i also facing the maxis problem with my iphone ... so my temporary solution is activate call forwarding service from my maxis line ... then hold 2 phones at the same time ...

wat to do

dont know who is the first hero that can solve this maxis problem leh!? must salute to him

same as everyone here
y?

yala ... me too here

some articles said, can try call in maxis when call waiting (useless also )

i found some articles from net related to the maxis receive call problem:

************************
its all about the network not the sim card , there is conflict in edge and the incoming calls .

the edge in zain/maxis use nom2 and the incoming calls in the iphone use nom1 ,you can check just do this :

*3001#12345#* and pressing Call

check this line :

Tap GPRS Information.

you'll find zain/maxis use nom2 ,and celcom/digi use nom1 (what iphone use) .

someone can test this with maxis iphone pls?

so zain/maxis should change the system from GPRS network to 3G network ,if we wanna use the iphone in zain/maxis .
*****************************
I haven't been in the telecom field for a while now; but I remember than NOM (Network Operation Mode) refers to the GPRS Capabilities.

NOM1: Mobile phones can have multiple packet/circuit connection; which allows the phone to recieve calls while using EDGE/GPRS.
NOM2: Mobile phones can be 'attached' to the gprs network; but it can't recieve data and voice simultaneosly.
NOM3: Mobile Phones can not have both services connected; it must be either data (packet) or voice (circuit).

Applying the NOM theory to the logic of the iPhone not operating on the zain/maxis network: if we completely disable edge (or just stop using it), it should work. However, that isn't the case .. as the phone still won't recieve calls. This is also supported by the inability to recieve calls while having another line (its rings once then the call fails); since the initial calls holds the data on a nom2 network; the second call should be to come through.
*******************************
iphone use nom1 and zain/maxis nom2
you can check it by : *3001#12345#*
and check Tap GPRS info you'll find it nom2 , while wataniya use nom1 .

tips:
nom1 3G networks
nom2 GPRS networks

so if we want to the iphone on zain/maxis they should change the system network from GPRS to 3G.
************************************

FYI: zain is another telco in kuwait also having the same problem like Maxis: cannot receive call.

not sure is the same problem like above or not

good job man!

keep update here pls

thks!

"Good news for those who have spent long nights unlocking their iPhones (or been ripped off by some guy with a computer and credit card) only to find that they are unable to recieve calls on Zain. There were some compatibility issues between the iPhones and the celltowers (they work in certain areas). Zain has acknowledged the issue and has requested a software update to fix it. Everything should be working fine within the next ten days.

Many thanks to the Technical team at Zain for looking into the issue and resolving it."

FYI: Zain one of the Kuwait's telco and Zain same like Maxis now, also facing the receive call problem in iphone. But their telco was working on it already. How about our Maxis?
