Errr...I don't think smartphone protection by Maxis to be a really good idea. Take notice on Maxis site for it to only cover "Attended Theft" cases. Well, what does this mean? It means the phone got grabbed, out of your hand. Sounds kinda WTF right? Well, there's more WTFness in their T&C for every exclusion you can imagine.

Already discussed in previous thread here. Actually I don't want to make Maxis sounds bad, but this is just plain bad.

Yup, me face same issue. Called Maxis and they said got network upgrade. Even menu for quota check can't use.

Well, my speed got fluctuate today, hovering around half Mbps to 6Mbps. btw Maxis said the issue should resolve already, but then I still can access data balance through menu.

Actually it works like this:
- First it will use up 333 minutes for call to any local Telco.
- After that, the extra 1000 minutes is only for Maxis-to-Maxis calls.

Why that matters:
- Take example of you using the first 333 minutes for Maxis-to-Maxis calls, and the next day you're using up 333 minutes of calls for Maxis-to-others. You'll be charged ala-carte price for those out-of-network calls, albeit you're using the same amount of minutes. It's something like first come first serve.

Now I pening with Maxis already

Last time asked them, they said different thing. Gonna check with them again.

Thanks for the heads up. Good news.

Yup, you have to pay RM2079 + RM100 (Advance fee). That RM100 will be used to deduct your first 5 month's bill.

And remember that there's GST of 6% imposed to the total amount of your bill.

As per Option A, is the 5GB data your main priority? Also, are you currently subscribing a postpaid plan from any telco?

Still, you need to top up another RM1000 for advance fee (of which will be credited back to your bill). So you still have to to shell more than 2k initially.

The more suitable way to see it is that you're getting first year of internet subscription F.O.C. So if you intend on maximising the 5GB for your devices then it's absolutely a good buy.

Mine's also 2 months old, and a week ago suddenly got call from Maxis telemarketer selling me the plan. So I think you can still subscribe to it, just call them.

Btw I'm not really keen on purchasing such plan, so I don't subscribe it.

Well, some time after subscibed to the iValue plan, got call from Maxis and they're offering 2 Value Extra plan FOC for the first month (which is a pretty standard fare for every new subscription). Not subscribing to it btw since it's no use to me.

So it seems that you can subscribe to Extra Ten (1/8 cent per SMS/calls) with iValue plans. Better call Maxis themselves to make sure.

iValue Simple is selectable on its Online Store page, albeit not highlighted on the device page.

Well, one thing for sure, you won't get your replacement on the spot. Waiting time is around 2 weeks, add another week if you're just sending it to a Maxis reseller not the Maxis Centre (some of them ships to Maxis on weekly basis, depending on size).

Your unit will be exchanged with either a refurb or new unit, also partly depends on the cosmetic outlook of your current iPhone. Refurb or brand new, it will come in a sealed plastic pack containing only the phone (no box). So the only way to check either it's brand new or not is by checking its serial/IMEI.

At first, they said that it's already closed. But then, they've opened it back with registration directly from telcos (no more filling forms prior). And now it's based on "first come first served" basis,

But then, dunno if they've already filled their quota. Better check at telco stores.

Well, you can just unsubscribe the addons that you don't really need.

Most of Maxis users are approached by them via phone to bolt-on those so-called "Extras" plans, so that depends either you're gonna save more on not based on your usage.

Another thing to take notice, itemised billing by most telcos gonna costs extra. On Maxis, just ask them to be have the bill delivered electronically. Same itemised bills,without the extra cost. You can just print them in case you need to do some claims or even for tax rebates.

So I'd say you got nothing to worry since your usage is all listed down with the itemised billing.
