maxis shud provide unlimited data plan...everyday i need to check my data usage...

or an apps to clearly stated how much we had used =X

Maxis used to have unlimited access data plan. I'm actually using it right now.

I'm on unlimited data usage plan too.

hmmm...i just helped my father to apply iphone 3Gs 16gb...How do i comfirm that i totally are not using INTERNET or data transfer AT ALL? I scare my father simply press and use and exceed the limit then GG liao ==
Anyone can help?how to totally disable data transfer/internet?

good luck to you. it's not so easy to disable the data.

my friend is using 3GS. She spent like RM10 per day for nothing -.-" she suspect the phone using internet even though she off 3G and data roaming. izzit the app ads cause that?? she doesnt download apps using 3G

what you mean it's hard to disable the data? i read previous post...all say call maxis centre ask them close ?

my friend went to maxis center few times. they said cant do that. in order to fully disable data usage, turn to flight mode but u cant receive calls and sms

i think if i fully didnt touch maxis internet...just use internet via wifi available place such as college...i'm as safe as i'm paying?

make sure u guys not connected to the low signal wifi when doing safari.
just happen on my friend. playing facebook and check on some photo in
a low signal cafe. the wifi connection D/C from the cafe and iphone connected to maxis 3G automatically. .

monthly bill just arrived and cost him $380.

i am still finding a way to stop the gprs/3G connection for my wife iphone3gs.
iphonenodata is not working on the latest. is that JB the only way to stop the Data ?

again n again..y dun u check back few pages back and there is solution for u all... juz call to maxis CS and ask them 2 disable all ur edge/gprs/3g connection without telling them u r using iPhone

ya,but for now,new user and new registration, no more unlimited lor..

just to confirm statement from Digi customer service ...

The RM88 plan with Iphone 3Gs.

I been told that the usage of the internet 1G is free......

Once you reach the limit of 1G, you transfer speed will be slow down.

Is that true.............????

Yes,DiGi is unlimited, the fullspeed (if u can get it) till 1GB limit, then it slows down to GPRS....but data still free after that....

Added on May 8, 2010, 2:09 pmJust for those who were asking, iPhones are set to access data ALL the time.... examples:-

Mail.... once open, it does not close... its always running in the background, even u exit the app..... and if yr setting is default, it will always check for new mails....

Apps: Most FREE or LITE apps has ads.... these ads are dl-ed off the air via yr data...

Notifications: most push notifications apps (mails, IMs, Facebook, Tweets, RSS) all are data sent to you...

Location services: Some apps asks to use yr location, but not all uses the GPS chip, instead they get yr location data via the phone broadcast stations (aka A-GPS)... these are data...

GPS: Apps like Maps, Google Maps and GPS starts with A-GPS, which triangulate yr location using phone broadcast station... and then dl maps from Google... all are data...

Auto Lock: When iPhone goes into auto-lock, the WIFI is set OFF.... so if yr apps or mail or browser is dl-ing when the iPhone auto-locks, it uses 3G or EDGE or GPRS to continue dl-ing.... and thats data...

So, by the list above.... even if you dont SURF using Safari or Opera, u will still leak data...

Oh.... and u cant disable EDGE or GPRS from the Phone.... unless u..... do something i cant mention here....

Maxis and DiGi will not be so dumb to completely disable yr data plan as they know this is where they make money.... u think they subsidize almost RM1000 off smartphones just because they are doing YOU a service, or they have too much money and they wanna share it with you.... LOLZ...

Thats the cost of owning a smart-data usage-phone... get it if u know what you are getting into, and have a data plan ready....

@Poadster
"Oh.... and u cant disable EDGE or GPRS from the Phone.... unless u..... do something i cant mention here...."

What do you meant you can't mention here? illegal for doing that?
I thought there are those posts like jailbreak and etc which i don't understand well...those are legal?

U can no longer post details about Jailbreaks, whats it about, how to do it, and what to do after JB...

So only with JB can u disable EDGE and GPRS.....

But then, inside Cydia there are ads that can leak data from yr iphone.... my unit has all data, 3G, EDGE, GPRS set to off... only WiFi is on, and yet it still leaked 3Kb data some how....

Luckily i have DiGi's 1GB plan.... but i use it when i not using home, ofc or free Wifi...

then can i personally contact you via msn or anything?please i seriously want to solve this problem because my father sign the maxis plan...i scare he simply open web can use over 1gb and he dont know about that.

Meaning.....If i use Digi....the data download is free....

So i can active my mail box anyway i go....

ONLY if you are subscribed to the iPhone plans (i88, i138 or 1238) or the RM68 internet unlimited or the smartphone plans.... all of these DiGi plans has some data plan attached...

Lets say u get i88 which has 1GB... the total data u can get is actually unlimited.... so u can get up to 10GB (if u can get that much mail + data + internet + porn per month) all at same RM88 per month.... so yes, u can activate yr mailbox all the time, anywhere...

Only diff is your initial 1GB will be at 3G speeds.... after that DiGi will throttle your data speed to EDGE or GPRS (meaning slow as hell for internet, but still ok for mails)...
