iPhone 3G is finally official landing on Malaysia by Maxis mobile. Very excited news for iPhone lover after waiting for one and half year?

Of course there are also many iPhone lovers can’t wait and bought the unofficial iPhone 3G months ago.

maxis ivalue plans free iphone 500x258 Free iPhone 3G @ maxis

The most cost effective for normal usage user is 12 month contract i-Value 1. RM1510 for the iPhone 3G 8GB price and RM100 commitment. It is quite attractive by looking at this price.

Maxis require advance payment which I think is not necessary. Since subscriber already commit their usage monthly, why still pay advance?

Another thing I dislike is no unlimited data usage offer from all the packages. it look so disappointed especially IT geek like me who spend most of my time surfing net.. lol..

Last but not least , the most interesting part if you are heavy user , you may sign up for the 24 month i-Value 4 for RM375 monthly and you will get the FREE iPhone 3G..
