Only RM100 penalty will be imposed for this plan in the event a customer
decides to terminate the 6 months commitment before its expiry.

Ermmm, no. It's 6 months PENALTY, IIANM. That's 6 x monthly commitment fee.

Maybe not 6 x monthly commitment fee. Just RM100. This could be their last option to get the market from those who dont want to be tied to Maxis,

I'm afraid not, bro. I've confirmed with my contact, it's 6 x monthly commitment fee. And the commitment fee for the 6 months plan is RM100. You may have gotten it mixed up that way.

Look at the price of their 6 months contract thingy. You're actually paying the same price as someone who is selling here. Maxis isn't subsiding , pretty much you're paying for the phone alone and maxis gets an additional RM 100. Either way , they make money - you lose

The phones ARE cheaper. It is the contract plans and the monthly commitment fees that are the killer. If you have been keeping up with Apple's tieup with all other telcos, it has been the same throughout.

A lot of people dont realize this. All they see is "iPhone 3G for USD199" and immediately call it cheap. But to get the iPhone for USD199 , you need to sign up with AT&T and pay USD129.99 a month. Convert that to RM and see if you can call that cheap!
*
You cannot convert coz people who buys the 199 phone plus the plan earns in USD. So if they earn 2K a month.. its cheap for them to buy the phone for USD 199 compared to us who have to pay almost RM2K when we earn Rm2K a month!

besides.. their cheapest plan is 40 - 70 bucks.. not 129.99.. Comparing Maxis to theirs.. Maxis pricing is just ridiculous!!

btw, Maxis brought back up the iPhone page.

I can't believe Maxis is charging one hell of a price with its package, in addition to its advance payment.. So we have to go through the whole hassle of claiming back the advance payment every month??

what a bummer!

Personally I think the 6 months plan is good in a sense that its a "short kahwin" dgn Maxis for 6 months and later just divorce.

But I remember when I was at Maxis KLCC just now asking about this, I was informed that after 6 months contract habis and you wanna terminate the plan, u still need to pay RM100 admin fee. Can someone confirm this?

You can compare wat.. because YOU are buying mar ultimately.. so whatever you earn..rupees.. yen.. ringgit.. in the end you see which country is cheaper to get from lor (based on exchange rates hahah.. maybe japan will be cheaper soon at the rate their money is dropping hehe)

don't compare plans.. plans are only relevant here.

ultimately if you're a heavy user.. their plan isn't really gonna cut it - 500mb..? come on!

btw anyone knows if their 'free' minutes and stuff rollover to next month?

@nokia and frozzbyte,

What you guys said and predicted came true. Malaysians are so predictable. Whine when they cant get what they want, whine some more when they already have what they want and want even MORE! Disgusting!
