Actually my friends in Singapore report the same situation with their telcos, hardly any 64GB sets available even now. Maybe we need to cut maxis some slack, hehe..

Malu or not another story, the expenses of travelling parking ticket etc etc. in the end it might be more expensive than buy straight from online more.

If betul betul got pass by then just ask lor. I wouldn't make an effort to go and purposely hunt them down for it biggrin.gif

I'm in Singapore now for a brief vacation. The situation with all their telcos is even worse, not even 16GB available. I'd cut maxis a bit of slack.

Congrats! You found the elusive unicorn, ha ha ha.. I think there should be quite a number of takers for the gray one, although not sure how many with a silver one willing to swap with you...

There is a possibility of device problem too...
My previous iPhone 5, had this problem and very very very frequent drop calls too

After claiming warranty and got a replacement unit...all was good then

If ure area of coverage is good and u r still experiencing this...I suggest u send in for warranty claim
*
Yup, best way to test is if u have a spare phone pop your sim card in there or if friend/relative with same maxis line nearby can test signal quality side by side...

honestly as a prospective buyer myself, i malas edi wanna go hunting for a phone which is already overpriced as it is. apple should be wooing me to buy the phone, not the other way round. so nowdays i dont bother checking unless maxis calls me. until then, if i see a better phone, ill just jump ship...

after all its just a phone which we will get bored off after 1mth of usage.
*
Same here. If I walk past maxis outlets I will just ask, if don't have I just walk away. I'll probably get a 16GB one soon. Sign a one year contract and sell the phone when the contract is up.

Seems like this thread is slowing down already. Everybody who ordered from MOS must have gotten their phones already.  sweat.gif

Those who preordered probably did. Those who are walking in and still can't find 64GB ones probably fed up liow, hahaha...

Which maxis plan you are opting for?

I'm still undecided whether to go for Maxis iValue simple $50 or stick with prepaid. I calculated it's not much difference from buying outright at Apple online store; hence waiting for the red sales. Then again with maxis postpaid, can do EPP 0%.
*
I think the savings for iValue simple is negligible, not worth tying yourself to a 1 year contract. Might as well buy the device outright at Apple Store.

I'm going for iValue 1 coz my data usage averages about 2GB per month. The free minutes more than enough to use for me smile.gif

@attw,
16GBs are easy to come by - in fact, it's also available on the Maxis Online Store.

@clawhammer,
64GB is a bit difficult to come across.
*
Ya, I realize this. That's why I'm waiting till got no choice then only go for 16GB lor

@attw,
What'd you mean by no choice?  As a consumer, don't we always have the choice?!

@ftan,
Ditto! In fact, I'm scrambling to get mine too except I want mine tied to a plan otherwise I could just get it off the Apple Store! *me kiamsap*
*
Well, in my situation, I'm planning to buy an iPhone 6 Plus from maxis. So when I narrow the field like that, the choice is then somewhat limited to availability. I understand completely as a consumer we have a whole host of choices, but I'm not keen to buy an Android phone nor am I keen to buy the iPhone without subsidy. Oh, and no, I won't consider other telcos. See my dilemma? Hehe...

Guys..
Im a bit confuse on the one plan maxis.
Let say im planning to buy 16gb ip6.
With rm155 monthly commitment, how much upfront in total i need to pay?..
24 months vs 12months. Which one more worthy?..
*
For 24 months you will need to pay 1,229 device price + 930 upfront, so that's 2,159.
For 12 months you will need to pay 1,699 device price + 465 upfront, so that's 2,164.

The advance payment will be credited back in your upcoming bills so it's kinda like a deposit that will be refunded back to you. You'll be saving 470 on the device by signing a 24 month contract vs a 12 month one, but if your usage is well below what you get for the iValue 2 plan, then it's an extra commitment to maxis for the amount of 155 x 12 months. So you be the judge of what's worth it based on your usage and what you can afford.

Yeah, I started to practise kiamsap-ness due to rising cost, weak myr & future gst.  biggrin.gif

Maxis has $300 cashback offer for EPP 0% Citibank (new cards) & m2c (weekly first 100 users). I think it's quite worth. I may opt for 16gb if I want to be first 100 buyers weekly for m2c promo.
*
Ha, I'm eyeing this too.

I've asked the maxis CS on this and they told me they have a tracker and can tell you whether or not you qualify AFTER you register, which means you wont know if you qualify or not before hand. Sucks, right? I asked if I can go to maxis center and ask if I'm the first 100 for this week, and if not I'll come back next week, and they said can't be done. They can only check after the registration is done, ha ha.

Anyways, also noticed some people asking in their forum if the week starts on Monday or Sunday and they can't give a clear answer too, ha ha... For my money, I'm guessing the week starts on Monday.

Yes, unfortunately I need to find a Centre that has stock before I can opt for the RM300 EzyPayment biggrin.gif

You have the option to wait biggrin.gif

Yup, I've survived 2 years with an iPhone 4 and 1.5 years on an iPhone 5 both with 16GB. Should be able to do it once more till the next upgrade cycle.
