@jayy79 what do you think?

Rebate over 5 months means the advanced payment will be divided equally to pay your future 5 months bills. So you pay RM2079 + RM100 at the counter for the first time.

The next bill will be prorated to your official bill date (e.g. your bill date is 10 Feb, so the first bill will come as 3 Feb to 10 Feb, which is 7 days. Amount to pay is RM50/30days*7days), and this will not be covered in the advanced bill payment.

The next complete one month cycle of the bill (i.e. 11 Feb to 11 March), will be RM50 + service charge (6%?). But since you paid RM100 for 5 months (or RM20 for a month), you "payable amount" will be RM50-RM20=RM30 for the rest of 5 months. However you need to ensure that your previous bill has been cleared to be eligible to receive then RM20 rebate for your coming bill.

EDIT: If you exceed the internet quota, no hidden fees will be charged but the speed will be awfully throttled. This applies to all iValue plans but not the non-iValue plans from I can see.

I think there is a quota for the calls..

1000 min or something like that? I think it's different from plan to plan you're subscribing to. Maybe can call 100 and ask.

I signed up for iValue 1 with full cash - phone and advanced payment.

So,
1. If you check the latest Maxis Website, your iValue 3 is RM250/month with RM449 device price but RM1500 advanced payment... So it should be RM1500 + RM449 = RM1949.
2. I saw the guy beside me paid with credit card, in full. They have the facilities to accept credit cards.
3. As above.

I just got my first bill today. No shock. Only paying 40 cents extra for texting non-maxis numbers.

YAHHH so nice right! cheaper than after rebate RM200 :0

First bill is prorated from date of purchase till your bill date, e.g. 15/2and is not eligible for RM100 rebate. The next bill with full 30-day cycle will get the RM100 rebate.

A mistake there. For iValue 1, you're entitled to 333 min of calls to all network operators, and 1000 min to maxis numbers. But SMS, yes, only to maxis numbers.

You will see some sorta figures building up until the bill date. But it will be deducted in the monthly bill. Rather meaningless to see that I'd say.

I got my bill and my internet usage before rebate is RM16,*** for 1.6GB. LOL so exaggerative!!

If you see negative sign, it means you over paid the amount. In this case your first RM100 has already been given back into the bill, hence your deposit became RM400.

RM-102.36 means you have extra balance left in your account. If the next month bill comes at RM101 for example, you will see RM-1.36. However in your case the deposit has not been returned fully to you, another RM100 will be credited to you, making it RM-101.36; i hope you understand my explanation.

Rule of thumb: negative sign = over paid, or simple said, no need to pay.

EDIT: you signed the bill on Feb or Jan? Typo?

The technology does exist, but i don't know why they are not being implemented here.

The guy told me there will be cheaper rates offered to those who subscribed, i.e. cheaper repair/replace. And water damage too if not mistaken.
That guy told me RM38/month.

It's a "Promotion", if you sign up now it's RM50/month.

Supposingly they wouldn't allow it after the phone leaves the shop.

But maybe try calling the telemarket like above said.

If you really are prone to lose your phone within these few months, or damaged the screen (choi!) then it's a good investment. Since you can stop subscribing it anytime.
But two months already.. Hmm.. Don't know. :/

Reduced speed. No extra charge for iValue plans.

If there is a contract, then penalty is chargeable. Else, you're free to go.

I think multisim is supported for all users. I myself inquired this at 123 for my personal line use.
Having said that, data can only be enabled for one simcard according to the operator. So I might be talking about a different plan from yours.


I can't seem to select iValue Simple from their website anymore. Was that suppose to be a limited offer thingy?
