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

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

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.

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

Not true Maxis recommends to go earlier to queue

Bro queuing up to get the "queue number to buy" is different than queuing to go into the registration hall as I was told. So it is like this queue up to get the queue number earlier even not your slot and lets say your slot is 12am, then 12am go into the registration hall. Without confirmation email you can't get the queue number and can't go into the registration hall.

Yeah queue number to buy. Like go to bank, the machine number 1 go counter 1 . Anyway lining up long hours for sure is gonna happen no way to avoid. As long I get to buy my set is fine . Mine 12 am slot but 5:30 I am going already

Bro read my post again . I got two confirmation email one for 9pm one 12am so I can join both. If you only got confirmation for 12 am then you gotta go for the 12 am one.

You can go and queue earlier but you cannot join and go into the registration hall if that is not your slot.
