I was abit cheesed off with the pricing at first glance, but after some analysis, I think the pricing is fair, IF you are willing to pay more for the iPhone upfront.

Basically, the less you are willing to pay upfront, the more you have to pay in the long run. The simple fact is...Maxis is not going to give you the phone for free.

AT&T are a slightly more flexible, and their plans are a little better than Maxis. Their voice packages have rollover, and they have SMS plans too.
