Guys, for those who are bored of Maxis & DiGi not selling as OutRight Purchase. I got a solution for you guys. Cause I've been ignored to purchase from those Operators, telling me to sign up contract to buy iPhone 5 when i already had a contract with them.

I bought my iPhone 5 from http://store.apple.com/my

Price : Out Right Purchase Retail price.
Shipping fee : Anything above RM 250 is free shipping.
Duration : Roughly 4 working days
Shipping Method : Standard shipping via DHL
Shipment Origin : Singapore
Payment method : only credit card

I've ordered one unit iPhone 5 Black Slate 32GB + Additional Lighting Cable for RM 69. Total payment is RM 2568.00. Ordered 8th Jan 2013 around 9am. By 3:30pm, they had shipped via DHL. On 9th Jan 2013, it has reach KL for clearance. And now it's on its way to delivery. Signature required upon arrival.

coz i wish to sign maxis plan , my current contract is expired and wish to renew .... maxis set really got problem ar? = =

I already on maxis iData 3 plan. Yet I no plans to renew plans too. What contract package you're in?

After hearing maxis customer have to sign agreement of accepting the phone before opening the box is too scary. Worst part, they don't allow outright purchase and even have to wait 2 weeks for it. All those bullshit stuff like pre booking. I just ordered from store.apple.com/my with ever ready stock. Imagine, just 3 working days. How awesome is that be.

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? :/

5GB is not sufficient for me.

I just finish 20GB in one night. 21mbps speed tested too much for me to handle. I use bitcomet torrent, got around 2.2mb/sec

Rarely using my lousy streamyx 4mbps.

It seems that Maxis set having big issue.

I've encounter two iPhone 5 16GB Maxis set suffering from sudden no 3G signal. Even using airplane mode doesnt help to revive 3G signal.

Only option is to switch off and on back the phone.

This problem didn't exist in Apple Store units.

I thought so as myself and many maxis users are facing this issue. Turns out that folks on other carriers are, as well. To make it worst, if you check out the Apple support forums it looks like its happening many other people on other networks worldwide. It's an iPhone 5 issue maybe? 4/4S does not seem to have such issues.

I'm using Maxis postpaid but the phone is from Apple Store. Doesn't face this problem.

Now i have one problem, i cant check my Data usage on maxis " *136*9# "
