Typically, there’s no upfront payment for the Zerolution instalment plan and the instalment plan is only applicable to existing customers with good payment records. All you’ll need to pay monthly is the device instalment amount together with your monthly postpaid plan fee.

However, for the normal contract, you’ll need to pay an “advance payment” which varies depending on the plan you pick and it will be rebated back to your monthly bill. The advance payment isn’t shown on Maxis’ website and it usually costs nearly RM1,000 for the highest MaxisONE Plan 188 option.

[ UPDATE 9/4/2020 14:20 ] The advance payment required for the standard contract is RM396 for MaxisONE Plan 98, RM516 for MaxisONE Plan 128, RM636 for MaxisONE Plan 158 and RM756 for MaxisONE Plan 188.

At the moment, Maxis doesn’t offer the devices on their online store. If you’re interested, you’ll need to leave your details on their website and someone from Maxis will contact you.
