I already said that it only worked on PC(I know this coz only Prepaid Broadband has rm25 plan while the Internet Mudah Alih doesn't) and on the PC change the APN of your modem to "bbnet".. @ first I also thought it was somekind of mafunction in their service..

Tried on both USB Modem and phone, works fine.

Though struggled with the phones setting at first as some phones keep referring back to the unet settings.

It should work on any devices based on success in getting it to work with phones

Just to confirm, no matter if Internet Mudah Alih or Prepaid Broadband, need to use "bbnet"? I use with data modem not phone.

From: not everywhere..but somewhere..

the defintion of mobile internet in my opinion is dat u use ur phone built-in web app to access WAP sites..i.e. facebook mobile & blogs
& the prepaid internet is you use the sim,plug it to a phone/usb modem and sync it to ur PC to access the internet.

that's why you have more plans for mobile internet (1 hour being the bare minimum) vs prepaid broadband (1 day being the bare minimum)

...about the APN 'unet' and 'bbnet'...

by default,the 'unet' setting is for receiving MMS/3G calls/anything related to it.and all sim cards have been set for 'unet'.
if you want to change the APN to 'bbnet',this is what i do (assuming you have Hotlink sim like me):

1.dont subscribe to any plan 1st..

2.enable 3G setting if u use phone like me.if usb data modem,skip this.

3.go to *100#, select option 3:Prepaid Broadband

4.inside,choose option 4:Service Swithcing and inside it, choose option 2:Switch to Prepaid Broadband..proceed with everything else and wait for confirmation message stating the SIM APN has changed to 'bbnet'

5.now plug in ur phone/sim card to usb modem and create a NEW internet connection.make it a new one so that you can customise anything regarding connection.i'm using my SE G502 and latest SE PC Suite as a reference here..

6.inside ur newly-created connection...do not set any fallback connection,'maxis' as username,no password,APN is 'bbnet' and everything else left default.now,start the connection using the one you just custom-made.

7.if it shows the Maxis Prepaid Broadband page as a startup-page,u are officially done connecting to the internet.now,buy yourself a daily or weekly pass and happy surfing..

hope this helps clarify things

Added on October 31, 2009, 2:46 pmoh yeah..u may need to wait a 1-2 minutes as the server may need to give u a dynamic IP to start with..if the speed is slow,just disconnect and reconnect back.should have better speed then...
