OMG ...  getting a BB really confusing. What my intention is to get a unit of BB 8900 for the company. So I can use the phone for websurfing and check company OMA/OWA mail.

I wanna try the celcom BB.
I get a different answer from bluecube and careline.

BlueCube just mention the requirement is you only need apply exec 50 + 98 unlimited data plan and u pay some RM1.xk for the BB 8900. blink.gif
But at careline, They say need to apply P148+38 BB license+ RM2 sms pack= RM188, and purchase the BB at price offered by dealer? How much? answer:duno, depend dealer .... zzz  rclxub.gif
At 1st, i thought just applying exec 50 + 98 data plan will allow me to enjoy the benefit of BB8900..
After reading post over here seem like there other hidden issue was not well explain by Celcom..
like the unlimited data plan... one is celcom data unlimited another is BBlicense data plan...
They didn't explain the use of BIS license ...which i have confuse with the celcom unlimited data plan vs BB BIS plan. I thought the plan was celcom data plan which use to surf 3G/Gprs. doh.gif
http://www.celcom.com.my/celcomexec/blackb...berry_plans.php

So i got some few Q and hope u guys can help me out.

-so if i wanna to use BB 8900 from celcom, I need to subcribe P148 plan ( which is exec 50 +98 unlimited data plan) + BIS license RM38( <5MB).

- When  surfing using BB browser, there will be 2 charges?  Celcom Data charge and BB license charge??
- Have any one try using BB to access OMA from exchange? This charge based on celcom 3G or BB? As Oma is running http.
- Do you think the BIS 38 is enough for me? I not using BB as modem, which use its browser to check mail and surf net.

THank you ...

Not sure about celcom, But I am on maxis BIS RM40 package. I brought my BB from AP seller. I ask my cousin to sub a line for me (RM10, since he use old RM138 package from maxis). So my total RM10+RM40+5% tax.

Surfing using BB Browser, I think is using BIS service. I did surf a few time using BB browser. Maxis didnt charge me any extra for data

I try to configure using OWA to get my company mail. But fail to get it work. rclxub.gif rclxub.gif I think is my company security issue.

For Maxis 5mb, is more than enough. I use for push 4 email accounts, UberTwitter everyday 8 hrs, MSN live 8 hrs everyday, light surfing on BB browser, BB messenger all day with my wife at oversea, FB occasionally. Still havent exceed the quota. tongue.gif

smile.gif nope... if you are a heavy user of IM/Facebook/Tweeter, better use Ulimited as the Entry RM40/month plan will not cover that for you...

I've been there done that... I was on Unlimited BIS and have tried the Entry BIS RM40, within 4 days of change, my bill burst up to RM40/day!!! I quickly called Maxis and change back to the Unlimited BIS and last few days when I got my montly bill, it was charge RM80++ for EDGE/GPRS usage. And after checked with Maxis, that was my exceed for my Entry RM40 plan - 17MB for only 4days! And that's it, I told my Hubby. No more trial and error. I stick to my RM120-Unlimited plan.. mahal pun mahal la.. But I'm satisfied, just curious since many claimed that they are heavy user but maxis never charge them more than RM40 and now I dunno that was true or just a gimmick. hmm.gif

Sorry my bad words.. I just feels cheat, that's all.

I am sorry to hear that..
My best guess for your situation is. Maxis screw up their setting on this BIS causing U to use EDGE/GPRS rate instead of BIS.

I might be wrong. But that is the truth that many are enjoying the RM40 maxis entry BIS.
