At the rate Maxis offer the phone with call plan, its almost no brainer of buying a jailbreak, grey import, or used. This is more so for folks considering any mid-high end touch screen phone which cost easily 1.3k onward to 2+k....
With only 12 months plan at Ivalue 2 of RM155 permonth, its only 1790 or 1290 for 24 months. If you are heavy phone user, even better. Go for Ivalue 3 and get it cheaper for iphone.
And getting Iphone without data plan is a suicide plan! Iphone by design is data intensive gadgets which is why all coutries selling them with data plan. Even the lowly ivalue 1 from Maxis come with 500mb worth of data... which is about 13-14mb daily or 1gb for ivalue 2 which come with 80 dollar worth of call and 12cents per min.
If you buy own iphone, you need to subsribe P80 and RM58 data plan for 500mb. That is already 138 vs 155 where you get a subsidized iphone for 1290 or 1790. If you can get Australia unlock unit at less than 1.8k for 16gb, then its worth the effort given the out lay is the same with no commitment. Otherwise just take 12 month plan. How often you change your mobile carrier anyway....

Oh yeah, my posting refer to Maxis user.
And if you can get the factory unlocked like from Maxis or Australia, then using it on other carrier is a clinch!
As for the data plan, I guess you can get away with no data plan provided you know what you doing.

QUOTE(PeeEl @ Sep 9 2009, 05:14 PM) Thanks Nok. To a certain extent, we have reversed roles. You being kinder in your words and I should exercise more patience. Having said that, there are more and more 'contributors' to this forum which for want of a better phrase should know better than to come out with 'gems' best kept to themselves. Not that they should not post but on occasions, they either mislead or say something which is far from being helpful but cluster the threads here. My bad for not refering to wen9x88 question when I posted. He is asking something about buying it for Maxis as below... "guys i need help urgent. should i buy the iphone for maxis or this forum better? in this forum i can get iphone 3g 8GB RM1500. how bout the maxis?which one is worth to buy ? thank you for help" Do you get crucify for such? |

QUOTE(PeeEl @ Sep 10 2009, 12:16 AM) The Mods here will get annoyed if we continue to engage in protracted postings, so let me try to put this to rest once and for all. Constructive inputs are more than welcomed but when comments not really helpful or are meant more for the Kopitiam threads, they should be 'censored' as 'threatened' by our Mods. On the subject matter in question, there is a reason seasoned forummers never bothered to respond to wen9x88's enquiry and the like; and it is for the same reason I started sounding off. Those are just superfluous. Lastly, you were not being crucified but just put in place, for the good of the forum in particular and the community at large. while I understand the idea you pitching, I doubt your tact lacking approach will help either. Ok let's move on. |
