Possibly. Because you pay less for the line. but more for the phone.

can't compare it that way since the monthly post paid fee is paying for the data, higher the fee higher the quota

unless you actually use that much of quota every month else it isnt worth it to go for the higher package

98 should give you the most savings consider the device upfront is cheaper than zerolution and apple malaysia msrp

Won’t be cheaper than buying the iPhone separately in the 1st place doh.gif

Telco only subdises a certain amount for you tied to the contract which they charge the subsidy through it doh.gif

Welp depends on your perspective, in a way in it can be cheaper

As I said the postpaid fee itself is mainly paying for the telco's network services

If a customer prefer maxis coverage and stability over others I don't see the problem

You get what you pay for though wink.gif

PPU is the same rate as contract while contract has terminations costs which is unnecessary and waste of money doh.gif

Unless telcos starts subdising 30% or more of the phone costs then it is only worth being tied to contract then

looking at TS's chart I assume he's going for 13Pro Max 1TB

which apple malaysia listed 7599

using this normal contract on the 98 plan will give you close to 20% off the msrp following apple malaysia's price

heck if you go for the 188 plan it will be almost 25% off msrp

provided you actually use that much of the quota

yeah you have termination costs but if you don't breach the contract I don't see the issue laugh.gif

besides whats the use of the phone without a proper mobile plan anyways?

if you are the kind of user that like to switch around telcos for short term satisfaction then understandable

everyone got their definition of "worth" i guess, just giving my 2 cents Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―
