[Maxis] Unlimited Internet Access for Subscription Above 1GB of Data Plan

Christmas comes early for Maxis. Effective 3rd Dec, no additional charges if you exceed your data quota. Only throttling of the speed. This is only applicable for those subscriber who are currently having 1GB or more data plan. Too bad for those 500MB or below subscriber. Earlier, you would have to pay RM0.30/MB whenever you exceeded the quota.

[Celcom] New iPad Plans

Similar to Maxis, Celcom launches its new iPad plans as well. Celcom made available the choices of 12 months and 24 months. It comes in 2 packages only which is the iPad Basic (RM70/month) and iPad Advance (RM100/month). Similar to Maxis, there is also an advance payment required and would also be rebated within the next 12 months of the contract.

For comparison purposes (to Maxis), I will take the 24 months contract with the cheapest monthly commitment package. That would give me a total payment after 24 months of RM1429 + (RM70 x 24) = RM3109. With that you get to enjoy a quota of 4.5GB.

As for Maxis, taking 24 months with similar data quota of 4GB, the total payment after 24 months would be RM1349 + (RM68 x 24) = 2981. It gives a different of RM128 cheaper when compared with Celcom but a short of 500MB/month of usage.

[Maxis] New iPad Plans

As mentioned, Maxis releases the new iPad plans on 22nd June. It comprises of 3 packages. Taking an example of the cheapest plan, you will enjoy 2GB worth of data plan with a monthly commitment of RM48/month for the next 24 months. Upfront payment of RM300 is required but will be refunded equally over 5 months (RM60/month). Device is priced at RM1499 for a 16GB + 4G variant. Surprising to me is that the RRP mentioned in the Maxis website for the 16GB + 4G variant is RM1949 whereas in the Apple Online Store it is only RM1899. The 32GB + 4G and 64GB + 4G variants are the same as the online store.
So, back to the earlier example, the total payment needed upon completion of the 24 months contract would be RM1499 + (RM48 x 24) = RM2651.
Upon exceeding of the data quota, you will not be charged extra but the speed would be throttled.

If you're a Maxis One Club member, you enjoy further discounts on the device when you sign up with 4GB or 12GB plan with 32GB + 4G or 64GB + 4G.

[Maxis] New iPad Data Plan

Maxis's new iPad data plans consists of plans for postpaid and prepaid users. Take note that both postpaid and prepaid iPad data plan does not require user to have a yearly commitment - in other words, contractless.

As for the postpaid data plan, data quota ranges from 3.5GB, 6GB and 15GB in which the 15GB Premium data plan would require an advance payment of RM50. If you are currently an iValue plan user (which means you somehow owned an iPhone from Maxis), you will be entitled to RM10 rebate per month. That would give an entry data plan of RM60/month. Maxis did something different this time around. Upon exceeding the allocated data, Maxis will not be charging you extra but instead speed throttling will be activated.

If you would still like to enjoy the normal speed even after exceeding your monthly quota, you may opt for the quota upgrades as stated in the above table.

You don't have to feel left out if you're a hotlink user (prepaid) as Maxis had that covered through the iPad data plan prepaid. The table above shows the single iPad data plan of 3.5GB for RM70 which is valid for 30 days upon activations.
