Actually, what's the benefit in getting the phone from Maxis? Will it be any cheaper than buying from Apple outright?

For someone like me, who has been using Maxis 128 all along and needed a new phone, it will be cheaper than getting from Apple but other than that, no.

If you're an existing subscriber with a 128 plan or higher and you're willing to tie up for 24 months, then it makes sense getting it from maxis on a normal contract as you'd be saving RM1k or more compared to buying from Apple outright.

On the other hand, if your monthly usage is far less than 128 or don't intend to tie yourself up in a contract as you might want to switch telcos later, then yeah, you can get the phone outright from Apple.

Yeah, I thought as much. I'm a Maxis 98 user myself that came together when I bought my iPhone 6 Plus. Kept the plan and bought a Xs Max from Apple when upgrading.

Fair point.

hi anyone know if i purchase the normal device contract online, can do epp 24 months online too?

I think its possible.

Public Service Announcement - You can now buy the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max on normal contract basis with the 98 plan…

so you can save 1k if buying through maxis? i have been with maxis for years now, i assume might as well go through them for the iphone rather than apple? is there any disadvantage other than being in a contract for 2 years? will the phone be carrier locked? after 2 years can i switch telco on the phone?

No carrier lock or anything. I guess the only disadvantage is if you terminate before 2 years you need to pay penalty for you contract but phone wise it's free to use on any sim.

Nice. I'm going to get one. Lol. Is the new colour available at maxis??

Ceh. Nobody went to maxis ka today to get the new colour?

I just got from mid Valley after maxis from mahkota parade don't want to sell me because u need to subscribe new line 98 plan. The CS said can terminate the new line after 1 month. I went to KL instead.

Turn out, at mid Valley mcm lagi worsks.
U can't buy unless u have a new share line. Mine is 98 with 1 shared line dy. So they activate new plan instead for rm40 per month. Worst is u can't terminate within 6 months. 😭

Wanna save rm 98 ringgit, I lost toll, minyak, time, and rm40 x6 = rm240. 🤣

But still better than getting iphone x in Singapore.

hei, i went to maxis pyramid yesterday. the sales person told me to buy the ip13 must add 1 share line to my current 98 package

i didnt believe him at all because it is nowhere stated in the website about the additional package is a must

is he try to upsell or what

Meaning it could be instructed from hq. Must come with a new number. Nway, my new line is hotlink postpaid.

call Maxis and ask ... I got mine, and tied it to my existing line, no extra line required for my side, but your case may be diff...
or maybe the sales person wanna upsell to meet kpi...lol

Anyone knows how fast will maxis process safedevice claims?

I’ve submitted an accidental damage request today and tentatively when can I expect a replacement device ah?

Saw that Maxis ip14 minimum monthly rm 128 for 24 mths contract where as ip13 has rm98 package. Anyone know how long for maxis to launch 98 package for ip14?

2 months or 3 months

I’m sign 2 years normal contract for iPhone 13 pro max last year. What if I want to buy iPhone 14 this year? Is it possible?

Any Maxis business user here eligible for new iphone order through Maxis business Hub?
