Last year I did for maxis. Yes doable

Can.

Let’s say I pay deposit using UOB. But pay balance using maybank on collection, got rebate still?

The website only shows the unlimited plan. I don’t use any of those. I think if you signed up for the plan and install the Hotlink app you may see the “others” plan with fixed data & unlimited speeds.

You change your phones yearly?

How fast is the pickup? I made a purchase in store for the macbook and it was an extremely pleasant experience which is also on the day of launch. All my apple stuff are always bought on launch day…

I bought mine from Taobao and I realized if I share the links here cannot be opened unless one has TB app.

Yes, since iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Pretty fast but last round there were so many people in TRX checking out the phones but when I spoke to the staff who attended to me, he said Apple actually deployed more staffs during that period. I went in and saw all staffs were occupied, so when I saw one of them was taking out something for a customer, I stopped her and told her I was there to pick up, she quickly got me a free staff to handle my case.

It was quite pleasant but just probably maybe too many customers so need to wait a bit.

A very good deal! The lesson is the better deals come to those who wait but I never learn, haha…

I’m guessing they make very limited amounts of 2TB ones? Anyway, blue’s not a bad color if it means no waiting

Hello old friend! Was waiting for you to appear here so we can have our annual “reunion” of sorts, haha. You stopped getting your iPhones from maxis already?

damn , that totally a good deal , they even FOC the ANC version ! Hopefully you wont get cancellation order in last minutes.

I doubt so as need to use mbb card to get the instant $200 rebate upon payment. First come first serve to get the offer, I guess.

At first, the sales lady couldn’t check if the mbb rebate is still available from their system. She had to key in my order and then upon payment, she can check if mbb rebate is available. If the offer not there, she can opt not to swipe my mbb card (at least, that’s what she said).

I’m checking my spare Hotlink number which is also on Unlimited Plan, I don’t see this under “others” or maybe because my number is not active now.

Anyway, XOX has 1X-22 for 100GB and unlimited calls too. Not too bad, I use it as my spare broadband because I can get 5G with it.

Next year I will get back from authorized dealers. So many good deals but because I have a gift card, so no choice. Oh ya, could be 2TB is limited, I was thinking maybe only I’m poor but not others who can spend RM 10k for phone.

Meanwhile UOB: RM0 UOB: Upgrade your iPhone with UOB Cards! Enjoy RM250 vouchers, RM100 trade-in bonus & 0% IPP at selected merchants by 30Nov. Search "A7" on our website. T&C

Yup, I’m back. Hehe. I stopped buying from maxis long time already. Using Hotlink pantas plan which suits me just fine.

How are you? Bought your iPhone already?

Of course not. You would not think the people at UOB would be idiots right?

So u should be using 16PM now? How much u plan to sell? Or just trade in?

This was actually my 2nd order. My 1st order was with TMT and had an estimated shipping date starting from 19th Sept, however, due to a payment issue, the system automatically canceled the order.
I almost gave up, but later I checked again and saw that UR restocked. The AirPods were offered as a PWP item for RM50. Luckily, I had a Lazada secret voucher worth RM54, so in the end, I only paid RM5,995. Anyway the ETA shipping date is from 3rd Oct.

yea im going to downgrade my maxis 139 postpaid plan too, looking for alternatives.. care to share how much are you paying for hotlink and what you get from this pantas plan?

I pay $30 for one year validity. Then I buy the data as and when needed. Sometimes buy $10 for 5gb one year. Another time buy $10-15 for monthly data if I’m outside. Usually, I use Wi-Fi to surf.

If I want postpaid (don’t see the need yet), I’d rather get the maxis business plan $79 for my personal use. I sometime see maxis ppl setup booth at my company lobby. Offer seems quite good.

Yes, I’m using 16PM. I am trading-in to Apple for 3.5k.

Thanks. Hows does the trade in works? I plan to trade in my 15PM too when 18 is out, as 17PM is too hideous for me

So u PO from the web, and make full payment + gift cards. Then when item arrive, u pass your phone to them and they refund u the trade in price?

Make full payment first then after you get your new phone and you will be given with 14 days to return back the phone. You need to choose a pickup date which Apple will send a courier service to your place to collect back the phone. Pass the courier guy your old phone (no need accessories or box) and they will put in a box and sealed for you. Sit back and wait for Apple’s inspection and they will refund you the money back to your payment method later.
