I am not sure. So far I know if the user is one club member, no adv payment is required.

If you are a new subscriber, you may need to ask Maxis officials.

My understanding of the chart above is that :
If you are eyeing a 16GB iphone 5S & not a ONE CLUB member , you will need to pay upfront 1899 plus 700 = RM2599 . Last year i pay only 2200 upfront for iphone 5.
This year i will skip.

When I book my unit via maxis one club invitation this morning, all plans with 32gb and 64gb gold iphone 5s all sold out. I'm pretty sure much of the gold units had been offered to corporate customers and Elite Maxis one club members (>RM500 per month usage) .

pm.

anybody who is not a maxis customer manage to book an iphone 5s? .

I registered with maxis that I am interested with ip5s but I am celcom customer (will port over to maxis if they offer me ip5s). so far, I get nothing from maxis.

Just asking if I miss the boat. .

Thanks.

Yup the upfront payment a little too steep this time. I think better to just get like SurfMore 50 plan and then purchase an iPhone without contract (for the light users).

Just read that email.. tried to order but all colors sold out

After much calculation I think its better to buy from apple store which opens for sale on 31 oct. although the phone price is RM200 higher than its siblings

I never buy any maxis phone or device plan...but as the maxis staff said before...any existing pospaid customer more than 1 year if buy package from maxis no upfront payment required...

any info on when will the stock stabilizes?

not true. last year wife had a iphone plan on digi but a normal talk plan on maxis. When she canceled digi and took a iphone plan with maxis...she had to pay the upfront as she wasnt a MOC.

but then again the staffs in maxis seems to always misquote and really seems like everybody giving different feedback on the line/floor with them.

I also with Maxis Postpaid since Nokia N93 time. For sure that is more than 1 year? I still pay upfront payment for my IPhone 4S & IPhone 5. So, only ONE CLUB members get to skip upfront payment .

I'm MOC and they sent me mail days ago. No upfront payment needed. But i never buy on contract, at the end of the day i want better control. The savings is 20% but over 12 months which is not very much.

Maxis have not given a genuine good offer before but their LTE & overall line is not bad. Some of their new packages they don't even bother to tell me. Celcom on the other hand has given me 2 times waiver on bills which is why i have kept another Celcom line for over 15 years. This is why i never go on contract with Maxis and whenever i can i would like to scam them back. BTW my line charges were >$500/month. Since then i have split the lines to Celcom & Maxis. I hope some Maxis hot shot is reading this.

Im not sure about iphone plan...last month i ask the maxis staff in alor setar about note 3 package...he said i can skip the upfront payment because used postpaid over one year...i only 5 years subscribed to maxis postpaid and not moc members...

There are less immediate demand and wide availability for Samsung Phones so even though Note 3 is the flagship Maxis still have excess stock so they will allow no upfront payment. For IPhone they know only telcos and Apple re-seller has them and telcos have the majority of the stock. With only 10000 for 3 telcos (see a few posts up in this thread) no wonder they kick up the upfront payment .

Ohhh i see...like that arrr...i thought all kind of phones same procedure on subscribing the plan...

my wife been a maxis customer for the last 15 years postpaid. It was only for that two years when the company gave her digi iphone etc plan she downgraded her maxis to talk 50 and kept as backup.

No upfront for moc.

Pay rm1899 only.

looks like i will never get it from maxis then.

Maxis charging me rm25 for sim replacement! Is this common or i being overcharge? Celcom only rm5!
