I'm interested in getting the ip6 with Maxis, went to the maxis centre nearby to check out the prices and iValue simple caught my attention.
I'm a university student and 1gb data should be enough for me when I'm out (as I have unifi at home) I'm on prepaid now and spend about RM30+ monthly just on credit, excluding data.
Currently in a dilemma though, not sure whether to buy the phone and then get a internet plan (like Surfmore) or get the iValue simple? Any opinions? I've never bought from a telco before, so I'm not sure. Thanks in advance

Assuming you take the iValue simple plan, it's RM50 commitment with 200 minutes of free calls and 100 SMS to all networks, so you're pretty much covered if your usage is low. And seeing how you are on RM30+ prepaid now, I think it's about there or thereabouts. In terms of device price savings, there really isn't much. Assuming you take a 16GB iPhone 6, then you save only RM 150. If you take a 64GB one, you save RM 170. But you're gonna need a data and call plan anyway so the savings is probably good enough to get you a decent case and screen protector.
If you think you will need more than 1GB data per month, then it's probably better to get the phone without contract at a retail outlet or nego your way in our Garage Sales where there are some people who bought the phones on contract and are willing to let it go slightly lesser than retail price and get the Surfmore 50 plan which gives you 2GB data. Mind you though, no free calls or SMS for Surfmore, it's pay as you use. If you use RM30+ a month now, then with Surfmore it becomes RM80+ a month.
So if you really think 1GB data is sufficient, then iValue Simple does quite nicely.
