izit a PROBLEM,if i activated the phone my self?

Give me some comment plz thx

Is there a major difference if you get it from Machines or Maxis..? coz I heard If u registed thru Machines.. u will get 10%discount on accessories.
Any one got from Machines...?
Btw, both places have White 16GB rite.?

I got my 8gb iPhone on wednesday evening but unfortunately, my charger is spoilt today.. i only charge my phone once on weds nite and it dont work yesterday nite.. i've to use usb to my pc. Any idea they will 1-2-1 change for me ? Can i just bring my adapter and usb cable to get the warranty or i've to bring the whole box ?

I can use Digi EDGE with the 3G phones rite..?

So if I were to sign up for iValue 100 Plan, I've to pay RM1910 (8GB) on the spot during registration for the first time and pay RM100 monthly? Is that it?

Tomorrow !!! yes ... Tomorrow ... (15th may 2009 ) if not early next week

Maxis is coming out a " NEW " plan for iphone 3G

as per .. i value ... plan ( blood sucking ) .. they are going to try to  pool more people in using this iphone 3G ... cos still got lots lots  of stock in their store room...
HOW ...?????
better flexible PLAN laaahhh ... !!!

if not wrong ..something like the VALUE PLAN .... !!!

source from inside "maxis " office ...!!

No secret liaw ..cos all the flyer .. oledi printed .... not today .. cos FRIDAY launching will attract more "people" and over week end...

my understanding as ....


idata .. signed up on top what whatsoever plan that you are having with "maxis"  .. you will be able to get this "iphone3G from them...

even prepaid also can get this iphone ....

This shows that "Maxis" is desperate to dispose their iphone instock ,,,

I've heard from someone in Maxis that they've only sold 11,000 pcs, this is not up to the target they set about 100,000. Seems the `buzz` about the Iphone have died down with their truly ridiculous priced packages. And they will be revising their packages soon... to overcome the slow sales.. but this is yet to be confirmed

i'm planning to subscribe for maxis ivalue and buy iphone from maxis, but before that i've got few questions that i'm not sure should i proceed to buy it, hope u guys can give some advices, btw i know little about iphone 

1. maxis iphone works with celcom(my current telco) too, then why do i have to subscribe for maxis ivalue instead of subscribing celcom 3g plan and use with iphone? is it other telco 3g plans would make iphone less functional than with ivalue?

2. what is the difference between ivalue and idata?

3. i might be going to work in singapore after 6 months, so it is not worthy to sign for a 12-months contract. i could just buy iphone from local market and unlock it but i heard the unlocked iphone is bound to crash sooner than officially unlocked one. is it real?
i still cant make up my mind whether go for a maxis iphone or wait for other telco iphone or just buy one from local market...anyone has any suggestion?

IMHO, there isn't much alternatives to ponder upon here actually; either get it from maxis or a parallel import unit (unless you are in a country where there is more than one exclusive network provider)

you don't have to be a genius to decide actually:

1. if your monthly average consumption is almost equivalent to one advertised, then go for the maxis bound unit.

2. if you are loathe the idea of having an iPhone without any warranty, then go for the maxis bound unit.

If I have some defective issues a few days after I purchase and found the problems, can I ask for a one to one exchange from Maxis?

The main issues are light leaks from the screen around the metal bezel, hard to press the Home button, and the infamous yellow tinted screen. Found out that the demo unit is perfect and does not have any of the problems at all.

Or maybe it's because of the batch model that I have so which batch is better overall?

MB489ZA/A
MB496ZA/A
MB500ZA/A

According to the three batch available to SingTel & Maxis, which is better and has almost no defects on the iPhone 3G at all?

MB489ZA/A
MB496ZA/A
MB500ZA/A

Well, I'm aware of these worldwide hardware issues that iPhone 3G owners are having. You would want a perfect condition phone right? The demo units are perfect in every Maxis centre that I've been to, isn't that ironic?

Hopefully I'm able to get a one to one exchange.

Well, I got my replacement unit. So far so good. Screen is slightly better and the Home button works as it should when press on. However, yellow tinted is still there but not that bright and light leaks are minimal now. I guess iPhone 3G's worldwide QC is not that thorough.

hey guys. Im currently using Iphone 2G and thinking want to change to 3G because the new software mostly will benifit the 3G users. So, i just wantt to know if the Hotlink Plan is worth it cause I dont want to have a contract with Maxis. Plus, im a holink user. But now still dont understand what is the differnt if I buy from outside(garage sale etc) and hotlink. Oh ya, by da way,i do really need an Iphone that can be update through Itunes not like what I did now. have to send to workshop and let the person update the software for me. is there any?

Just when I thought I would have an ease of mind with official unlocked unit and official warranty, tomorrow's weekend. I'm gonna holler them up again by Monday. This sucks though.

Added on June 6, 2009, 3:33 amWell, something is just not right though. Something's fishy going on.

So you're saying that I might be getting an unofficially unlocked unit? Btw, out with old and in with the new. The new still has flaws though. When I plug in my headphone jack, it will start to auto play my songs starting with title 'A'. Does anyone here have the same problem?

Yes, it's the same after restored.

I've showed them, the staff claimed that my earphones are not compatible which is hard to swallow as iPhone 3G supports any headphones with 3.5mm audio jack. 

Do excuse for my low-understanding of plans like these..
Appreciate if someone can help me understand this..

Example:
iData Plan 3 (for iPhone 3G 8GB)
Monthly Fee - RM99
Data - 3GB

Contract Period - 12 Months
Savings on Phone - RM550
iPhone Price - RM1990

To my understanding..
I have an existing plan with Maxis (Value 80) and I guess I'm qualified to subscribe for this iData Plan which is only for data usage..

So, I will be bound to a 12 months contract with Maxis by signing up for this iData Plan 3 and paying RM99/month (which is not inclusive of the data/voice usage that I've made). Then I'll have to pay RM1990 for the iPhone.

Is that correct?

lol kk...confirmed maxis is gonna have it...or its just rumours?

im sry but it seems that no1 answered my 1st question....regarding do i go over to any maxis centers to buy the phone from them if i wanna get d rate plans
