any comments for these 2 telco? This is because I'm planning to get an iPhone from either Digi or Maxis...however,my are in mlk no 3G coverage for digi...less for digi...but Maxis has a wide 3G coverage in mlk n any other places too...

can anyone share with ur experiences for that? whether which 1 is more stable in edge or won't lag for too long...

if skype by using edge...is that smooth for skype?thanks

Cellular data option is for iOS 4 onwards.
You need to ON data (3G or EDGE or GPRS) to use MMS.
WIthout data you can only call and SMS.

3G, EDGE and GPRS are DATA connection with different speed.
So turning OFF Cellular Data in iOS4 will cut this off completely. A feature included by Apple to help avoid over usage of data.

It all boiled down to coverage first then contract commitment than only the price/bill. What good if the price is RM200 cheaper but tied to the telco for 24months, what good if the coverage at your area is bad, etc. SO if your area no 3G coverage, you ll not be able to fully able to optimize your phone and wasting time.

need some advised.
im thinking of buying iphone 4, but havent decide form maxis n digi.
i already read all the threads, but i still have few ques..

i currently lived in kangar, only maxis has 3G coverage, digi only gprs.
if i use maxis, is it enough if i subscribe to idata3 (3G rm99) by maxis if i only on facebook, chat n surfing?
if i use digi, they have that unlimited 3G line permonth u just pay rm58, but kangar do not have 3G coverage, will use gprs. did digi charged for gprs usage?

pls help me..

gprs is still considered a data service. grps, edge n 3g is the same thing, juz varying by speeds.

gprs is really slow so i dont see the point of u going for digi. facebook, chat n surfing, idata 500mb shud be enough. unless u youtube n tether

how about if im using skype?
does it take a lots of data?

Wow...Seem like Maxis not a good compare to Digi...a lot of hidden cost.

i got my phone on 23rd and until now the data counter in iphone is only about 35MB, send n receive. but my charges is already 200+. even if i included my previous call charges before change to ivalue also too over, my previous charges before changing to ivalue is only 40 bucks... what are maxis doing man... @@

Did you buy the phone by EPP?

ya. the epp included in the charges ???
i tot the epp was charge under my credit card

Maxis have to bill it first then credit it back to you. No invoice no pay. You can call customer service to verify but thats your answer.

lots of other users have this problem too. hopefully maxis will rectify this before u get billed

all the more reason for me to get prepaid lol

i think for the moment have to wait until i get my bill by end of the month den i can check with maxis
calling cs sometimes wont help... ==
as they will be telling different story... i prefer walk in to maxis center.

guys, i try to sent mms to my friend this morning, then it says that "Could not activate cellular data network".
i check my setting n the cellular data option is set to on.
i think maxis is messing up my line.

i have contract upgrade this friday and my unbill charges was RM40 before that and this morning receive sms from maxis saying that my usage is nearing the credit limit which is RM1500.....data usage is 400mb......it has never happened before....but i guess they will waive it since i am with ivalue 3

Check and see if you can make calls or not. That happened to me this morning and found out that my line was barred. Exceeded credit limit.

i can make calls, send sms, but i cant connect to internet or send mms.
my friend send me a mms, each time i open the msg app, it will popup the msg "Could not activate cellular data network".
i have to hit cancel evrytime i try to send msges.
its damn annoying...

guys...may i know edge speed also depends on the area coverage right? if using edge for skype...is that ok n no problem?

is your units jailbreak ? if yes , please check general - about--carrier version- Digi-maxis 8.1 ? if yes..i face this problem too..only my ip4 (non jailbreak unit is ok on both network carrier version 8.1)
Maybe need more people to identify

Is there any easy way to check data usage? Have to keep track of our billing cycle as well? Maxis have no service to check our current data usage of the month is it?
