My contract for Iphone plan 1GB already up, but the RM100++ bill is quite high for me and I didn't utilized much (except for data where I averagely use about 700mb as I normally lazy to connect to wifi even at home/office as I know I wouldn't reach limit)

http://www.maxis.com.my/internet/

it seems now they have a new plan that comes with data package besides the idata/iphone plan. Thinking of switching to this.

But problem is I'm contemplating the VPI50/80.

Is 250mb sufficient if I on all notifications (except email) ,occasional browsing and fb (quite a lot on this but no video, just read through status and picture browsing)

This post has been edited by Devil4life: Dec 5 2011, 10:56 AM

any unlimited plan?

from maxis?
you wish haha

individual is kinda subjective but in my case, average usage for FB, notifications, whatsapp, web browing and minimal youtube is less than 500MB (normally 400++) a month, the highest recorded was 700-800MB when I did tethering.

anyway, I don't see the VPI50/80 that comes with 250MB of internet usage monthly on Maxis website. it will be good to share on this thread if you can provide me with the link/information?

Click on the link I provided just now. But in case you missed it, this is the link

http://www.maxis.com.my/internet/

Value Plus Internet 80 : 500MB data/300 SMS (to all numbers)/300 mins talktime (to all numbers)

Value Plus Internet 50 : 250MB data/100 SMS (to all numbers)/100 mins talktime (to all numbers)

Value Plus Internet 30 : 250MB data/50 SMS (to all numbers)/50 mins talktime (to all numbers)

Btw, want ask which Maxis Centre open on a Sat?

ADDED : for this plan if exceed the data, it's 30sen per MB only (cheaper)

this thread are back... good !

now waiting for the location, launching place could be either, mid valley-gardens or klcc. hoping for MV area.

I'd prefer klcc, closer to me

i prefer mid valley garden - close to my homie

me2 coz im working at The Garden office tower

To be honest, I don't really care where, I only want 16 december to come early!

Maxis will only launch in KL? what bout other states? They won't be launch same day?

hey all, I am currently a sub line for vp 150.. So can I subscribe to the rm100 plan (let say 4s plan is the same as 4), and still remain the same number? (During the launch day)

This post has been edited by jay2011: Dec 6 2011, 10:21 PM

dear all, kindly refrain from spamming. only rate plans discussion pls. tq

how much maxis will trade in my ip 4 ?

hey all, I will subscribe to the ivalue plan 12 months contract for iphone 4s... Anyone know about the installment plan? how much i will pay for each month, can I do a 24 months installment although I am 12 months contract plan?

It shall depends on your bank. Some offers up to 24 months.

I am currently on a supplementary line and I've registered under my name and phone number instead. If I upgrade to principal before the 16th, would I still be eligible for the purchase using the same booking number? thanks

Yes. Shouldn't be a problem. Few people I known did the same thing for iPhone 4 launch last year.

Maxis is sloooow... Digi already have their rate plans out

http://www.soyacincau.com/2011/12/10/maxis...with-free-data/
is this true?
I'm going to get 2 of it , anyone wanna sell to me here ?

Seems too good to be true..

this post is so quiet like maxis website no news on ip4s plan... haih

There is leaked iPhone 4S Maxis plan here, but still waiting for it officially: http://www.malaysianwireless.com/2011/12/i...phone-4s-plans/

i want to ask the easy payment program is for the phone only or phone + upfront or phone + upfront + total bill ?

noted and shall be updated in #1 post once it's officially up on Maxis website.

EPP is only valid for purchase of phone. Advance payment is to be made upfront/one-off/cash.

thanks for the info...

Added on December 13, 2011, 11:01 amthe free call for maxis ivalue is for all network...only hv free call within family plan ?

if me n my gf also interested to get ip4s...means 2 of us also need to become main line right ? can't entitle for the family plan free calls ???

anyway to get 2 set ip4s and able to enjoy the family free call?

This post has been edited by cheehing: Dec 13 2011, 11:01 AM

free calls to Maxis numbers only. yes both need to be primary line and family plan free calls are not applicable since both lines are under iValue/iData.

not only primary line, you have to be the owner of the line. means the line register under your name.

yes that is true. better make the switch now to avoid complication.

according to cs, you can switch to owner within 24 hours, but you need to pay again for the advance payment, changing owner name means resign the package..

