QUOTE(attw @ Oct 1 2021, 10:46 PM) It's not a question of Celcom vs Maxis but more importantly it's a question of which telco has the best coverage where you work, live and play. If both maxis and Celcom have good service and speeds in your area, then yeah, Celcom makes sense since maxis will not offer new iPhones on their 98 plan till few months after launch. I've tried all four big telcos and for me personally, maxis has been the better provider in terms of coverage where I move about and of the four I would say their customer service is probably the best for me - but that's subjective as different folks may have different experiences with various customer service officers. Anyways, point is, don't pick a telco for the device, but for the coverage. Hi ya, thanks for the detail explanation, ya I noticed my neighbor complains about Celcom coverage on Facebook, guess no rush on ordering one. Also, how is stock availability Post launch? I mean after 7th October I believed stock will be fairly limited and will slowly back in stock? This post has been edited by ongweiping: Oct 1 2021, 11:06 PM

It'll depend a lot on the model you want - color and capacity as well. But it looks like they aren't selling out quite as quickly as before, so maybe the wait for replenishment won't be as long this year.

QUOTE(ongweiping @ Oct 1 2021, 10:01 PM) I'm currently Maxis user, however most of the IPhone seems out of stock, looking a skylight in particular, IPhone 13 128gb. Thinking about to switch to Celcom . Also currently RM 98 plan user. Since maxis doesn't offer IPhone with that plan so I thought of switching to Celcom as well due to this reason. Just before I switch, what do you guys think of Celcom vs maxis? Yes, please switch to Celcom. It is not worth being loyal to Maxis. Their line is not better than Celcom in most of Subang and KL area. No point to paying overpriced data. If you do a speedtest even Celcom is faster overall.

My story is a bit different in a little kampung I like to call Klang, hehehe... I was with DiGi during iPhone 4 then switched to Celcom for iPhone 5 and this strange phenomenon was happening at home - my phone will show full bar of signal and I would get messages alerting me of missed calls. But my phone didn't ring. At first I thought the phone was a lemon, but I was getting calls fine in the office and on the road - just not at home. Gave a call to Celcom CS and they couldn't troubleshoot over the phone and asked to call me back. 3 days later, one officer called me back and explained that my housing area - or more specifically, my house - was located in this "blind spot" between two of their towers hence the signal there is bad. I asked why does my phone show full signal bar though and he couldn't answer. I asked what was the solution and he said unless I shift houses (really?) there's nothing he could do coz to boost the signal strength from their tower would require investment in equipment which they were not going to do. So yeah, ported out after the contract ended (thankfully there was still one year contracts back then).

Sorry for noob question as I never use IPhone before, haha It is changeable but only at the service centres - or of course, you can DIY on older phones after the warranty has expired.

I'm thinking it is not that straight forward, somehow it seems that they will ship out the SIM card first, then confirm we switched/activate it, then only ship out the iphone? If that is the way im thinking we wont be getting the iphone anytime soon, depends on when they going to send out the SIM card to us. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, first time switching telcos with phone plan.

Just take care of the device, also I ordered 128GB due to budget constraints, hopefully it is enough, not like a very heavy videos taker.

Wonder if dash4ME really can live up to the promise to deliver within 24hrs or purely marketing gimmick. 🤔
