I just called BS, they confirm my model but said currently no stock for ip6 64gb grey!. Only got gold. The 16 BG all got stock. Have to wait for apple to update stock... sad.gif

Latest estimate update for pre-order delivery is 13-14 Nov next Thu doh.gif for models like iP6+ 64GB space gray.
I believe this model for pre-order, run out of stock for other team/event and waiting next batch delivery from Apple.

I bought an iPhone 5S last year in mid Nov via Maxis with 1 year contract. After mid Nov when my contract expires, can I purchase another iPhone 6 at contract price if I wanna opt for another year of contract?

No, you can't rolleyes.gif Better switch to other telco like DiGi, Celcom, etc. thumbup.gif

Maybe we should start an online petition by asking Maxis to compensate those affected due to Maxis server glitches, maybe we can ask for a free Case?????

I don't mind and will support/join your cause. Slightly later than your order, 7am+. They call and "claim" my set should be deliver at 13th/14th Nov, another week to wait. grumble.gif
But do you think Maxis care ?

Well ... they do care. Still dare to ask my response ? shakehead.gif

Take my current phone, iPhone 5 (not S) 32GB bought 2 years ago contract for ~RM1,499
Today I don't know market price. RM900 any takers ?
Means for the past 2 years, I only paid RM600. i.e. RM25/mth worth it or not for the device ?

Apple strategy of selling 16gb by not sending stocks of 64gb and 128 gb. Desperate people may just fall for that trap
*
I guess sales & marketing for Apple or Maxis/telcos, whether local marketing or overseas regional staff, mistakenly assume the purchasing power in Malaysia. They thought due to price gap, there will be more demand for cheaper and lower 16GB models.

They thought 3k+ for 64GB, unlikely will have buyers, since 2k+ is already expensive.

Unknown to them, even with subsidy reduction and price of goods/consumables increasing, people are still spending without any effects. Traffic jams are still as crazy as ever. iPhone demands are still as high every year.

Anyone here or your friends received 64 plus space gray pre ordered??? I have a feeling this model was long out of stock before 3am 31st. Those ordered after probably on second batch already. Please tell me this is not true.

QUOTE(seancorr @ Nov 9 2014, 09:52 AM)
Yeah it was a stupid idea for them to ask the owner to wait whole day for the phone.

I just got my friend's ID and his is MOS14220XX ordered on the 3RD OF NOVEMBER which is scheduled for delivery on the 12th of December and he got his on the 7th of November. Really wtf man and I'm still waiting for mine with an order ID of MOS13792XX which is way in front in queue.

Looks like Maxis is randomly delivering phones to customers regardless your order time!!  vmad.gif  vmad.gif  vmad.gif

QUOTE(Moonflown @ Nov 9 2014, 10:38 AM)
Dude you need to calm down and think logically. Delivery is totally up to the logistics where they determine the optimal delivery schedule for pre-order phones and hence you will only get an estimated date. Heck, even Amazon pre-orders are randomized.

Its kinda sad when you see so many people got so frustrated just because of a "first world problem - eg. not getting phones earlier" as life is so much more than an iPhone. And no, I have not got mine despite ordering on 31st and I enjoy the anticipation of my phone.

If you follow the entire thread, this is the summary of how it works:
1) Order through MOS/Maxis, confirm payment.
2) Then MOS/Maxis release order to Brightstar, for packing.
3) Then only delivery by BS/GDex.
4) Customer receive package.

The issue is seancorr made full payment, but his MOS is still not in BS system. i.e. Maxis has not release the order yet and still at step #1
However, his friend who order much later, already went through until step #4.

I agree final delivery at step #3 may varies, maybe by 1-2 days max. But for the order to process (#1) and fall into #2 system, shouldn't it be in proper sorting order ?

QUOTE(Moonflown @ Nov 10 2014, 11:09 AM)
I assume BS will receive a large batch of orders on first few days. They would then coordinate with GDex on their delivery logistics as Maxis definitely told them the 7 working days window so they just need to make sure everything gets delivered by then. The actual sorting will definitely based on geographical than sequence.

Just my humble assumption smile.gif
*
Read my earlier post again. Maxis has not send the order to BS to process. The MOS number does not exist in BS system for tracking yet.

It's quite clear MOS runs out of iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Space Gray since 31st 3am order. Apple is sending next batch this week, and MOS will send the order to BS by Wed/Thu. BS will sort the delivery and send out by Thu/Fri.

Yet, MOS/Maxis PR, sales, marketing and communication did not inform customers with up to date info and correct manner.

Just get my phone. I use back my old number and I did request for a new nano sim. I called 123 and the cd told me that since I use back my number I no need call to activate my new plan as it will automatically renew to ny new plan and I can just use my old nano sim. Anyone encounter the same?

Here is my new ip6+ space gray 128g

Me. Although I'm content to receive my iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Space Gray already, below is the list of screw ups:

1) Ordered 31st Oct, nothing shipped on 6th Nov (I got print screen)

2) Not going to repeat the sh1t between 6th Nov until 10th Nov. Read the whole thread.

3) 6th Nov Maxis called to say not going to deliver last week, will be this week and cannot confirm date. I ask them to check and call me back.

4) 7th Nov afternoon, same Maxis CS called and update latest will deliver 14th Nov. Then I inform the change of address. Also, I'm on 2x sim card package and please send 2x. She says noted down into system.

5) 7th Nov evening, another CS called and repeat the same thing as #4. Address change is noted into remarks, but not updated into actual delivery address doh.gif Also did not update the 2x sim card. doh.gif I ask, either send me 2x new sim card, or don't send me any sim card at all. He put me on hold for a moment to check with supervisor. Then he promise Maxis will NOT send me any sim card and can use back existing one. Very stern with the CS, and he promise it will be updated.

6) 11th Nov, another CS called and very happily told me will deliver latest by 14th Nov. I told him off this is not any news for me, I already know this last Friday. There is no value-add from CS for this call.

7) 12th Nov (today just now) 6pm+ BS called and say nearby my initial address. Not my changed address. rclxub.gif Refer #4 above.

8) Collected, and there is only 1x sim card. Refer #5 above.

Just look how many things Maxis screw me up. There is so many things that the entire Maxis team from top to bottom that needs to revamp and improve.

I don't know whether there is more to add, if both my sim cards going to disconnect. I'm not plugging in the new single sim card for now.
shakehead.gif

BTW, it comes with iOS 8.0.2 and I need to upgrade to 8.1 before I can restore from current phone.