I just did my conversion from supplementary to principal line yesterday.
All details are based on my experience and it seems that different maxis centers have different operational policies. (Another long story which involved running through 2 maxis centers, 3 times...)

The original principal owner has to clear the ENTIRE outstanding balance before the supplementary line can be taken out.

Then, there will also be a RM50 processing fee for the conversion charged to the original principal holder.

After that, depending on the plan chosen by the new principal owner, advance payment is required.

Just sharing so everyone can be prepared and don't get BILLSHOCK + FEESHOCK while doing the conversion.

Side note: I don't understand the processing fee, RM50 seems a bit much but I paid anyway. The lure of the iphone.......

No. sell your phone at Garage Sale.

Installment plan depend on your bank and the amount of purchase for single swipe after 24hours. Do call your bank after 24hours to do installment plan more then 12 months, but all telcos can do 12 months on da spot when purchased

I realized those things as well during ROI but conspicuously, it looks exactly like T&C for iPhone 4. I might be wrong but it could be a copy & paste rather an updated one.

I'm sad that there's no increase in the data limit. What exactly it means with NEW LOCAL data anyway? 1GB for local consumption for ivalue plan has been effective since iPhone 4. Anyone care to elaborate?

During iP4 launch last year, Maxis do accept trade-in. But like any other trade-in programme, you can't expect to get high price

for question in bold, what Maxis meant was the 4GB & above Maxis WiFi data allocation. which gives them the reason to hike the price of 4S from 4 (same capacity) for at least RM60.

http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/iphone4/rates.asp

Lauching price is like that. Wait for 6 months, sure slash one. Question is , can you wait?

These launching prices are to sign up all the early adopters. People who are willing to pay extra to get this product will definitely get it at the premium.

Wait for a few months, the demand will taper, and Maxis will come out with "CNY promotion" , Father's day Promotion, Parents day promotion Extra RM200 off, etc etc. This is to get the fence-sitter to sign up.

All marketting strategy...

Look at Iphone 4 now only RM1050, no need queue can get already. 1 year ago have to line up for few hours and pay RM1390..

Purchase of an iPhone must be accompanied with any of the above rate plans. Maxis reserves the right to rescind some of the privileges of the rate plans should the registered line not be used with the purchased iPhone


so no outright??

Added on December 13, 2011, 1:47 pmso no idata anymore?


This post has been edited by jay2011: Dec 13 2011, 01:47 PM

No Idata, and the phone must be come with contract, no more outright phone sales???I dont und..

Found this.. Means they still working on price?

shall be updating the front page with the official plans soon.

where you found it? malaysianwireless led maxis by the nose... maxis do whatever they said

day by day the info leak bit by bit....tarik my interest lah...

No prepaid plans. I guess the terms and conditions was just not updated since years ago.

Purchase of an iPhone must be accompanied with any of the above rate plans. Maxis reserves the right to rescind some of the privileges of the rate plans should the registered line not be used with the purchased iPhone.

Just to make sure u guys aware....if u move ur SIM to use elsewhere...Maxis could change or penalize u on the package content if they found u not using it with iPhone

This term has been since like, forever. but no need to worry la, there's no way they know which phone you're using

Added on December 13, 2011, 2:31 pmWhich is suck..No thanks Maxis. You have directed one of your loyal customer to port in to the yellow banner

This post has been edited by mmmbop: Dec 13 2011, 02:31 PM

Yup I read that too but so many year I don't think they enforce it. Also don't know how they can track the iPhones using which line.

iphone 4S price is out !
Maxis RM 2050
http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/iphone4/rates.asp

just curious, if Free 200 (on-net) SMS, then how much is per SMS to other network?

0.10 sens per SMS to other networks. the same rate for Maxis to Maxis, if you have exceeded the monthly free SMS quota.

they can if they wanna track your phone imei..haha

what r u referring to?
is it the RRP price of an iphone?

I think the iData plan will be revealed soon. I just viewed the page source code for the http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/iphone4/rates.asp website, and there are references to iData.

