bought hire-purchase/ing Samsung S10+, Samsung A31, iPhone 13 PM, and more that I cannot remember from Maxis; none have this so-called imaginary Device Guard inside.

which maxis plan?

The plan that does not let you keep the phone (around 24 months return old phone and get a new model) has it
My sister is on that plan and her s21 has it
It may not be an app but i remember it's something that restrict some settings (ex: do a real factory reset)

i always take zerolution (noswap),
NOT zerolution360 (swap around 24mth or continue paying few additional months to noswap).

replace phone because need-to (damaged shard unsafe to put in pocket, no part and battery replacement, or skip to latest update). part of the routine is i always check what's (system) installed after initial boot, because i will remove suspects and social media-anything upfront - especially whatsapp facebook instagram wechat whatever-chat scum of earth) even before sign in to any account; had never seen anything called Device Guard.

anyway, TS was asking for iPhone hire purchase with telco.

i don't think the so-called Maxis Device Guard is anything he needs to be worried of if he really goes for iPhone and Zerolution.

Thats why i say it may not but an app but some settings stuff is restricted/locked

In Merehsia, if buy or get phone from telco's, would it be the phone is locked to their carrier only. So in future only still can use that telco and not others?.

Nope.
20 years ago, maybe.
Now, I think only Celcom and TM that went back to stone age; lock their B618 modems.

Did not find anything restricted inside my Zerolution iP13PM

I don't have problem if they lock my phone, as long as they do not have access to my private data (they shouldn't be anyway) , that's fine... thanks for the reply btw...

I think blame those scammers who sign up for the phone and change hand sells it + not paying their installment. I believe the fraud case is very high triggering telco to implement such control to discourage resell during installment period.

Every good thing + abuse => inconvenience follows ...

I hope so then, thank you @azhar97

Agree to this. I never seen this in my huawei p20 pro or s10 or even ipon

https://www.maxis.com.my/en/faq/devices/con...t/device-guard/

I think the “discount” you get comes with the control. Question is whether you willing to do the exchange.

If objective is to take phone, runaway and default payment, need to find other telcos to do it …

I have been Digi iPhone contract (not PhoneFreedom 365) since iPhone 6s and just got the iPhone 13 last month, Digi never install any software on your iPhone, Apple has very strict security policy, basically Telco will not be able to install software on iPhone unless Apple approves it (which I really doubt Apple will allow Digi to do so)

Digi can lock your phone by locking IMEI if you don't pay your bill during contract time, this is what Digi can do, but it cannot read your phone data at all.

noted, thanks
