[Update] Maxis has just confirmed that it has renamed the plan into MaxisONE plan and MaxisONE plan lite. The changes have been reflected in the post.
At the announcement of the new MaxisONE plan postpaid plan, the company has also unveiled a total of eight device bundles on 24-month contracts. All the major flagship devices, such as the HTC One M8, Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2 are all available alongside more affordable options such as the Sony Xperia M2 and the Huawei Ascend Y530.
Just like the MaxisONE plan, the new smart device bundles also feature uncomplicated initial payments. For any subscription to the MaxisONE plan or MaxisONE plan lite with a device bundle, the advance payment to be charged is set based on the price of the device, as explained below:
- RRP above RM400: advance payment charged is RM512 or RM312 (four months’ charge of the MaxisONE plan or MaxisONE plan lite respectively)
- RRP below RM400: advance payment charged is RM256 or RM156 (two months’ charge of the MaxisONE plan or MaxisONE plan lite respectively)
These advance payment charges will be rebated equally in customers’ bills over four or two months, depending on the RRP of the device. Hence, the total initial payment would be the advance payment added with the device price. On top of that, if you’ve been a subscriber with Maxis for over a year and posses a good credit record, these charges will also be waived, meaning that you only pay for the device when subscribing.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One (M8) are just two of eight devices currently on offer with the MaxisONE plan