Here's a sample of the website code i copied and pasted:


if (str == 1)
{
document.getElementById("ivalue").style.display = "";
document.getElementById("header_ivalue").src = "images/rates/tab_iValue_on.gif";

document.getElementById("idata").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("header_idata").src = "images/rates/tab_iData_off.gif";
}
else
{
document.getElementById("ivalue").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("header_ivalue").src = "images/rates/tab_iValue_off.gif";

document.getElementById("idata").style.display = "";
document.getElementById("header_idata").src = "images/rates/tab_iData_on.gif";
}


Fingers crossed

in fact they are...if u notice thre is sometimes a telco update being ping to the phone....

i not sure how many of u used smartphone long ago...
i already have such ping of telco related update since the day back i used Windows Mobile...
so yes...telco can track...n by all mean...they do hav....jz not enforcing....

But the thing is, their plan shows that the Free 200 SMS per month is ON NET. Means if someone sms outside Maxis network, its not free but chargeable. Correct?

wat is the free 4gb wifi from maxis?

yes, you will get charge separately for the off-net sms....

Maxis WIFI is something like TM hotspot, only thing is if you aware where is Maxis WIFI....

And worst part is nowadays ppl switch carrier and retain their number
For all you know the 012 number is actually DIGI or CELCOM??

I hope more ppl adopt 4S and iOS5 so iMessage is FREE.
Then we save more.

agree. somehow if u change the sim from smartphone to normal cellphone. it will send u auto sms saying that your phone model u r using currently and it is able to support data, etc...

so i guess somehow they can track.

ooo i am still waiting for data plan never like iValue plan. I am Data Spammer!!!!!!

i really looking forward to buy the iphone outright.
is it impossible?
i heard last year iphone 4 launch can buy outright.
i already booked my slot.

Last years outright buy is allowed only if you bought one with contract first. But it will be nice to share your experience if you manage to buy it this coming launch

Regarding this T&C :

Rate Plan Terms & Conditions

1 In accordance to government ruling, port-in customers are not eligible to sign up for the iValue Plans with a 24 month contract.

I'm a DG Smart Plan 48 user currently, just started around September 2011. I'm interested in getting the iValue 100 for the iphone 4s, am I eligible to sign up for the iValue 100 - 24 months ? If not, can I just switch to postpaid of Maxis any day today or tomorrow, then after that apply for the iValue 100 -24 months. Is it possible?

Any one can shed a light ?

Many thanks in advance.

Maxis just revealed their iphone 4S plan!!!

http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/iphone4/rates.asp

I don't understand the Free Wifi : 4GB. WTH does it mean???

yey!
rrp-RM2190

It's a Maxis wifi hotspot, similar to those in Starbucks but with a ridiculously small coverage only.

Last year I tried something I didn't thought I would try. I actually asked one family who happens to be lining up to sign for a plan, to tumpang him and buy one set.
Thankfully he agreed and I managed to buy mine outright. It was @ KLCC back then.

But of course, doing this may make you sound like an @ss, it all depends on how desperately you want the 4S. It's not like out of the hundreds who que up, all are getting 2 units. There's bound to be some that only purchase one.

go check in Maxis forum la....they reply only 1 unit per acc, 2 max per IC, contract only...

how come the price is expensive than last year ?

last year i bought RM1899 32gb 12 months now 4s became 2050 with 12 months contract ?

i need iData plan..!!
hope it will be out soon....

why they dont offer service like digi ip4s,
pay n deliver? or mayb maxis still updating on their website?
hate to queue while u have to work on friday...

Thx!

Now waiting for the third carrier to reveal pricing

is epp available at launch day ?

Yes, it will be available on launch day.

On a side note, latest information from Maxis and various sources have been updated on first page. Do refer to them before posting. Thanks!

I dont think there is any difference from last years ivalue packages.
What is the improvements? maybe i have missed out something.

Is it confirm that it can be purchased outright via Hotlink Plan??

i wonder what happen if my MyKad failed to read during the registration >_<

what is on-net and off-net?

on-net= same network and vice versa

the free 333mins in iValue1, does it apply if I call to numbers using other operators too?

How much do they charge for SMS and calls for offnet?

yes, to all other telco in malaysia.

i currently have an iphone4 plan. i want to get another iphone4s as my supp line. can?

i need iData plan.... Maxis when will reveal their iData plan?
