The current promos running for Maxis One Club is only for the iPad, iPad Mini and Blackberry Z10.

Maxis One Club promo period for iPhone 5 is long over so no, no privileges whatsoever.

Maxis staff told me that they will give us new set but some of our forumers here have received refurbished set. If you're lucky you might be getting a new set for replacement. :|

Doesn't matter la even if it is refurbished, as long it looks brand new, feels brand new and it works.

Even if it is refurbished how old can the phone be. Even the oldest iPhone 5 in the market in the world is not even 9 months old what more a Malaysian set.

Its not like iPhone 5 has been in the market for 2 - 3 years.

If it really matters to you then just get a third party to repair your existing phone. Minor parts or problems can be replaced or fixed at a very cheap price. One or two of forummers on here offer really good iPhone repair services which I myself can vouch for.

Otherwise just live with it.

I want 5s but dont want contract

Been to the previous few launches.

You can get it contract free provided you have an existing Maxis postpaid plan. But only limited to 1 or 2 units per number can't exactly remember.

Do note no device discounts if you choose to do so, gotta pay full RRP as opposed to a few hundred off if you sign up a contract with them.

guys just wondering i jus sign up 2 yrs plan for iphone 5 on january 27 this year. if i want to get the 5s with 1 yr plan for a cheaper price can be extended to my previous plan? So technically my contract expires january 27 2016 with the 5s
*
Not possible, last I remember the maximum amount of months left on your contract to extend is 5 months. If your contract still has more than 5 months to go you can't extend.

Either you get someone to take the line and you take the phone or you sign another contract for a new number.

Otherwise you can still buy the phone itself for full RRP since you are already on a Maxis iPhone postpaid plan.

Hey man my bad actually the maximum months of your contract remaining + number of months extension < 30 months then yes, you can extend.

Its on the first post.

so means if you signed on January 27 by the time its October 31 it will be:

(24 - 9) + 12 = 27 months.

So yes you can get an extension.

apple selling iphone 5s (16GB) same price like iphone 5 at 649usd (sim free without contract) or 199usd with contract.
means the RRP will about RM2199.

check this

True the price has not changed in the US but places like Australia and Singapore have seen a rise in price.

I don't see Malaysia as an exception here. I'm expecting a slight increase in rrp, like 100-200.

Malaysia dont have tax for phone. I expect 5s will be 2199. 5c will be 1799 while 5 1999.
*
So means taxes in Singapore and Australia has been increased hence the price increase? I'm pretty sure they had taxes for the iPhone 5 as well last year. Either they have increased the tax this year or the device has been sold at a more expensive price.

The 5 has been discontinued. Replaced by the 5C.

I just called up Maxis to check on my contract and also asked about contract extensions.

Apparently if your contract has more than 3 months remaining you will NOT be able to extend for the iPhone 5S.

You will have to get a new line or get someone to take the line and you take the phone.

The 30 month thing doesn't exist anymore.

Looks like they will be reserving. Someone asked on Maxis official FB Page and Maxis responded:

Hi Maxis, I booked my phone and collection at Gardens Maxis Centre on 31st Oct, may I know how you going to distribute the phone? need to queue in line and wait until 12am, or number will distribute to customer, then come back later? I wish im not going to wait until 4am only can get the phone, and i believe you do not want to be so troublesome as well.

And there is the T&C regarding the booking is "device is subjected to availability"?? mean my booking not confirm? I do not want to wait there then tell me my model not available.

Pls advice and thanks!


QUOTE
Maxis Hi ff you have received your confirmation email, the device will be booked for you at the chosen centre on your date of selection. Gardens is open 10am-10pm. There will be no number distribution from midnight. Hope that clarifies. TQ

I will collect my iphone 5S gold 32G x 3 and iphone 5S silver 32G x 2 tomorrow at Taman Segar, Cheras.  Anyone interested?  I want the plans only and sell the phones.

The contracts are 2 years so I think the warranty is also 2 years.

I am selling 3.5k each.

Dont ask me to PM you best price or whatever, PM me to deal, thanks.  First come first serve.

2 years contract also warranty will still only be one year. After one year if you send back for warranty they will charge you accordingly iirc
