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?

i don't know if this has been answered before coz the thread is too long and i don't feel like to search through it. excuse me if i've posted a similar question. so i need to know does iphone support msn messenger or it just allows ichat? and is maxis ivalue1 plan sufficient enough if i it is mainly used for email, browsing news, chatting and downloading mp3?
