iPhone In Malaysia

Finally, iPhone will be officially launched this 20th March, 2009 by Maxis. So the rumour that Maxis will triumph over other telco providers proved to be true.

I checked the iPhone 3G plans and rates provided by Maxis and I am not impressed. Of course, we could buy one without a plan but that would be almost RM3K. For those who are willing to sign a new contract with Maxis, then the more upfront payment is paid for the phone, the less one has to pay monthly.

Although nobody expects Maxis to subsidies the iPhone, I think that it's awful that they force us to commit with them at a certain amount monthly but the payment is only good for voice calls and minimal data transfers.

I would expect them to know that most of us wouldn't mind the monthly commitment of minimum RM100 for two years, but we would prefer that this amount be good for voice calls, data transfer as well as text messages. Usage exceeding RM100 would be charged according to the rates of voice calls, data transfer or text messages.

SIGH, blood suckers!
