but why would you be without phone?

you cancel the zerolution contract by paying [RRP divide contract length multiply by outstanding contract length] + penalty for cancelling it earlier.
maxis or any telco for that matter won't take the phone back lah.

why the penalty?

the give you discounted device, and in return you had previously promised to continue pay them RM128 rateplan for 24mth. but now you want to renege. so instead of having to pay the full RM1536 for the outstanding RM128*12mth (as example), they're asking for maybe few percent of the device price as compensation for unrealised promise.

maybe to you RM43 is steep amount as you are in your final month, but if you look at perspective of someone else who maybe is in month 18, having to pay RM43(?) but escapes from the final monthly bill of [RM139*6mth] could be a blessing.

after all, once you terminate contract, there is no guarantee you won't change to cheaper plan or MNP out altogether.

that's fair, no? unlike fibre contract in which if you renege, you are still liable to pay the monthly commitment multiply by outstanding months.

No i mean cancelling the contract means i'll be without cellular service no? Or maybe it is just paying the penalty fee to be free from being tied to 2 years but the cellular service will continue like normal in a pay per month basis instead.
I'm not under zerolution contract, my phone was already paid upfront with their normal 128 postpaid contract so i won't have to return to them.

Those who bought the 13pro 2 years ago under maxis, are you guys buying the 15pro this round? And normally what time does maxis bill show in the app? My bill cycle is 21st every month

maxis' bill is instantaneous same da, give or take.

So it will show up tomorrow morning?

Yup, I checked with them - they told me I contracted with them on October 7, 2021 so I can pre-order without needing to terminate my contract first. Let’s just hope the pre-order goes smoothly (but I doubt it will).

My billing cycle is every 10th of the month, you’ll get a notification on the billing day itself but the bill is usually only available on the next day or a couple of days after that.

that's the thing, I asked different people from maxis, 123 and maxis centre, got mix information - some say need to clear my last payment on 21st, some say dont need, very confusing now lol, so you havent clear your last payment since your cycle is on the 10th?

Managed to place order for iPhone 15 Pro - 512gb natural titanium but...

Am I the only one pissed with Maxis forcing the upfront advance device payment which will be refunded over 24 months in your bill?

I thought advance device payment was a thing of the past? I encountered the same scenario a couple of POs back.

Not just for the iPhones, and definitely not this year only. It happened during iPhone 14 preorder and perhaps even for the iPhone 13. During iPhone 12 time they didn't have this.

They scared you take their phone and run away. Hahaha. Interest free cashflow for them. These farkers.

I think I read before in this forum, advance payment is forced because of bad payment history or something like that. Which is bull**** cos my bills are auto-debited.
