Maxis confirmed the iPhone is officially unlock. The plan is up to you to choose and you have to purchase the iPhone with the plan provided, no free iPhone.

For 3g users, RM99 for every month on top of the subscribed Plan.

Cheers

LOLZ so expensive.. Better buy from Singapore... I think it won't be popular among malaysians.. Crazy with all those deposits..

What a good news is definitely local Iphone supplier will lower down their price.

with the data includied, no need to pay for the unlimited rm 99 liao

hehe... here's what i came up with... using Excel...

and i don't even bother calculating the other plans... i thought i can get an iPhone officially now... but... oh well...



and lest i forget, there's also this page appearing in the Malaysian Apple Store... but no pricing yet... http://store.apple.com/my/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone?mco=NzY2ODIz

since im their long time time maxis customer...avg rm300+ on the bill...means that

-my advance fee is waived

what else i dont quite get it

agree....hopefully they will lower their price

So meaning all deposit is refundable in 5 months period?

Not sure mate. This is stated on the site.

3 Data included in i-Value Plans applies to GPRS usage only and excludes SMS, mobile content downloads and other subscription based services. Data bundle is for local usage only. While roaming overseas, the prevailing data roaming charges will apply.

Seem like the plan is GPRS only. Not 3G

Not exactly, current value plus plan includes SMS, Data and Calls in the monthly commitment. But this ivalue only includes DATA and Calls, no SMS ...
MY SMSes charges is like RM50 per month... is it still worthwhile for me? Nope

Cheers, nice info ....


one of the clauses says


note the GPRS part? It didn't say 3G ... unless GPRS = 3G

But too late, everyone already getting their iphone 1 year ago.
Alot already getting bored with iphone and started selling off.

yes.. if they include 3g service inside for free they rugi le.. hehe

feel like booking. since i'm an avid Maxis user. hehe. but still trying to evaluate the plans to determine who suits me most.

Wow hot topic. Finally it's here. Strong rumors are usually true these days, thanks to the internet. The reaction from most of us here is pretty negative towards the plans. But after 2 years, it's really here. My plan? Skip this model and wait for the upcoming one. It would be a different decision for me if it was launched earlier.

Yup especially one with Maxis got warranty....hehehehe.

GPRS is painfully slow man... Hmm.. iPhone Singtel 16GB cost RM2600 + Celcom UOX plan for those who are under 26 is the best.. But i bought mine for SGD1460 that time.. Hmm.. Oh well.. At least we have it locally..

iPhone 3G launched but plans don't include 3G? With almost full browsing capability, using GPRS is going to be slow.

Btw, just noticed that Maxis' plans are very extensive compared to other telcos

im a prepaid user.. use credit less then rm50 per month.. so i guess its a wise choice for me to buy oversea set.. pay minimum rm100 to maxis is no good deal... hehe have to force myself to use up rm100 per month

i got questions. confuse...

===============================

first, pls explain.

what is the included usage for the "minutes" & "data"


===========================================
and second,

2 The minutes of usage included in i-Value Plans applies to domestic voice calls only.
3 Data included in i-Value Plans applies to GPRS usage only and excludes SMS, mobile content downloads and other subscription based services. Data bundle is for local usage only. While roaming overseas, the prevailing data roaming charges will apply.

=====================================

so, if i choose the commitment is rm100 per month, this rm100 onli include my GPRS usage and voice call onli?

3G usage and sms/mms will be charges separately?
