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? tongue.gif

yes. correct. monthly commitment will be RM80 (Value 80) + RM99 (iData) and paying RM1990 for iPhone 3G 8GB.

Thanks!
If that's the case, it's better to take this plan instead of change to a new iValue plan then..
Correct me if I'm wrong..

By the way, do you guys think a 3GB data usage is sufficient.. for once-in-a-while facebooking and minimum browsing?

Whooa 3G is definitely more more than enough. Provided you're not tethering. Most of the apps on iPhone like Facebook, etc are very efficient in data usage. I can FB the entire day and still only use a few MBs. With 3GB probably you can do VOIP calls to other iPhone users and a lot of youtube. Youtube over iPhone is efficient too cause it only download the lower bitrate of video feeds (lower quality).

I think your plan is good enough. But in my opinion RM99 can buy you a full fledged personal mobile internet.

Here are the break down on the trade in price:

*Need to signup a contract.

2G 8GB to 3G 8/16GB is only: RM 390
2G 16GB to 3G 16GB is only: RM 430

Example: A 2 year iValue plan at RM 1910, with the trade in price of your phone for only RM 390, your full payment will be RM 1580.

3G 8GB to 3G 8/16GB is only: RM 900
3G 16GB to 3G 16GB is only: RM 1200

Example: A 2 year iValue plan which is RM 1910, with the trade in price of your phone for only RM 900, your full payment will be RM 1010.

trade-in at any maxis center or maxis distributors?
