So effectively, this is like paying to rent the phone?

this could be 1 of the new promos i kept hearing from maxis.. and there are more coming..

They've revised their Maxis One plans - the RM128/month one comes with 3GB data quota now instead of 2GB...

Now if only they would bring back Surfmore 75...

iphone also will be introduce soon with zerolution promo

Maybe for the upcoming 6S and 6S Plus... but that's not till year end

most probably ip 6 or 6plus clear old stock..cant wait for note5 as well

Question is when there are many people default they payment, Maxis will be rugi bear la..

Maxis isn't so stupid to keep your payment due to them but sell to other 3rd party FI's that will bear the risk instead.

They can tempt all they want, but I'm going to stick with my Surfmore 75 + Monthly Upgrade 5GB until they come and get it from my grave!

I'm too used to 10 GB data monthly!

The fact is they will still be bearing some risk coz it's stated the price of the device is added into your bill and not charge to your credit card. Even if they scrutinize your payment record thoroughly as a prerequisite for this plan somewhere down the line there might be some defaulters.

Lucky you bro

I was on the Surfmore but had to switch to the iValue because of purchasing the iPhone on contract... Was planning to switch back after my contract ends but now that plan is no longer available...

Same situation as if u default on ur bill payment lor. Bar the line and if still nvr pay send lawyer letter .

And then name gets blacklisted.

Worth it? Go figure

i am waiting this...current only samsung and htc...

hope maxis include note5 also....

Even if they do include these new phones I'm not sure it's a good idea coz if you change phone every year then the phone doesn't belong to you. It's like paying rent and on top of that you need to pay the insurance amount.

Take for example the S6 Edge. According to the zer0lution plan, you pay RM156.00 per month x 12 months = RM1,872.00 and then you need to return the phone to change to a new phone.

If you pay upfront for the phone on a normal contract, say RM2,099 (+GST 6% = 2,224.94) and you use your credit card for a one year installment, then you pay 185.40 x 12 months which is only additional RM29.40 per month (assuming you don't add device protection) and the phone belongs to you. Granted of course, there is an additional year of contract for the normal plan.

is maxis zerolution available at Dungun outlet?

Basically it is like leasing. U rent the phone for a year, return it for upgrade and continue paying.

If u default, name will be blacklisted at CCRIS.

I believe it's available everywhere.

I wonder if you can take the phone and say you lost it and ask for a replacement? How will they check?

I guess they won't bother. U still need to pay monthly for a year. If u default, they will blacklist u.

Must buy an insurance coverage plan according to the FAQ.

"The Zerolution premium protection covers all accidental damages, screen cracks, water damage and attended theft. No matter what happens to your phone during the period when you are enrolled in the Zerolution upgrade programme, you will get a new replacement device within 48 hours of making a claim.

You can use the replacement device and return it after the 12th month. This way, you won’t have to worry about your upgrade fee being forfeited even if your phone is damaged."
