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...

http://www.maxis.com.my/content/maxis/en/p...s/maxisone.html

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."

I am not sure whether the plan is worth it seeing as the prices of some phones has dropped but Maxis maintains their original market prices. An example of this is the Galaxy S6 where some places retail it as low as RM1949. To pay for the phone's rental, the zerolution upgrade fee, insurance and finally your plan would result in the consumer paying an extra RM1000 or more.

Well spotted. I think that's a problem for most Android phones, especially from Samsung. The retail price and the street price differs even at launching...

zerolution from my perspectives.

instead subsiding you a phone and tag you to a contract which cost maxis RM1000 +/- etc if you use most out your plan and complete 2yrs contract.

They do this to offer you an installment plan to own one without paying single cent upfront, at market rrp off course. and you still have to get either MaxisOne plan which not contract bound. no subsiding and ability to pay by installment which we can do it with most credit card.

meaning who earn the most?

the insurance at RM15 monthly is considerable but the yearly upgrade no worth at all esp you need return the phone. I rather sell myself to earn more out of it.

Just found out the upgrade fee is optional but it must go together with protection fee as well i.e. either choose #1 monthly fee or #2 monthy fee+upgrade+protection.

Must also use maxisone plan, cannot choose that ad-hoc data plan 1gb

Just subscribe to Maxis Zerolution yesterday for Samsung Note 5 at Klang branch.
But after subscribe only know i cannot join the contest for the free gift because i did not do it over Maxis online store.
And then today I receive an sms if you are maxis elite MOC, you get free samsung battery / wireless charger when you sign up at KLCC or Sunway piramid.
Feel abit dumb did even get anything from maxis after more then 5yrs being being MOC member.
Just coming here to grunt.

Hi naughtyz,

At this moment, only the products stated in the website under zerolution is offered.

Thank you

Just curious, so how much in total u paying per month? Is it [Phone Monthly Payment] + [MaxisOne Plan]?

Dear all,

Maxis Zerolution is a smartphone programme that allows you to walk away with the device at RM0 upfront payment and pay your phone over 24 monthly payments at 0% interest, yet not having to lock yourself down to the same phone and plan for 24 months. You don’t have to wait to complete your 24 monthly payments, you can choose to upgrade to a new phone 12 months later and your remaining 12 monthly payments will be waived. All you need to do is walk into our store after completing 12 monthly payments, return your old phone and choose a new phone on Maxis Zerolution. That way, you can continuously change your phone every year! It’s truly the easiest way to own a smartphone.

For more information, you may refer to our FAQ.

Thank you

May i know what is the device payment need to pay out?

we still need to use Maxis One plan for the duration of the 24 month rite?

cannot change to other telco?

we still need to use Maxis One plan for the duration of the 24 month rite?

cannot change to other telco?

Hi salimbest83,

Yes, customer need to sign up with Maxis One plan for 24 months with Maxis Zerolution.

Thank you

correct me if I'm wrong

Let's say today if I opt for a Note5 (RM93 x 24) + OnePlan 98 (RM98/month) + Zerolution upgrade (RM45/month)

So for the next 12 months I'll be paying (RM93+RM98+RM45) RM236 monthly
Total for phone = (RM93+RM45) x 12 = RM1656

After 12 months, then I'll be able to upgrade to a new phone, let's say Note6 (RM100 x 24)
So I'll be paying (RM100+RM98+RM45) RM243 monthly for my new Note6 together with my existing postpaid plan.
The remaining 12 months remaining payment for my old Note5 is waived, correct?


Also the Premium Device Protection, does it cover accidental lost?
ie: accidentally drop into river/sea, or flushed away in a toilet

Hi greyshadow,

So lets say if I were to choose NOT to change phone after 12 months, I'll be paying this amount:

(Note 5) RM93 x 24 months = RM 2,232. MOP98 x 24 = RM2,352.

Grand total: RM4,584.

Wow.

I plan to renew my maxis plan to get a new phone. But I do not understand what is the different between Zerolution and contract plan to get the device.

Anybody here mind to enlighten me here? Thanks

Hi enriquelee,

Maxis normal device contract policy:

A smartphone programme wherein you need to pay for upfront payment and you will be bind into 24 months contract. However, any change to be made upon the account, contract penalty will trigger and bearable at your end.

Thank you

Thanks for the prompt reply.

For new customers joining Maxis for the very first time, you will need to wait for 6 months in order to build your credit rating. After 6 months, we can evaluate eligibility to enroll into Maxis Zerolution and see if you qualify for Maxis Zerolution.

For new customers joining Maxis from other operators, you can qualify for Maxis Zerolution too. During your port-in request, log in to your mobile service provider ‘s e-bill service and present your last 3 month postpaid bill from your previous operator with cleared outstanding and we can may allow you to enroll for Maxis Zerolution after the necessary credit eligibility checks. Your monthly usage at your previous operator should not be less than RM80.

how much will be paying for the CNY zerolution promo?
Interested with the note 5 or s6 edge +

Hi alzaim,

You may refer further via CNY Promo for the price offer.

