Well, i asked the guy at Maxis. He said that its more valuable if you subscribe the RM100 plan and subscribe another 3G unlimited for RM99. This is the best value compare to the RM375(with free iphone) but they only give you limited access to 3G data..Hope this is clear

QUOTE(Phonzy @ Apr 8 2009, 03:36 PM) Anyone experiencing problem with the new iPhone? As in, unusually low reception and frequent disconnections with your line. Sometimes my friends can't even get me when my phone is on all the time. Or when we talk, got disconnections and like, sometimes they can hear me, then cannot hear, then can hear. I don't know if it's the phone problem or my SIM card problem. This is because when I changed to the new iPhone plan with Maxis I also gotten a new SIM card from them that can store more contacts. It depends a lot on the area which you're in. If the signal line is strong, then it's fine. I face similar problems in office but not else where. If yours is happening all the time and anywhere you go, then u might wanna send it back to Maxis and check.Anyone experience this problem before and can help me relieve my problem?  |

There is a reason why you are asked to sign a CONTRACT, that binds you to their plans with a SINGLE iPhone you are taking together with the CONTRACT and plan. If Maxis provides free upgrades to the new iPhones, i'll be first in line lining up here, no need looking as far as AUS or NZ for the new iPhone. This coming June/July, a lot of new Maxis subscribers are potentially gonna get screwed, and the result of that screw, be supremely pissed about it. Dumping ground anyone? |

Mmmm ... coffee ... need caffeine ... have to stay awake!!!
@amirsubhi If you think maxis going to give free upgrades when the new phone comes then U must be living somewhere else than malaysia before this. Just follow the rule of thumb ... buy what u need and not what u want. If you feel the current model is suffice then go for it and if not then join the club in waiting for the next iPhone. *Lambatnyer bulan June!!! |

And tie you in a contract even longer. Good luck on that.
Either way, local availability is good news for me, even is *vomits* I had to sell my soul to Maxis. Most importantly is the unlocked status. My bro can keep my line while I use it in the States. Otherwise, it's cats-and-mouse game all over again. If the unlocked status again remains exclusive to certain countries only, then the chase is on! I still remember my July Journey thread vividly.  |
