Yeah, previously I had One Plan 128 with 3GB and a Surfmore 50 with 2GB for my iPad, then when they up the quota of One Plan 128 to 10GB, I cancelled my Surfmore 50 and subscribed to their Multi-sim plan (for additional RM15 a month, I get another sim card that shares data quota with my One Plan). As you mentioned, the cheapest plan right now is RM98 for a principal line, but if I want to I can get a supplementary line for just RM48, 5GB data with unlimited calls and texts, which is quite a good deal, but since the iPad has no ability to make or receive calls, I'll leave it as it is for now. Though kinda regretted terminating the Surfmore 50 now that it's been discontinued

Like you mentioned, the new CEO seems to be taking maxis in a different direction. Not only are there no more plans for tablets (like Surfmore), I don't see tablets being offered from maxis as well.

If you read the article about their 3Q Financial Results lately, their CEO was talking about increasing the ARPU (Average Revenue Per User), so yes, in that sense, they are targeting more high-end/premium customers which would explain their pricing strategy. They will never drop their prices to compete with the likes of DiGi, Celcom and U when their customers still perceive they have a more superior network. Yes, their profits may have dropped since the beginning of the year when the whole social media fiasco about special plans for selective customers came to light, but overall, their revenue increased as many ported back in to MOP 128 when the quota was increased. Their hope is to finally move those on legacy plans to MOP, of course. Even the iPhones now no longer come with iValue plans.

Well, I believe you can. Here's an excerpt from their FAQ: -



Or you can read the whole thing here.

Ya, you can't get a supplementary line but multi-sim should be OK. Must be their evil tactics to switch you over to MOP, heh heh...

Yes they do, but over the counter at maxis centres. Not available online.

Yes, that's right.

Maxis ups the One Plan quota

But supp lines also get weekend data right?

Too much data, don't know how to use finish, haha..

Seems like a global shortage of 7 Plus 128GB right now

I think I'm gonna try 32GB first and won't wait for the 128GB. Was not in a hurry before but looking at the strengthening of the USD, I'm anticipating the prices will go up again and that would be worrying!

Not just here, but globally. I think Apple critically misjudged demand for the Plus models this year. Either that or there is a conspiracy theory that they'll release more stocks in December to have good numbers for the holiday period!

Just did

Bought a used 32GB 7 Plus this evening. Will pass it to my wife if I need more storage later

Congrats as well! 7 or 7 Plus? Ya, the fact is RM will keep depreciating so we'll have to brace ourselves!

Agree. Also the + version has better battery life

Capacity and color preference? Heard that 32GB stocks are available here and there, but 128GB for black, jet black and silver are out of stocks in most places globally...

Ya, so much for "nothing special about the 7 plus", "overpriced and not worth it", "economy no good", bla bla bla. Almost impossible to find a 128GB one even a month after launching here

Ya, the explosive phone didn't help our cause, heh heh...

And now we have Zerolution for iPhone 7, but 7 Plus no stock so not offered

Did maxis just restocked the 7 Plus? Suddenly the 128GB ones are showing up in the realview page... but then again, could be an elaborate hoax to draw you to their centre only to tell you it's out of stocks
