@Ken,
Yes of course u can do that. Please read through the pinned threads if you're a new user of the iPhone. @saksoba, I have my emails being checked 24/7, leave some IM applications switched on and do the routine internet browsing and 500MB is more than suffice. As to downloading apps from apple store, if the app is bigger than 10MB it won't be downloadable via the iPhone and most of the time, in order not to go beyond my limit, I leave those downloads for when i'm on wifi and not 3G. |

QUOTE(sideways @ Nov 4 2009, 10:59 AM) cool. They will block your line 1st, unless you pay up. It will remain blocked, until they finished checking every damn thing which they actually have no way of checking.what's the usage shown on your phone btw ?

QUOTE(ericlks91 @ Nov 4 2009, 04:21 PM) i m wondering which plan should i choose(i m a digi customer) The 333 minutes is not a free talk time between Maxis to Maxis. It is an estimated amount of time that is applicable under Ivalue Plan 1 based on the 15 cents/min rate and at the quota of RM50-50 for calls and data. The talk-time is not limited to calls made to Maxis only, you can make calls to Digi and Celcom and still being charged at 15 cents/minute. i dont really know about the postpaid plan..the ivalue plan it says free 333mins of talk time only maxis to maxis? which means if i make a call to digi i have to pay extra after the 100 i paid no matter if i used up 333 mins or not? 2.btw i m not a person who always call or sms..i just want the iphone for surfing the internet.. i hope u can help me and give me some opinion thx However, do take note that SMS to other network providers will be charged on top of your RM100 commitment fee. |
