Yes, you can.

I was being told that the data plan MUST BE TIED TO iPhone when I inquire initially but then, I called up Maxis twice and made an official inquiry thru email, they replied me and CONFIRMED that YOU CAN USE the iVALUE data plan on any 3G phone! So don't worry.

I am using DiGi on my iPhone and have the 3G line in my LG-KS20 leave at home for my kids and wife to play and surf web. 1st month billing cut off, no problemo!

Did u guys get ur iphone from maxis central or maxis will postage for u guys?

Thanks guys, that's just what I needed to hear.
Was worried because I asked twice nobody can answer. And their damn T&C says otherwise...

What has that got to do with the question that the thread starter asked ?

I got it from Maxis@KLCC (HQ)

Why are you repeating your question

Did you even read my reply in the first place ?

I already paid to the maxis guy but that guy said need wait post laju send the phone to my house,cos avoid lost. is that true?

if that is what is being conveyed to you by maxis, then that's the normal procedure. a little patience won't do any harm.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask.
Guys when you get the iPhone from Maxis:

1. Does it come with the SIM eject tool included?
2. Do we need to charge the iPhone unit for 8hrs the first time?

1. yes or alternatively you can use paperclip.

2. not sure if that is the prescribed method, but i will do it if i was in your shoes.

I got my set right on the day I registered a new iValue plan line. It was The Gardens Maxis Center at Mid Valley. I went to those 'smaller' centers and they told me I need to pay deposit, register for the line and wait 24 hrs for activation. Upon activation, ONLY I collect my iPhone. In other words, smaller Maxis centers DO NOT keep stock for iPhone, so they put it this way. They order it and send to you later.

U need to get yr iPhone activated, so it's better to open the unit in front of Maxis iPhone helpdesk and activate it.

It's getting quite annoying. Is anyone facing the same problem? I'm not sure if its the line or the iPhone but i doubt its the line...because, recently a friend of mine just got an iphone too with maxis 3g. And the reception is really bad as well. It's messed up. Is anyone facing this problem as well?

...is there a solution?


Thank you.!

please elaborate further. how do you define "messed up"?

1) it fluctuates to one bar to full bar erratically
2) frequent disconnections
3) people can't get me sometimes when that place is a common area with full line
4) like, when talking halfway can hear, cannot hear, can hear, etc.
5) most of the time my first phone call wouldn't get through and i have to call again..only 2nd time will go through..

boy, do i suck at describing but i hope u get my drift...

thanks!

are you using an officially unlocked iPhone 3G (not using yellowsn0w or a sim card adapter)?

yeah i got my maxis iPhone from gardens midvalley and those maxis guys took a brand new phone out and did all the unlocking for me..should be legit.

then i'm completely clueless. as the characteristics which you have just listed doesn't belong to an officially unlocked version. if i can narrow down the culprit, i can only assume that the maxis coverage in your area is feeble.

throughout my entire encounter with maxis (using an officially unlocked iPhone 3g), i dare to say that those characteristics have never been a problem for me.

but if i can recommend something, you might wanna turn off your 3G (via settings); your area is possibly a crossover between the region of a weak 3G and stronger EDGE/GPRS coverage.

ah that makes sense because my colleague was telling me something about 3g/Edge thingy. as you can see i am completely not tech-savvy.

thanks however for your input, will try to play around with the 3g on/off settings.

till the next problem, cheers!

i'm facing this problem since last week. maxis really make burn their sim card la...really sakit hati with them...
