Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to purchase an iPhone 3GS with an iValue plan while trading in your old mobile phone? Basically I want to get rid of my old phone while buying the iPhone to offset the cost and take advantage of the maxis discount on the 24 month contract. I know I could sell it here on LYN but I'd rather just offset the price of a new phone then look for a buyer. Anyone with any details? Cheers mates. Peace

QUOTE(PeeEl @ Nov 5 2009, 02:10 AM) Maxis is not a trading house. Neither is it a phone shop. So, you know now the answer to your superflous question?! Peace be with you too, mate! Oh I quite realise that it's not a phone shop or a trading house. However, I believe they have MEP stores right? Which double up as run of the mill mobile phone shops. I was merely wondering if anyone had encountered an instance where a shop had allowed them to trade a mobile phone in as to offset the price of an iPhone on contract. You can understand why I had considered this as we live in Malaysia, a place where many a thing is possible be it aboveboard or underhanded. I simply thought someone might have encountered such a store. I do not think my question was excessive in nature, I was genuinely curious. Albeit tart, thank you for your answer. Cheers.

QUOTE(PeeEl @ Nov 5 2009, 09:54 PM) Neither do I think my response to your query is, excessive, I mean. And tart is excessive! The iValue Plans originate from Maxis. Therefore MEPs are bound by their rules and regulations. If you are asking whether MEPs can accept your phone as a trade in for an iPhone which they have in their collection, your question then would be more sensible but not when you are talking about signing a plan which ultimately ends up with 'big brother' Maxis. Even in a country like ours, certain things are still far from being possible. Hopeful as you may be, I suggest you start telling yourself that things impossible far out-weigh things possible. I suppose I'll have to look for a buyer for my mobile, fiddles sticks. Sigh.

I always find the DiGi site for iPhone confusing... don't know if i'm really saving or not...
As for buying iPhone from regular shops... I don't know man... maybe I'm just one of those people who likes to be able to go back to maxis and scold someone who can't scold me back... if my phone spoils... lol
