill all the ip4 wannabe owners needs!

Oct 18th onwards? only in KLCC and gardens or whole malaysia?

it has always been unlocked. what's so hard about doing a little reading before u ask questions like that? http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/871684

that post was not written for fun only. it's supposed to be a guide for newbies, but sadly ppl like u dont even read it. juz want to get spoonfed only

why would maxis give free apps? so many free apps in the app store already

Yup, confirm Taipan USJ maxis shop takes bookings for the iPhone 4. According to manager thr, should have stock by this week. U can book it but must pay RM 200 for the ivalue prepayment first. The rest, pay when the phone arrives.

Dunno whether the phone will really be available this week or not. If you want to take a chance, can do so. It could just be a way to get more people to sign up via their shop. I believe what they told me (maybe I am just a sucker for these kind of things) and put down the prepayment. When I get it I will update u guys. Cheers

im not really sure is all over MALAYSIA MC

but based on what he said on next week the 3rd shipment coming alrdy and myb enough for customer.

and after 18oct onward no more waiting list or etc..just 1st come 1st serve

which one is btter ?

im loyal maxis user then..if hve contract 10years also i don't mind..

1) buy outright
2) buy using the contract

seems like using contract more cheaper? or is it same or i miscalculating somewhere

definitely cheaper with contracts if you're loyal to maxis, simple

I apology first if my questions are already answered.

I have few concern here:
According to A3, am I eligible to purchase iPhone 4 outright at Maxis without a contract (I'm a Hotlink user)? I wonder your A1, A2, A3 are related or non-related.
If so, to use iPhone 4, will Maxis provide micro sim for me even I'm not signing any iPhone contract?
Please advice, and thank you in advance

i'm a newbie. I would like to ask how fast I can get the phone upon registering at any Maxis branch? Will i get the phone first or they will inform me later after contract is written.

received my phone yesterday. until now ok. just need to off the celullar data.

went to MC with my friend. the Customer Service People dropped my friend's iPhone 4 yesterday.. just imagine the expression on my friend's face yesterday

heard some news maxis restocked already? is it true?

they only give to bookings only

LOL.... im sure he can demand a brand new set with so many eyes around there
