You should be paying RM100 since it's the plan requirement even if you used less than that, and the balance of RM32 should be your iData? Did you sign up for it?

Sorry if this has been covered, does digi support tethering?? Now looking at jumping ship from maxis to digi

i think they should...but the coverage is bad...(for 3g)

in sarawak, maxis also has a bad 3g coverage

well maybe there updating the 3g coverage area...hope for the best

only telcos on the Apple approved list can do tethering. For others, you will need to JB

Added on February 3, 2010, 2:06 pmMaxis just updated their Carrier version not long ago, the smart phone become 'super-smart', auto configure to connect to the net . Telcos didn't not install all the apps for you, you did it yourself, so it's not the telcos fault.
There is a downside installing SB, you battery will drain faster

Hello guys, seems a lot of information here

Anyhow, here's my current setup:

- I purchased my iPhone from outside and I put in my own Celcom 3G sim card
- I subscribed to Celcom data plan RM38/mo for 500MB
- As a long time Celcom 3G user, I can say Celcom 3G is about 80% satisfactory and the 3G connection in my iPhone is within expectation of what Celcom can offer (but their EDGE is almost unusable, LOL)
- For this 1st month, I used about 150MB of data only with 3 weeks of billing cycle to go. I guess I need to turn on the 3G more, haha!
- No, Celcom will not charge for excess data. They will only do their magic called 'throttling'. Been there, done that.

On issues on FakeAPN or what not:
- If your iPhone is non-JailBroken, by default it will continue to 'accidentally' download data whether it's on GPRS (O), EDGE (E) or 3G.
- For JailBroken iPhone with SBSettings done correctly, any attempt to download data will result in error "not connected to the internet"
- FakeAPN? I've tried it before and it did not work. I imagine this was specific to a Celcom sim card, I can't speak for Maxis or DIGI sims.

I probably can show the snapshot of SBSettings that I know is working for me.

Yes, FakeAPN does not work for my Celcom but on Digi I have tested yes can work. SBSettings I turn off both 3G and Edge but data usage meter still go up. Sometimes I found there is Data IP sometimes no, so I assume when suddenly there is Data IP then usage will go up.

Sounds like you are using DIGI? Maybe SBSettings 3G/EDGE disable doesn't work for DIGI but it does for Celcom?

The IP display on SBSettings can act weird. A good observation is on WiFi IP address. I know even I'm no longer on WiFi zone, the IP address can remain there. Just a bug, I think. Perhaps same issue with data IP.

don get it wrong, 3G is the speed u get, not the amount of data
it get ur data download faster....onli if u access a lot data....
so ur key is not to turn on 3G more (u can always on, or turn on onli when u need it), but to use data access more

agreed. why would anyone use EDGE instead of 3G, unless they are not clear on the concept of data usage.

True, I meant I always turn off 3G coz the battery drains like crazy. And I mostly connect to Facebook, Yahoo Messenger, Microsoft Exchange server, etc, no apps download (coz use Wifi at home). Like I said, it's my first month, slowly I'll adjust my "habit" lor, so that I will use 500MB from Celcom as what I paid for

every month i just use about 30MB of data with my iValue 1...sigh.. what a waste..

Any reason why don't you use more?

Im still wondering why EDGE disable + FakeAPN didn't work to certain i2G owner.

I'm a 2G owner and I can't relate if it works or not on my phone but there is definitely DataIP all time round.

For prepiad hotlink user, how u check your monthly usage?

I try *100#, nothing show there.

So, How am i gonna know how much data i already use??????

well you can't check through maxis...you have to check through iPhone..in about section..

In certain places, Celcom EDGE is acceptably fast. Most of the time, very slow though, then I ll switch on 3G. Comfirmed fast. Haha.

My only concern about 3G. It eats battery very, very fast. I think the battery indicator falls 1% every few minutes. The best way is to plug your phone to USB and browse on 3G happily. LOL.

I was having exactly the same problem. I'm using Iphone 3G, official unlock, celcom postpaid, firmware 3.1.2 jail break with black rain, installed SB setting to toggle on off 3G and EDGE, but it doesn't help at all. Even i had toggle off all the data connection, and i tried to connect to weather , it showed update failed, and then i open up the usage , my data was actually running. Any solution from you guys, thanks
