Plenty of reasons mate, one of them would probably be that they would not like to give empty promises to the company's customers, moreover, how sure are you that the negotiations are going on smoothly?

You asked why wouldn't they answer your question. Sorry if I sounded like an arse earlier



There are plenty of reasons as I've said, there may or may not be talks going on, the talks might not be going on their way. We, consumers are still not sure if the iPhone would even make its debut in the Malaysian market.

If talks are successful, I'm sure they will leak out some news about bringing in the iPhone 3G to prevent the customers from signing up with other providers as early as possible. Why wouldn't they tell out if there are positive news that is very likely to benefit them? Telling you alone just because of an email would be a stupid thing to do as they are hiding news that is beneficial to the company's profit.

Singtel in my opinion, worked out the plan much earlier, but did not announce it to anybody, not even their own customers. Marketing reasons. But at least they let people know that they are selling the iPhones and urged the people to sign up with them. If they were to leak out the pricing details, then there might be less customers due to the pricing factor and gives the competitors advantage, to adjust their pricing. Maxis could be thinking that you might be working for a competitor, DIGI or Celcom.

Just my 2 cents