Thank You

Wanna ask about he zerolution plan...is it the insurance coverage and every year change new phone is compulsory?

Hi,

That is optional but you can subscribe for Device Protection but the rate is higher compared to Zerolution offer. TQ

Means i can subcribe step 1 only right? Step 2 and step 3 can ignore if i dont need it?

Hi k3v1n,

Yes, you may do so. However, we would highly recommend that our users take up all the 3 option (It is better to be safe than sorry later ).

Thank you

Thanks.. will consider about it... btw, im currently maxis one plan 180 users without contract... am i required to change to contract base in order to subcribe the zerolution plan?

Hi k3v1n,

Nope it is not necessary to you change to contract base. You can get a new device without bound by contract under Zerolution.

Thank you

Thanks.. i go maxis center ask just now, they said need to change my plan to 2 years contract in order for me to sign the zerolution plan...

May I ask when will your outlets in klang valley be restocking Samsung note 5 pink color units? I went to enquire at the gardens outlet no was told its out of stock

Just went to Maxis KLCC to get the 6s on zerolution, but got turned down. They say I have a record for late payment, but I didn't get barred from late payment. Being a MOC also does not help, so I don't see a benefit in it. Well it's not my lost Maxis

is your samsung note 5 pink limited units or they will be restocking again?

Hi KKautocar,

We are replenishing the stock at our Maxis centers from time to time. However, it is a challenge to advise you on the availability of the stock as it is depleting rapidly due to overwhelming demand.

Thank you

Hi Maxis team,

Just to check, i have Note 5 from the Zerolution plan with the optional upgrade fee and phone insurance. If the phone is damaged or lost, will you issue a new phone ( or refurbished phone if damanged).

Will my upgrade feature still be valid?

Hi,

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 upon approval of 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.

TQ

Hi Maxis,
At last i signed up for the zerolution iphone 6s program. I've been told by the sales person that the free 20GB data is only applicable to new numbers. Is it true? because i read in ur website that its for all who signed up before 31st of march

hello maxis team,
i'm interested with zerolution package here.. i want to know the rm112 (oneplus 2 package) commitment is it included with data plan or that package only for phone?
so different pay for phone and for data plan?

--PMed--

Hi amad108,

The RM112 (Maxis Zerolution OnePlus 2) is inclusive of monthly payment for phone + New phone every year + Device protection . More info at : http://www.maxis.com.my/en/maxis-zerolution.html .

Thank You

ok, tq for make it crystal clear..

hi, need detail about new phone every year program, if i pay monthly for the iphone 6s+ 64gb include insurance and new phone every year total is rm164 a month, the question:
1- do i need to wait 1 year to change new phone?
2- if i pay 12 month for the phone, so it will minus the total for the new phone?
3- if i take monthly just the phone only, can i pay the new phone program next few month?

Yo...based on my understanding

1. Yes, you need to complete 12months of RM164 payment then only you can opt for new phone change
2. Nope....after you completed the first 12months of RM164 payment and you opt to change new phone with Maxis, then balance of another 12 months of RM164 payment will be waived. The only thing is you have to return your old and good condition phone back to Maxis. Choose your new phone and start again (New phone instalment + insurance for 24months) and same for the subsequent year.

Worth it or not, lets do some calculation
iPhone 6s 64GB Retail price - RM3699

1. Zerolution - iPhone 6s 64GB
RM121 x 24 mths = RM2904

Basically you would save RM795 for your new iPhone 6s 64GB if your current phone bill is RM158 or greater per month if not just refer to the table below
Current Phone Bill -> Save on the device
RM158 -> RM795
RM128 -> RM 75
RM 78 -> -RM1125
RM 50 -> -RM1797

Don't be upset, there is a workaround if your current phone bill is RM50/78 per month and you still want to sign up zerolution because of the flexibility on instalment, you can opt to choose MaxisOne Share 158. How to do it?! I'm sure you have parents and siblings, just try to pick two of them sign up under your sub line in MaxisOne Share 158 (of course that they have to pay you RM53 per month for their usage *1.5GB data and free call to any telco wor....which is not too bad right*)

Now, if you manage to get rid of the phone bill problem not sure whether to opt for the *free* upgrade package

2. Free upgrade + Protection package
As I mentioned, after completed the first 12 months payment of device instalment + free upgrade + protection (RM164 x12mths) you can change new phone Maxis by surrender your old phone back to Maxis
RM164 x 12mths = RM1968
So you spent total of RM1968 to owned an iPhone for 1 year. From the other angle, you don't need to fork out RM3699 to just buy an iPhone but after a year it get depreciate so now you just pay the depreciate price tag which is RM1968 and you can upgrade to a new phone and continue with the new device instalment + free upgrade + protection for another 24mths

Conclusion
If your current phone bill is high enough at least RM158 and greater, keep your eyes close and just sign up

finally some one answer my big question now i know what to choose finally can upgrade from 4s to 6s+

Great to heard that it helps. I spent few hours to understand the entire process of zerolution and try to dig is there any loop hole that we can take advantage...hehe

I found out that sign up zerolution iPhone more worth than Android devices because Android devices depreciate quite a lot if compare to iPhone
