You wont entitle for any rebates if you buy separately.

Reason we buy from Maxis Center is because we get cheaper phone price by signing their iValue contract.

oh, so that means we still can sign up for iValue plans? reason i'm asking is i'm getting 64gb but all the maxis stores i go to run out of the model. hmmm....

I gave up on Maxis CS since ages. Rather walk into the outlet and nag.

At least then they can't give me any lame excuse laugh.gif

I often barge in to the one at KLCC.

Coz my fren works upstairs, I can go up and wait till they are free if they pissed me off. How also they need to serve me in the end  laugh.gif

Yea, KLCC still got stock for 16gb black?

Planning to raid another one.

Just called 123 this evening and ask about the 400++ bucks unbilled usage amount, he told me my amount is only 7 bucks. He told me there's some system fraud. I log in and checked just now it was 7 bucks.

Let me put this time line right:

2012/12/21: signed up iValue Simple 1GB Plan with iPhone package

*bill cycle: 5th? 7th? of the month?
if 5th: meaning to say 21st to 5th will be approx 16 days, prorated will be 16 of 30 days = 53% of 1GB = 530mb allocated till 5th of Jan 2013
if 7th: meaning to say 21st to 7th will be approx 18 days, prorated will be 18 of 30 days = 60% of 1GB = 600mb allocated till 7th of Jan 2013

2012/01/02: received maxis sms saying u used up 80% of prorated data

*this sms tells you that you have used up 80% of:
if 5th is the cycle date: 530mb i.e. you have used 424mb, and you have 530-424mb = 106mb left of free data to use.

if 7th is the cycle date: 600mb i.e. you have used 480mb, and you have 600-480mb = 120mb left of free data to use.

Now here's the thing: if maxis tells you that you have 100mbs left it's probably true.

I assume it's maxis tell you. if it's 100mb you 'assume' you have, which i think you probably monitor it using the general settings within iPhone, maybe you assumed u have 1GB of data till 5th or 7th? then you probably would have used up 800++MB of data.

that's why the unbilled amount reflects the excess data you have used up. better check with Maxis. Tell them you don't know. maybe can appeal to waive it this time. hehe

i experienced this once. got charged a lot of money for excess data. now the safest is i pay for the biggest data plan. at least i know i won't blow the quota.

I hope this answers? smile.gif
