digi smart plan..check the website out

turn ur iPhone to airplane mode at night during sleep  - tips

hi bro..i have read your problem..well its surprise to hear that maxis have 3g problem over there...than i would say is not worth using it..well you see there two thing you need to consider...its like one gain and one lose...1) im not very sure that digi have data plan on thier list but if they do like maxis try using them....but you need pay for it...2) call the respective telco and disconnect the data service(do not mention ur using iphone) so data you wont be charge for it..but losing end is the notifications..3) try jailbreaking then use sbs setting to off your data so that in wont be charge unnecessarily and use processes on sbs to make the mail and safari app to not work in the background...

Thanks....will check om the package later and seems like this is the best bet for now....
Problem is RM68 is still out of my desired spending for monthly telco fees..
Thanks bro I actually using a jb iphone and sbsetting to turn off the data d but somehow while I'd scarifiedthe push capabilities I still got charged on the data....

since you dont need data...any only uses wifi..try calling the cs of maxis or digi..and disconnecting the data service for your line..then you dont need to worried of the data leakage.

Hi guys...I'm a Maxis iValue 100 subscriber and my contract will end this weekend and I'm happy enough to jump ship to DIGI when the time arrived. I'm desperately need to jump because for the past year I'd paid the RM100++ for nothing but some RM20++ worth of phone calls because there is no 3G coverage at my house / residential area. (I'm not from kampung tho but I stay in Taman Sri Nibong which is a stone throw away from QBM which is the biggest shopping mall in Penang!!! The situation never change even after complaints).

So I try to find a suitable plan for my future iphone usage; as u know I'll only spend around 20++ only on phone call every month so I can easily get any prepaid other than Maxis which after some surfing around the net I decided that digi prepaid will be the best choice. I bought a prepaid to try out the 3g coverage and it's good and  quite wide coverage with only the cons is the speed can't match the maxis one. I don't mind at all coz what I need is coverage not speed. The digi even come in RM5 maximum per day charge on data usage which is sweet coz I can even do a tether on my pc when the ever unreliable  P1 Wimax (which is next on my list to get rid of!!!) failed.

After 3 days of testing my nightmare begins : you know why?
Because I got charge RM5 for the last 3 days and only the 1st day I really use the data that much and after some finding I discovered that it's not Digi's fault....it's because iPhone will consume data even in standby mode when you are not launching any apps...as you may know the mail and safari apps are not kill able. In 5 to 6 hours time it's enough to consume 500KB which had let to RM5 charges on the data...and that means by doing nothing you'll have o pay RM 150 for a prepaid plan which don't even include the voice call!!! I'd try to turn off the data and even try to plug in the power (then the wifi will always ON) but it will still consume data on the iphone. The turn off data work out to be the best bet but by turning off the data you lost all the Push capability which will render your iPhone useless anyway...

Does it meant if you want to use iPhone you have to subscribe to those expensive data plan even in reality you don't even wanna use them that much coz wifi is ubiquitous nowadays. I'm puzzled and confused now coz there is no telco offering you mid range data plan in any kind of form. It's either 100KB or 3GB for u!
Hope that somebody with greater knowledge can give me some advice.

im using prepaid, iphone 3gs...non-jailbreak~
the charges for edge/gprs is very expensive~i wanted to stick to wireless only, can i disable the data by keying *136*4# and press “call" on my phone?

OR i still ned to contact maxis to disable it??

my phone bill (celcom) - for data plan - charge me RM85++ for the usage. i did not subscribe to anything.

worst part is, did call the celcom CS. ask them to block it or disable. they said cant. the funniest reason they told that im using maxis line (mine is 012 but port over to celcom for the past 1 year). they keep on said cannot disable (i didnt tell them im using iphone). haiii...

look like i need to subscribe to data plan unlimited RM68 from celcom. haiii...

y go for celcom when u can get digi smart plan? digi smart plan offers u discount u noe bro?

subscribe to celcom data plan rm68 unlimited per month.

story: -

Went to celcom branch on yesterday morning. fill-in the form and sign it. told by the counter customer service - the line with be activated with 24 hours.

So follow-up call at almost 5pm yesterday. called 1111 line, told by operator that they having a high volume incoming call. so finally speak to the CS. the CS ask me to speak louder, turn the volume up. i already turn to 9/10 volume and speak loud. finally, check the status. to my amazed, she told me, the activate of 24 hours, is following working hours.

meaning working hours = 8 hours. so need to wait 3 days for it. i was shocked when hearing it.

later in the night, call CS again. told the data plan already activated. can start using now.

soooooo disappoint with their customer service.

Call them, don't tell them you are on iphone, tell them block data, then ok liao~"

If block data then the MMS will be disabled right? Im using version 3.1.2 and although i have toggle off the 3G, DATA and EDGE, the cellular network data shows 795kb sent and 2.2 MB received. Any solutions? Im wasting hundred of ringgit because of this. Tq.
