QUOTE(attw @ Dec 31 2014, 07:32 PM) 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. 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%. |

QUOTE(attw @ Jan 1 2015, 11:51 AM) 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  Haha, yeah. Not much savings in iValue simple. I'm starting to waver coz I want the i6+ now. First time buying iphone so late.  |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jan 1 2015, 12:02 PM) @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* Yeah, I started to practise kiamsap-ness due to rising cost, weak myr & future gst.  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. |

QUOTE(sonic_sphere @ Jan 1 2015, 12:39 PM) Talking bout Red Sale, when it will be happened? And normally what is the promotion? How much discount? If the offer is good, then better wait for it... It's just before cny and usually on Friday. 2013 promo was meh. More on accessories. 2014 promo was good as i5s had some discounts. I can't remember exactly but you can check at soyacincau or similar websites. I thought it was good because Apple products usually no discount. |

QUOTE(deepan84 @ Jan 1 2015, 12:41 PM) When does the week start for m2c? Sunday or Monday? Unfortunately, it's not stated. I was searching for that particular t&c.  I'm guessing it's Monday since the promo ends feb 8th which is a Sunday. I'll probably call and ask when I'm ready to buy. If anyone else has info, do let us know. |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Jan 1 2015, 02:48 PM) If Im not mistaken, the Iphone 5s 16GB had a Rm200 -Rm250 off RRP. Was a very good buy for one day only. I hope it would be the same for i6+. Then no need to get from maxis. |

QUOTE(attw @ Jan 1 2015, 03:24 PM) 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. Thanks for the info. Whoever has registered and qualify for the rebate can post here and let us know. I may call up maybank cc dept and ask once I'm back to work. |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jan 1 2015, 09:25 PM) @ftan, Yes, unfortunately I need to find a Centre that has stock before I can opt for the RM300 EzyPayment @attw, You have the option to wait Good morning. Hehe, tell me about it. Whenever I pass by Maxis, I only see 16GB available. Now, I'm thinking 16GB isn't that bad after all.  QUOTE(attw @ Jan 2 2015, 07:59 AM) Yup, that's exactly what I'm doing +1 |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Jan 2 2015, 11:06 AM) Like mentioned, 16 GB is good enough for users who use their phones mainly for calls, social networking and social messaging. If you always do an upkeep on your phone by deleting unwanted apps and photos, I can say that 16GB is adequate enough. Do note however that the display board may not be entirely accurate too, some forummers who went in Maxis centres and asked and they got the 64 or 128gb though it was displayed out of stock at the board outside. You may be right on my usage. QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jan 2 2015, 12:24 PM) @ftan, I don't know about you but 16GB is definitely insufficient for me. My previous iPhone 5 was a 64GB so I'm really hoping to get the 128GB but I suppose 64GB is oK also.. so it really depends on what I can get my hands on! Oh, ic ic. Then you should get 128 GB. If your iphone is to last more than a year, then better future proof it. |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jan 2 2015, 02:30 PM) @ftan, Lol well I would prefer a 128GB but I don't want to wait too long! As it is, I kinda change my phone each time a new release is out *oops* Just that this time round, I kinda err took too long to decide Same with me. I bought i5 & i5s on first day Apple online store sold them. This round I just took my sweet time. It would definately be before gst is implemented; or I just skip & wait for i6s (kinda unlikely).  |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jan 3 2015, 07:04 PM) @TOMEI-R, No this one doesn't bundle but the problem here is that their system is not updated to do the MBB Ezy Payment @attw, A bit late in reply but I've just responded to it. Did you buy since there is no mbb ezy payment? |

QUOTE(attw @ Jan 21 2015, 01:41 PM) I think largely depends on your usage. I'm on iValue 1 which is RM100 for 2GB, 1000 minutes maxis to maxis and 333 minutes maxis to others. Previously I was on Surfmore 50 for a year so I know my data usage doesnt exceed 2GB, and so it's enough for me. The calls definitely won't exceed that many minutes, ha ha. The only setback is need to pay for SMS to non maxis numbers but with WhatsApp, WeChat, etc. I hardly SMS anymore anyway. So for me it's way better than One Plan. Plus iValue can sign one year contract, One Plan minimum 2 years. Hehe. Previously, I was using SurfMore50. It was good except my usage much lesser than 2GB. Then I switched to Hotlink with 1GB data; but I notice the internet speed is slow compared to postpaid. Now, using iValue simple. Seems good enough. |
