live chat - come out not the network and my device problem.. so should be nano sim card..
been 24 hours cannot connect to the internet already. but i still can make/receive call and SMS.
*
Tried restarting ur iPhone? Mine was unable to connect to 3G for few hours and then i restarted it to find it back.

Maxis iValue 1/2/3/4 did not include sms to other operators, which make me feel a lil frustrating with a thousand of free sma to maxis network but none to others.

Anyway I read that you guys were saying maxis would not incur pay-per-use charge after exceeding quota? Any reliable source to that? I am using iValue 1 (RM100). Thanks!

WAH it's cheaper and more worthwhile because I use very little of the bundled minutes and sms!! Mine was iValue 1, 24 month. Used the RM200 rebate but it's still more expensive!

QUOTE(yupio @ Jan 15 2013, 01:22 PM)
I don't have the source but I did receive an SMS from Maxis saying for all data plans with 1Gb package and above, once quota reached will be speed throttled but will not incur additional charges.

Just approach any maxis centre or call 123 and they will confirm the same for u.

My bad for not reading properly in the official web. here you go.

anyone know if i can share my current data plan with 2 devices? i mean, use 2 simcards but under 1 number, 1 same plan.
*
The last time I checked with maxis, you can have:
1. Multi-SIM for one number
2. Multi-number for one sim

2 sim cards allow you to enjoy mobile data on 2 devices but there is only one default simcard that will be receiving calls and SMSes.
I think it's RM15/month. And there is some one-off payment to get the sim card as well.

(Source: called up maxis last year for this question.)

how to get unlimited data plan?

All Maxis iValue packages now come with unlimited data but at throttled speed once quota is exceeded.

Guys/gals,

What do you think about the new i5 plan with surfmore 75? 24 months contract and device price for i5 16GB is $1188.

I like being able to surf 5GB but I know my usage is way much much lesser. I don't like being tied with 24 months contract though.
*
If you don't spend so much in calls and SMS, SurfMore 75 should fit as you only pay-per-use.
Unlike the iValue plans with bundled message/calls at higher monthly commitment fees.

For me, I don't mind 5GB at RM75, and since I rarely exceed phone bills at RM30/month, my monthly usage would be roughly like iValue RM100, but with much higher internet quota.

But 5GB.. Can you finish it? :/

I am interested with the maxis new year offer which it offers iphone5 for 1188 with 2 years offer..in the terms and conditions I found that I need to pay rm1000 for the advance payment,so I need to pay 2188 upon singning the contract?
*
I think so.
My plan was iValue with phone price RM1,199 and advanced payment is 500.
So I paid RM1199+500, and the balance RM1 I ask the person to charge it into my first bill tongue.gif
I suppose it goes the same way for you. So that would be 2188, correct.

I wanna know whether or not I can buy an iPhone 5 without a contract and what of the rebate scheme?I've read posts about it a few days ago saying that now people can get ip5 without contract and got rebate of rm200,have to register at the rebate web and so I did. It says that I can redeem it at maxis warisan square sabah but that was a few days ago..I have been googling the web about it but now cant found it. Anyone?I've cleared my web history for some reason and now cant find any info of it..

Like what.. 32kbps?
I saw a post the other day here that it was still as good as 3G after exceeding quota. But some claimed it as 32kbps. I don't know. Currently finding it very difficult to even reach half of my 2GB quota despite youtubes and whatnot.

You need to go to your local centre and ask. I don't think they can do anything also if you unsubscribe later...

And btw, I just got my iPhone 5 from Maxis today, but the weird thing is, why the hell does he need to activate the phone? Can't I do it myself? Or is it a standard procedure for the Maxis staffs to activate the iPhone 5s in the centre?
*
That guy who opened and touched my iPhone before the real owner (me) touched it was more excited than I am LOL. He let me checked the IMEI and tick the "IMEI correct" box, then opened up and started to activate and bla bla. I felt weird but never mind lah, let him. Then he said "we need to activate it for you to setup and ensure it's working" or something. Thought want to be the first hand tho haha. XD

End up, he set my phone to chinese language @@

Hey guys when i change my sim card into micro sim, will maxis let me keep my old sim card & can it still be use???

They don't even bother to take back mine. Immediately my card became "inactive" on the other phone.

Get back to maxis. Obviously a defect unless proven that you made that.

Guys, iValue 1 2gb montly quota enough ? @@

14 days to bill date and I still have 1.2 GB left.
Used it during the night when router is off, and when leaving the house.
Even used it to download apps and update things.

Maybe it's semester break so I stay at home more, hence less data usage. lol.

Erm, if i use it mainly for fb and instagram and of course whatsapp those, u think is enough?

I guess so. Even then you should be able to reach places with free wifi at times. And don't forget we have 4 GB of Maxis Wifi (I don't know how useful, and I have not activated it yet even).

Moderate user should find it enough.

Yea, but the speed is throttled to a stage that i cant bear  doh.gif It is just too slow for me  doh.gif

From what you say you sound like a moderate user.. Should be enough unless you insta like nobody's business every minute then definitely not enough. Else it will do. Just turn off data for downloading iTunes content and updates etc if you're afraid of losing too much via these.

I turned data on for apps download and I still cannot use that much.

Oic, thanks for the clear clarification bro ! Wow, what a good business tactic =.= Used up the 333 mins first before the 1000 mins maxis-maxis call  rclxub.gif
*
Yeah, better make sure. And SMS to only Maxis/Hotlink numbersss.

Found a way to check whether the number belongs to maxis or other telcos. (Free)
Type "Check 0123456789" and send the SMS to 22011.
But hassle...
