I'm on iValue 1 Plan...Tried but No such facility!! Sorry...

reporting in on my third month on iValue1 package.

So far i'm using WAY below than my allocation of 500MB, I don't bother to use FakeAPN, just leave 3G on all the time. Basically as long as you don't install apps which leech bandwidth, push email etc you should be okay.

My wife is a heavier user of her 500MB plan, so far she's only clocked at 300MB which was reflected accurately in her iphone's data counter (mine too).

i wonder how do most people finish the bandwidth ..
even i got 3GB limit .. but i never seldom use it because afraid battery will run out before i get home ..

well bro...for me..i have an extra battery pack where i will carry it on..using 3g is not harm for me....normal browsing never take much..mostly i have high usage when i tethered...

I just got my iphone roughly 2 months ago and the phone bill is really killing me! I'm currently using the 3gs and one thing I'd like to check: how do we know whether the iphone is running on either E/3g? The E/3g signal at the top left is grey coloured when phone not in use and when I use the phone (e.g. sms and stuffs), it turns to blue. Does this means that the Edge or 3g is running?

Basically, does all applications in iphone is charged into our phone bill? Currently, I'm using the family plan. Would it be better if I convert it to the iData plan?

Please advice me as my bill monthly is around 400+! I would really consider selling the phone away!!

yes me too ... no problem all since the first month i use it ...

i believe those get discrepancy between bill and phone counter is because they JB it ....

If the E/3G logo is shown, that means that you're able to connect to internet (the colour of it doesn't matter).

If the application you used are with push notification or will load any content of internet (e.g. mail, safari, youtube etc) you will be charge for the amount of data you used.

Best solution for you is to get data plan add-on or call Maxis to disable cellular data for your account.

cheers.

p.s. No offence, but I still can't get it why some ppl can use iPhone without any access to internet or subsribe to data plan
internet connectivity is required in order to maximise the usage of these smart phones (i.e. iPhone, Android, Blackberry, WebOS and etc)
Please do some research before jumping on this platform just because it is cool , be a smart user

Then is it possible to track the internet usage of the iphone? Cause I would like to know roughly how much Ive used per month to apply the idata plan.

And also, disable cellular data doesn't help a thing. I've closed 3g function, and it uses gprs. Bill is a total nonsense! So how do I activate the idata plan? Calling 123 does anything??

To track usage go to Setting>General>Usage (I reset it every month to track my monthly usage)

Turning off 3G doesn't mean that you're disabling cellular data. To disable cellular data completely you need to call maxis to disable it for you.
as for adding data plan to your line, I'm not to sure what is required, just give maxis a buzz

Thanks psyeo. I've just called 123 to change the plan to idata. And i'll see how much is the phone bill by end of this month. thanks alot!

Suggestion...when using WiFi, set 2Airplane mode. That way yr iPhone will NOT auto-use 3G, Edge or GPRS!! B safe...

and you won't be able to receive incoming call ?

Hi all..
I've installed the ipcc file following the newbie iphone topic guide, now i can go to cellular data network and set the APN to 'abc123'.. after that i reboot my iphone and try using the internet without wifi... it still uses either 3G (if it is on) or Edge/GPRS!.. i checked the cellular data usage it is still going up

What gives? Help!! the data fee is eating me up..
I'm using 3.1.3 version though so can't jailbreak.. and i don't want to pay RM58 (rip off in my opinion.. they should revise the pricing to RM20 500mb, RM40 1.5GB and RM60 unlimited..)

no one is forcing you to sign up in the 1st place.

u guys on maxis wat the hell la..just use postpaid value50..add value10 = rm 8
then get the 250mb for 30bux..enuff to just surf on the phone..rm88 a month
was on prepaid and using almost 200 a month

?????????? i don't think you get me, yes no one is forcing me to sign up, but if i can't off the 3g/edge, what other clever suggestion you have? don't sign up and pay RM100 for 10mb usage?

Added on March 25, 2010, 4:09 pmjust called them.. only if you get the iphone value plan from maxis only can subscribe the 250mb 30bux thingy.. i got my iphone from my bro so i can't subscribe that one...

just call the CS to terminate ur edge/gprs/3g la

If terminate edgr/gprs/3g, mms cant send rgt?

i'm on the Digi 3G Unlimited Data plan @ RM 48 per month (since I registered last year). it's quite flawless when using Internet tethering on my iPhone 3GS at open areas or in my house near the windows. the only thing is, Digi needs to seriously improve on their indoor coverage as once you are inside a place with many walls, the connection really drops.

try your luck at maxis centre..if one of them is blur like the one i got, u can get it
