Hi Sifu, and Taiko.

Apologize if this topic have been covered before. I need some explanation.

I wanna buy an iPhone. I'm currently using an unlocked phone (bought from Low Yat).

My brother keeps bothering to get the one from Maxis, like the MaxisONE Plan. He says you will get the phone cheaper. I say no way... Telcos won't be that stupid.

Looking at the website, Maxis iPhone6 16 GB costs only RM 1,389 for 24 months contract. Whereas the unlocked is RM 2,399.


There is always a catch, but I don't know and can't shove it off my brother vmad.gif

All I know, my friend told me before that I will end up paying way more than the retail price if I go for the Telco contracts.


Can someone explain the trick that these Telcos using as a marketing gimmick...?


Tq... love

Let say U have to pay 50 for 24 months. So 1389 + 24*50=2589. That is the least U pay if 50/month.
Also doesn't include  if you use more than they allocate, that is also added to 2589. That's for long term by the way. So maybe U will pay more than 50/month.

Ohh... i see. That RM 50 should be the "Monthly Fee" right?

Thanks bro...
