just got my iphone yesterday and rm50 credit got sucked by Edge. should read this thread earlier

you are not the only one . Nothing is preventing Maxis from going to Carrier 6.0 in the future ex 5.0 and it'll all happen again, auto configured VPN. Best is get a FAT data plan.

Still thinking wether it is worth it for me to change my monthly plan or not

Digi is da best n the cheapest..huhuhu..

RM48 FTW

guys..just trying to help...
this might be useful....

signed iphone idata plan last 5th february...n today my bill increase to rm380 which normally i do pay only between 100 n 150...call the maxis customer service n the told because i signed in the middle of my billing period...only eligible half of the data (that mean on 250mb)...demm...no one ever tell me this when i signed the contract...huh!!!

Hie guys,

I have some issue here with GPRS/EDGE.

I pass my old iPhone 2G to my bro that has been JB.

What i have done:

1) downloaded SBSettings and disable "EDGE" and "Data"
2) downloaded SBSettings Add On --> Data toggle: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7607
3) Enable "Cellular Data Network" with "iPhone_3.0_Maxis_my.ipcc.zip" ( Should i use iPhone_3.1_Maxis_my.ipcc.zip instead?)
4) Tried the link below to disable EDGE.."http://iphonenodata.com/"
5) Lastly, tired fake APN such as:
APN: iPhone
Username: iPhone
Password: iPhone

With No luck for all the steps above.

Using postpaid with 2G iphone. Last time im able to disable to EDGE now i proceed with all the steps mentioned above with no luck at all..Im still able to see the Data IP under SBS Settings..

Or i should download iPhone 3.1.Maxis ipcc file instead?

Thanks in advanced.

coz you never ask. how you expect them to tell you everything in the book? I believe most telcos practice this 'pro-rated' methods.

@terencetoo - I used "Dat Toggle" on my 3GS and it works fine. However, not sure about yours why it doesn;t work... Most probably "Data Toggle" works on EDGE/3G iPhones and not iPhone 2G.

last time i tried using BigProf...now i think upgraded version is SBSettngs.
Wired. Worst come to worst i have to call maxis disable the GPRS from the SIM

now im using an alternate way...enable Lockdown and try not to accidentally access the data apps

for me maxis is cheapest - RM30 for idata 1

my bad

common sense lar ... let said you join a company in the middle of the month, you expect to get full salary that month ?

wrong
http://u.com.my/umobile/page/PricePlan/Sur.../AboutSurfWithU
umobile 10bux a month, or 20bux a month..cheaper

oh emm gee!
thats is so damn cheap!
the price is so tempting. but im sure the line wouldnt be as good as maxis or digi or celcom.
umobile coverage sucks. and plus, they can offer that kind of plan with that kind of rate because their users is not that much.

I think my case here is something new. I called up hotlink service center 2 weeks ago to disable my 3G/GPRS/EDGE setting. After went through verification process, they process the request in 2 hours. I just need to disable 3G myself.
Everything goes well, my credit balance remain same, no data leak or whatever problem. So I'm a happy iPhone user for 2 weeks.

Today, to my horror, my credit balance become 0, lost all my money. I shut down wifi and try to connect and found out the 3G/edge/gprs is working!!
I called hotlink service center again, this guy said they never help customer to disable any gprs/edge services through telephone, we need to visit maxis service center for that request!! I asked him why they can process my request 2 weeks ago, now can't? He checked back and said, they don't have any record of my name/phone number calling their service center. @#$#@%!

i'm just curious, are you using jail break version or non-jail break? i'm using the non-jail break version, for about 2weeks plus, so far no issue yet. i did turn off the 3G and data roaming. but anyway, i still worry of losing my credit because of EDGE.

non jail break version. turn off 3G and data roaming is not enough. that's why i called maxis to disable my gprs and edge also. use for 2 weeks no problem. suddenly the gprs and edge activated back. I off wifi and 3G just now, launched facebook, still can get notification. check back balance, lost rm3.

*136*4# to disable
*136# to enable

is this workable for turning off DATA service ?
