With the official launch, Maxis also enhanced iValue plans features to give better offers. Now every iValue plan will included free data, as well as free SMS and free MMS (Maxis to Maxis)!
iValue plan customers also enjoy free calls and sms between Maxis family lines.
Here is the overview of new iValue plans features:

There is also 0% interest easy payment scheme for all Maybank, HSBC, Citibank and Public Bank Visa and Mastercard customers.
Existing Maxis iPhone 3G-no-S customers could upgrade to iPhone 3GS and get at least RM500 rebate.
My two cents
Another move for better iPhone plan from Maxis. The added free SMS and free MMS features surely attract more people to switch, although limited to Maxis-to-Maxis numbers.
“Does the pre-booking customers also enjoy the enhanced iValue plan?” is the question in my mind now.
For existing Maxis iPhone 3G-no-S customers, it is not worth to upgrade to iPhone 3GS even with the rebate offer.
What do you think?
of course they should include all the pre booking customers – after all we are the ones who made the commitment to buy teh iphones black and white and also took the trouble to go all the way to pay RM 200 deposit.
the free sms and mms are only limited to maxis numbers – so they do not reallly lose

Data included in iValue Plans applies to mobile Internet usage
only and excludes SMS, and other subscription based services. Data bundle is for local usage only. The maximum charge for local usage is up to RM250
can anyone do a check on this RM 250 amount – ridiculous
why is so high – can it not be lower say at RM 120 or so
as we have to sign a commitment to Maxis – they should not charge us an arm or a leg
if we buy the prepaid version of iphone RM 2,490 and use it as an iphone with an unlimited 3g access it is only RM 99 per month
maybe you can highlight this unfair charge of RM 99 and RM 250 – very big difference
some more we have to commit ourselves to 12 or 24 months
i think is very expensive package..of course if you want the phone (not parallel import) that is the only way.
taking the most expensive package…since it will reflect cheapest call, sms and mms.
Take sms amount to RM40 and mms amonunt to RM10. Broadband digi could get them for RM58/3GB, so left the amount to be divided by minutes which is still more than 10cents (about 0.1068/minutes) ….the high package for other telco is all free calls (much cheaper rate)….rates are towards calls to any telco….while this are only for maxis to maxis..
but some amount also will contribute towards the phone….
All the plans are not for me. I hardly use up to RM20 for phone. :P
Wow, bro liew almost 1 month plus never blog d. Where have you been bro? Hope everything is alright! ^^
The added value is not that significant…it just another gimmick to sell the new phone really. But yes, if you can afford to have one why not… anyway has anyone heard about the Google TV beta version?…Hope LiewCF can shares his view on Google TV…
Not really interested to buy iphone yet. But might be after my phone broken..
i already purchase iPhone 3gs 32G with maxis plan ivalue1.
So far this phone not let me down. Iphone 3gs is one of most briliant today (some people keeping compare this phone with other smart phone) with most application on store
