QUOTE(St. Teh @ Nov 24 2020, 05:04 PM) My friend went in to Maxis, the Garden this morning just to try luck is there any stock for ip12pro pacific blue, ironically the answer from their CS is there are stocks for all colours but only reserved for new customers who sign up new line. My friend was pissed off and telling them he been loyal to maxis for 22 donkey years since 1998, a new sign up members can have the privilege more than a 20ish years customers. Morale of the story: don't stick to your telco too long, just like FD, banker will give you better rate when to jump from 1 bank to another bank Huh..... but Maxis at the Gardens is their own Maxis Centre. They shouldn't be doing this right? If dealer then I understand. Oh well.... What to do? Many die die want to use Maxis only because only "Maxis only coverage at my house/office reason".  TBH, I'm doing sales and I run all around different places and I never was out of network coverage with my two telcos. So.... yeah...  This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Nov 24 2020, 05:52 PM |

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 30 2021, 06:41 PM) Let’s see how many folks gonna rant here tonight when maxis does screw up, hahaha… I’m gonna sleep in and will begin my earnest hunt on the 8th onwards - no choice since it’s pretty much confirmed my AW5 contract is tied to my current phone number  Aiks... and miss all the excitement? I will be here if I'm still not asleep. Anyway I dont expect the crowd like last time la.. |

QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 30 2021, 10:09 PM) nice... about the same tariffs as last year then? MOP128 would be around 3.8k for 128gb and 4.3k for 256gb.. Good luck...! QUOTE(attw @ Sep 30 2021, 10:17 PM) Yeah, I thought it was an independent contract as well. Anyways, lesson learned:D Actually iPhone 8 sales was bad coz everyone wanted and waited for the iPhone X which was announced at the same time but released later. I know because I walked into maxis and got an 8 Plus with no queues or fuss on the day of launch, hahaha… The only surprise they will give me is a picture of a bee and saying their server is busy Better than DiGi? Hahaha… Way better... QUOTE(Brave_82 @ Sep 30 2021, 10:26 PM) Thanks i guess most people will opt for 256GB storage... sweet spot! 256gb would be good. 1tb would be overkill. QUOTE(andrewtho @ Sep 30 2021, 10:56 PM) Buy lo, wait apa lagi?  Why not? Since Im getting a free charger.  |

QUOTE(Aiman131 @ Oct 1 2021, 12:18 AM) ya, that really stupid move by maxis. 1 website also hard to handle. now want 2 That's true.... QUOTE(KaiHD @ Oct 1 2021, 12:18 AM) they partnered with Maxis to offer apple products with Maxis pricing. key benefit for us consumers is getting a much wider selection of accessories to choose from and can put them together the phone in Maxis bill I see. Thanks for the explanation.  |

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 1 2021, 10:55 AM) Congrats bro! So, as you know, I was told I couldn't preorder by maxis CS because my existing iPhone 11 Pro Max contract runs till 5th October and apparently the Apple Watch I took under Zerolution is tied to my number and still under contract. So I went to bed, got up this morning, logged in to maxis for fun and tried to preorder as you suggested last night. I didn't think it was gonna go through so I just tried my luck, took the 128GB 13 Pro Max, added to cart and tried to check out, fully expecting to be prompted that I wasn't eligible. But then it went to the payment page, I keyed in my credit card number and got the order submitted, hahaha... Not sure if they'll cancel it eventually. Let's wait and see.. Cant they just extend your contract or something? If Im Maxis I would do so. What other better customer retention by extending their contracts.

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 1 2021, 12:59 PM) Hahaha, yeah, every year pre-order sure got story I wasn’t charged any advance payment too so all good! Yeah, it says October 8th so we’ll see. The thing is I went to two different maxis branches and both told me the same thing, I won’t be eligible to pre-order. So yeah, it’s really strange but I’m not complaining  Maybe their system couldn't capture and let you buy. Their fault, you benefit This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Oct 1 2021, 01:28 PM |

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 1 2021, 01:45 PM) Ya man, for that I'm not complaining! How about your corporate line? Getting the phone on the 8th as well? They told me reserved already. They are sorting out the paperwork. But Im ok with it. Get later also ok. No rush coz Im lazy to backup and restore to the new phone. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Oct 1 2021, 02:02 PM |

QUOTE(andrewtho @ Oct 3 2021, 12:38 PM) Haha okay then I shall not refreshing it on a daily basis for a tracking number then. U do know that this is a pre-order right? Meaning most probably stocks of the phone have yet to reach their warehouses yet. Anyway, I dont think you need to refresh everyday as they would only ship out only on or after the official date of 8/10. |

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 8 2021, 10:18 AM) Start earlier better, two years time we repeat the process You are already programmed to change IPhones every year la... Can't go against Apple's instructions. QUOTE(marogal @ Oct 8 2021, 10:31 AM) i believe so. Hopefully they did give the new sim. else it will be troublesome to walk in maxis centre to get a new esim for the new iPhone. QUOTE(solitary @ Oct 8 2021, 10:36 AM) so.. the existing sim cannot be use? no instruction or whats so ever... You can still use your existing sim cards with your new iphone. The sim card included is for the purpose of those who are not using nano sim cards. You can just keep it for spare then. |

QUOTE(marogal @ Oct 8 2021, 10:51 AM) problem occurs as i'm using esim now. so i can't use the new phone even i get it now >.< That's the issue with ESims. No matter what I would still prefer the convenience of a normal nano sim. Can switch phones and sim cards anytime and anywhere I like. So you have to head off to Maxis centre now or just giving them a call would do? |

QUOTE(KaiHD @ Oct 8 2021, 12:22 PM) the thing is, transferring and converting eSIMs are supported on iPhone. it's up to carriers to implement it je this Apple Support page lists carriers can support eSIM transfer and conversion: https://support.apple.com/en-sg/HT209096tbh i find it surprising that not one carrier in Asia other than DTAC in Thailand support eSIM transfer. not even Japan or Singapore. must mean the technology is really new ESim was here since the Iphone Xs era, even way before that. So its not new. Just that some carriers prefer not to use them because of costs involved in system migration. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Oct 8 2021, 12:38 PM |

I think the weight is just right  Gosh... its going to weight down my pants, especially bermudas. QUOTE(andrewtho @ Oct 8 2021, 02:31 PM) Congrats! Eh you got the Maxis bag  Only for self pickup at Maxis centres. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Oct 8 2021, 02:57 PM |
