quite confusing, as I didn't terminate contract before

btw what do you mean fork out

and I thought when signup the plan straight away get the device

then terminate it on next day
sifu please explain, tqvm, sorry noob here

for example u take telco plan RM80, they sell you device RM2500 (RRP is RM3699), you save RM1199 right?
but you sign up for two years contract...
you terminate right after sign up, you need pay RM1199 + RM2500 you pay earlier, equivalent to RM3699
but you already pay one month plan RM80, some telco will waive advance payment for device for existing customer
your device RRP is 3699, but u bought it at RM2500, save RM1199, 24 months contract, LET SAY you terminate after 12 months... left 12 months contract, how much PENALTY you need to pay? nowadays very straightforward, is (1199 / 24) * 12, so you pay RM599.5 as penalty... because you discontinue the 12 months contract... but you use 12 months with contract
this make up every month you continue with the contract, your phone cheaper by ~RM50
so you dont lose much right? whatever penalty you pay WILL NOT exceed the phone/device RRP lol
Maxis and Digi i am sure works this way, Celcom i not too sure...
