@ryan_giggs,
You can continue with some form of data plan when your current contract ends; also it's not going to end soon plus by the time it ends, you'll be so used to having the world at ur finger tips U probably don't want to let go of 3G.

As to how to change APN, please refer to the pinned threads.

Hahaha.......you are right, bro! I'm so get to use 3G now and i think by the time i finish the contract, i cannot live without 3G

Thanks for the APN link!

let me point out the obvious for your tinkerbel!

once you have read this, you can go ahead and make my post go invisible

Sigh, it's not the fear of using cellular network on IPhone, it is to allow us to control our usage.. even if so.. I got money, I like, I buy the Iphone.. what's it to you??

Can the IPod touch make calls? can it sms??? no? Does it have GPS? no? So, just leave your own comments to yourself.

changing apn means cant retrieve/send mms also?

Maxis has done it again, over billing me for data usage eventhough i am on the RM88 plan and I am well below the usage. Apparently I did not activate the plan when I called them last time, of which I am 100% certain that I did because I made sure the CS repeated the confirmation. Right now, I am waiting for their manager to call me back. This is too much. Been a loyal customer of Maxis for 8 years and this is the kind of shit I get.

The 1st time this happened was in July when I activated the RM99 unlimited package (discontinued since) and overcharged for July, Aug and Sept because apparently it was not activated when I called up in Sept to ask about my bill. To cut a long story short, I told them to check back their voice recordings and the result of that was, they refunded me RM400 plus for overpayment.

I am not a person that checks the bill every month but from now one, I will because of what they are doing and how their stupid system works!

tats the thing dude...

u want mobility, get iphone...it connects u anytime....control? control urself....get a tool for tat or manage urself..

jz as a game device? itouch works fine, and don need worry about paying bill...call/sms? jz get a cheap phone will do...

depends wat ur requirement....i jz don see a point y one keep complaining of the connectivity since this is why an iphone worth to buy for...

if u think i offending u for this...then i ll remain silent after this....

for general iphone user wannabe...think before u buy...if u want the connection, stop piss about the connection...i don mind u piss Maxis for the plan rate tot
but it still cheaper compare to celcom!

I don't get what you are on about, I never complained on the connectivity of the IPhone etc.. In fact I like that it keeps looking for the connection I want to access the net when I WANT IT TO. I am just offering my help to people who wants to control their usage hence I advice the use of fake APN settings.

We ARE all pissing about the plan rate, not so much about the IPhone's connection and hence people are looking for a way to make sure they don't overuse.

Learn to read please.

I would say, the phone should not take the blame as it work in the way it should be. But instead, the problems came from the data plan.

Nowadays, people are going for ALL-IN-ONE device where by it save your time and hassle. What is the point of bringing an iPod & Nokia 3310 together where u got the opportunity of having an iPhone that can do all the thing right..

I totally agreed on this. I'm a suckers on Apple stuff and the list is growing.

i want to know...
i want to take the ivalue 100 which the iphone 3gs will cost 1990..
if i dont even use the maxis number, do i will be charged more than 100??
have anyone experience that??

@ichuck,
If U don't use, meaning you're going to forgo the entire RM100 p/month for the duration of the contract, it is cheaper for U to buy the phone at a higher price from the 'black market'.

And to answer ur question, U will be charged RM100 + whatsoever Value Added Service u added + 5% GST so ur bill will probably come to about RM100+

then is there anyway to completely disable 3g/EDGE,,
so that i will not be charge for excessive used.?

@ichuck,
The Value Added Services I mention are things like itemised billing, etc. Yes it is possible to completely turn of data services on the iPhone.

im not so clear about the value added service??
is it the overuse of the call sms and wht so ever?

@ichuck,
No, if U don't intend to use the line at all then u won't haf to worry about overuse of call charges and SMS charges, etc. It is things like call forwarding, call waiting, itemised billing, etc. Just cancel those and I think your bill should be RM100+5% GST.

owh i see..
what abot if i used it?
not included the 3g..
i will definitely don want to use the 3g service...
cuz im afraid to be charged xtra for that..

@ichuck,
As part of the iValue plans, if U don't use more than what is given to U then no need to pay extra. If you use extra then U just haf to pay.

now digi 3g have a new unlimited plan for rm48 (3 gig data, after 3gig limit will throttle down to gprs/edge, no more any excess charges)... times to change to digi, lolz.....but only available in Penang and Kota Kinabalu for the time being.... Klang Valley not yet available....
