?????????? 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?

just 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... sad.gif

Guys, i'm a bit confuse here. Say if i would to take iValue1 from Maxis, do i need to subscribe to data plan as well? I thought with iValue1, there is already a free 500MB data comes with it, no?

@chtan,
You won't need to sign up for any extra plans if the plan oredi comes with free data biggrin.gif U will however need to pay should ur data usage exceed the 500MB.

I think they still have a lot of stock over here in Penang. Guess the demand is a bit slow over here.

no, it's actually the user who is stupid coz Maxis is the one who is profiting rclxms.gif

you can ask them to block you but once you reboot/restart your phone, it will auto connect again. Smart phone rclxm9.gif

but if i'm not mistaken, Digi is one flat rate for all networks across the country rite? so doesn't matter if your friends are on digi, maxis, or celcom, etc....

correct me if i'm wrong.

they told me the same too, cannot disable it. so i just login to my account, uncheck the 3G and problem solve. when i need to use 3G, i just send *136# to activate it and login to account to disable it again when i dont need it anymore.

LOL....... overhit my 500mb limit by 120mb
zzzzzzz.... bill came out to be RM1300++

.... after the rebate... haihz... paying rm200 more. zzzzz
haihz... without an app to keep track the usage. gonna be hard to estimate.
the iphone default usage is pretty much inaacurate.

it just showed 400mb++ of usage(inclusive up/download).
the amount of data usage deviated by a whooping 200mb++ leh.

@ahnien,
It's weird ur data counter is off by so much; maybe because ur on a JB set.

Also just what haf u been using the phone for? I've never managed to fully utilise my 500MB.

dint manage to JB the phone due to some complications during restore on the 1st week of usage. was unable to restore it back to 3.1.2 and now stucked with 3.1.3. fw.

to be precise. upload is at 41mb. download is at 401mb.

ermm... daily facebook-ing(4-5times daily). livescore(3-4times a weekend). google maps (less than 10times during last month). downloading some apps(though MOST apps are downloaded with wifi or from itunes). below average gaming (with auto scores uploading etc feats from the games)

but for now, i guess i will use wifi whenever i can. since i have wifi in my office, and at my house as well.

aiks... paying rm200 more T_T

If you download software thru. WIFI, do make sure that your phone is not go into sleep mode. Once in sleep mode, the WIFI will cut itself off after 4mins and your phone will switch to 3G to continue your download. This can fill up your monthly data allocation easily without your knowing.
