Seems like a Smart Choice.. 

but if he is already on postpaid (specifically on Value 80 Plan) then it's no big deal.
but if on prepaid then  .

________________________________________________________________

The last part of the contract basically says that we can terminate the contract before expiry and RM100 penalty ......what about the 24 month / 12 month plan?

i think the contract says that if a person terminate the contract , they only need to pay rm100 only .

but the info that we get earlier ( forgotten his name ) says that with his internal contact confirm with him that it is rm100 x ( how many months left in the 6 months contract ) ....

so , which one is it ?

so anyone know tat the phone can installment or need pay fully ar when collecting the phone from maxis?

apple malaysia jz updated the page... iphone 3G coming soon 
and this page...we are still on the coming soon list...

Guys, I've some questions hope you don't mind. I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but would appreciate any help.

1. The T&C at the website says this:
"Port-in customers are not eligible to sign up for the iValue Plans with a 24 month contract."
- May I know what does it mean by 'port-in'?

2. Let's say I have a family member who is a current Maxis postpaid subscriber and his/her phone bill every month is already about RM300/mth,
- Does it mean it's really worth it to get the iPhone especially with the iValue 3 and iValue 4 packages?

3. On the website it says "Booking period ends 17th March".
- Does it mean after 17th March we can't get the phone at the deal already?

Thanks! 

yup, at first it didn't make sense to me as well. But since it's someone working in Maxis then I just have to take their word for it. We'll just have to see when it launch.

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

I just got my Maxis iPhone today. I was being told the Maxis Data Plan can be used on other fone. Eg. I'll use the iPhone for my DiGi line where else the Maxis sim-card (with data plan) to be used on my other 3.5G fone. Is it possible?

Reason for asking because the sales person told me the Maxis Simcard has to be tied to the iPhone and can't be used on other fone.

But the person who activated my iPhone (different day) at Maxis said I can use the Maxis Simcard on any other fone to utilize the data plan. So there's a conflict here. Anyone can comment?

I don't think it's the advance payment because we've already paid while getting the phone. Maybe it comes from your sms/call charges? Better call Maxis and ask before it goes higher/more.

It became RM2 because the previous usage has reached your bill cycle cutover and they will bill you accordingly.

I know I can use the simcard on my other fone which I am doing it right now. But can I utilize the 3G data package (500mb per month) with my other 3.5G fone?

I got to know the salesperson told me that the 500mb data CAN ONLY BE UTILIZED by iPhone and not other fones. If I still insist to use, I won't be able to utilize the 500mb but instead, will be charged RM10 per 1mb.

Wanna make this clear before I start surfing web with it...

Hey buddy,

Did u download the data using iPhone or other 3G phone. I was being told by the salesman that the data package ties ONLY to iPhone but I reconfirm TWICE with other Maxis personel, one the person who activates my iPhone and another one, the call center, they both said that the data package can be used in other fone as long as it's a 3G fone. I tried surfing web with other 3G fone and I was being charged under OUTSTANDING BILL. The outstanding bill is charged above the RM100 commitment per month, can only know when the bill comes.

a) Salesman - data package ONLY for iPHone for RM100 commitment. If use other fone, it will charge RM5 per MB.

b) Maxis iPhone Activator and Call Center Personel - data package of RM100 commitment can be used on any other 3G fones. Over 500mb of data, Rm5 per MB will be charged.

So I dunno which is true now, A or B.

Daniel,

Can you please confirm that you can use the iValue package on other hardware (other 3G fone) and not being charged extra? Look at my previous message. Reason why I ask so much is because I got the package because of the fone, like yr wife but I do not want the data package, hence I passed the line to my wife to surf web on my LG-KS20. I only want the fone. So far, the fone is great!
