Kinda confused when reading through the previous posts..

So, for the Value Plus Plan, the penalty fee is Rm100 only or Rm100 * remaining months?
How about iValue Plans?

string mentioned about the penalty fees before, somewhere in the old iPhone 3G coming to Malaysia thread.

Thanks.. But still confused as I called Maxis Customer Service twice.. And they told me the same thing..

dont 100% trust what the operator told you coz i kena once before, during their launching i call and ask whether they only accept cash or cash/card.... you know every time call up got different answer ha.... some said it's oni cash some said both... c how they train their operator???

Yeah sometimes their call agents can give u misleading info,and at the exhibition at KL convention centre, you actually can pay half cash / half credit.
I heard maxis have plan to sell iphone at their maxis centre only on 27 march onwards, but don’t hold my word for it, go check it out for yourself.

But for all of you maxis subscriber like me, it’s really a good deal, since I’m using maxis for a few years now, so I see no reason to change Telco. Like some of you guys already state its kinda cheap way to get the iphone.

I just got my phone yesterday, bought 2 iphone for me n wifey. So far we're both are really please with our purchase, but the funny part is, after you purchase the iphone some of their staff clap their hand in congratulating you (i assume every staff should clap but not all of them did, understandable as their been clapping their hands for 3 days), futhermore you'll get a freebie iphone polo shirt, its not from apple but come from maxis, (at least its a nice shirt to wear on the weekend)

Now the down side of the iphone which I just learn a few moments ago is that the battery is build in like all the standard ipod, so if the battery goes dead you have to send it to the apple care service centre (maxis service centre?) to change it, and the cost of the procedure is almost half of the price of the phone itself (this happens to iphone users in the US, etc, dont know whether its applicable to Malaysia)

Well the warranty for the iphone and battery is for 1 year but what if (and most probably will) the battery goes out after the warranty?

Anyway it’s the best damn phone and music player ever, damn kewl

And in my humble opinion maxis gonna dominate the iphone market at least for 2 years, cause they not gonna just launch an iphone campaign and let other telcos come in play into the market, think of how many millions they spend to get the iphone deal with apple? And to recoup their investment I’m sure they have already struck a deal where they have the exclusive right to bring iphone to Malaysia at least for a few years before other telcos can get their hands on it. So for those who waiting for other telcos to bring iphone in, i say don’t hold your breath. But take note, what I just said above its only my humble opinion and assumption. Its not fact. This does not comes from maxis.

guys, so since the maxis iPhone is officially unlocked, so basically i can get my brother who is a maxis postpaid user to subscribe to the iValue contract and then i am the one who uses the iPhone, right? as i am a hotlink user and i do not wish to change to postpaid (yet)..

smacked down right.

Ermm, that remark is posted during the speculation days. Once the internal Maxis email was in my hands, it is basically "pay the remainder of your subscribed plan + the length of that plan".

I'll quote myself,

@stringfellow:

thanks mate. will post this up on the first post.

EDIT:

first post updated with penalty charges for terminating contract earlier than contracted period.

hi, are there any telco plans that give me unlimited 3G data usage?
if so, how much does it cost?

you can subscribe to Maxis unlimited data package on top of your current plan with additional RM99 per month.

I dunno about you guys in KL but in Penang, whenever i use the data, 3G signal frequently drops from 3G to EDGE to GPRS. I suspect it could just be an infrastructure issue as connection is better during off-peak hours. I used AIS EDGE prepaid in thailand and the signal was wonderful. it just seems faster than Maxis 3G in malaysia as well.

another thing, i notice sometimes indoors i would get poor signal (sometimes no service). did not notice this problem when i was in bangkok.

so i hope its an infrastructure issue and not a throttling issue.

ist possible, we just buy the iphone 3g for rm1510, then no need to pay the monthly commitment fee RM100, just using other telco, soon we not pay they barred the line.

i don't really know what are you trying to convey over here (because my language comprehension is rather poor), but if i were to guess, that doesn't right or legal at all.

bro.. try it and let us noe... why don u jz apply for ivalue4?? jz get the iphone for free..

Legally you owe them a money. Maybe they do nothing or maybe you will get a letter from their lawyer. They can blacklist you, not only in their company but also in your credit report.

What about in future you wanna make a bank loan? buying a house? They can dig this kind of thing...

Ok like this,

- buy the phone for RM1510, sign the contract for 24month.
- when the bills come out, no need to pay.
- If they barred the line b'coz we dont pay them, just use other telco's.


Really like that ar bro? like that my name will on CCRISS/CTOS. Mostly telco will not sue you, b'coz not worth it, usually they will blacklist ur name. Maybe soon telco will practising like CTOSS/CCRISS.
