Got one question here. I already disable all my 3G, Data Roaming and Location Services.

So far, from day 1 until last month, my phone bill just like usual, i just paid for all the calls and smses.

But this month, i found out there is another charges due to internet data usage which cost me around RM170.

FYI, i bought my iphone from Maxis thru prepaid package on end of JUL-09

Anyone face this problem before? Is there any problem with my phone?

could be when you use wifi and the wifi signal is weak, it use cellular data ?

RM170 should be 16MB

I already installed those fake APN thingy when i got my iphone and it works all the while until the month of OCT.

But i already put a full stop for all 3G, GPRS and edge by calling maxis. mad.gif

it means they not yet block your 3G ?

if they charge you on data means you are still accesing their data services

i already use iphone since november 2009 and i never has this issue ...

the over charge is due to several reasons.

1. use the data before the plan is activated, need 10 hours ++ for activation according maxis. before use the data plan, call maxis CS and check is the plan activate or not. else ... pay per use 1M is RM10 ... hehe

2. jailbreak the phone, then data counter in iphone went wrong totally. my data counter and the data usage from maxis bill is 95% match. last month even reach 99% match ...
