Maxis Malaysia has showcased its iPhone 5 plans and pricing last week. To our surprise, the network provider has added a new and cheaper iValue plan ahead of the iPhone 5 launch at midnight December 14.
The new, cheaper plan is called the iValue Simple.
By paying a monthly fee of RM 50, you get 200 minutes of free calls to any network, 1GB of mobile internet data, 100 free SMSes, free 10GB of LOKER cloud storage and free 2 months subscription of One Music.
Maxis only offers 12 month contract for the iValue Simple plan. As the new plan is now the entry-level plan bundled with the iPhone 5, you get to enjoy unattractive subsidies of between RM 100 to RM 120 on iPhone 5 models.
iPhone 5 16GB is cheaper by RM 120 at RM 2,079 apiece, meanwhile iPhone 5 32GB and 64GB cost RM 110 and RM 100 less at RM 2,389 and RM 2,699 respectively. For older iPhones, in case you are interested, cost RM 1,769 for iPhone 4S 16GB and RM 1,239 for iPhone 4 8GB.
You need to pay an advance payment of RM 100 to secure your iPhone. To better compare all the five available plans, simply hop over to iPhone 5 official page at Maxis.
P.S. : If you don’t wish to tie up with Maxis or any other telco on contract, you can purchase the iPhone 5 outright at Apple online store starting December 14.
