The WIFI strenght are normally very good, full 3 line. But am just wondering, for certain location (with no WIFI), i couldn't get 3G connection, and it was connected to EDGE (coz i can see from the E sign) will this affect the charges? I thought with Edge u will only get slower speed, is this the case?

Anyway, i dunno how to trace the video size.... lenght of video is 6:29  this is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRxvNhlS4V4 (something to talk about the space saving furniture) maybe someone could enlighten me on this?

Thanks

the video you watch is 23.8mb which works out to be rm238, based on 1mb = rm10
for rm238 you could have 400+ lanun dvd titles rclxms.gif

EDGE is slower than 3G but you are charge on data not speed.

Can use the "enable 3G" setting to off the data usage?
setting <  general < network

Or for this option, 3G is off but Edge will be on?
*
yes EDGE will still be on. use sbsettings on your jb phone to turn off EDGE

i think digi just became the next maxis. soon, everyone will be experiencing high data usage issues. dont know what they did all of a sudden. haihzz

you will need data connection to fully utilized the smart phone. High data usage will be the norm, so i think telco did the right thing by having it 'auto configure' to connect to 3G or Edge/gprs. If you don't need the applications, then why go for iphone ?

still it should be my choice since i am paying for it. they cannot just change it like that.

it's still your choice, you pay if you use. They can just change it and they did. The best solution is to jb and use sbsettings.

So that's mean those iPhone which couldn't activate cellular network before and all of them activated now? Or just me facing this problem?

yup, all Digi users will be affected, it happens to Maxis users before.

hi everyones. i just got my first data charges burned my pocket just now. my situation is like this. today morning suddenly my digi postpaid account achieved credit limit rm280 from data charge. omg i dont even set up my apn gprs setting at my iphone 3gs. how come they charge for it ? when im waiting the customer service at digi center. i met a guy, he is also iphone user. he told me that eventhough u dont set up the apn settings, suft net only use wifi WITHOUT turning off the "DATA" in sbsettings. they still will charge u. everytime after iphone reboot will turn on the "DATA". and he told me that get the " AUTO OFF DATA TOGGLE" from cydia. however i dont manage to get This. did u guys using it ? thanks.

Digi have upgraded their Carrier version. You don't have to do anything, it'll auto configure to connect to the net by the carrier. It's a 'smart' phone anyway.

Hi guys, i am on maxis 1.5 gig data plan. i use my phone to internet teether and overuse above the cap and now my bill came rm1000. Can i do anything about this? I was very careful not to go above the cap but for some reason it counted so on their side.

1. pay up
2. don't pay. line get barred and wait for lawyer letter
3. write an appeal letter to Maxis

Nope you can't. the plan is only for 1 phone number. but if you are using iphone 4, you can use it as modem for internet connection (internet tethering) and chop your streamyx if you're using one at home. that would save you $$ smile.gif

... and kill your iP4 battery along the way rclxms.gif

nope, no such thing. it's either wifi or 3G/Edge. when wifi signal is lost or low, it will switch to 3G/Edge

there's no such thing as card can't be close, even with outstanding auto debit. Go screw the bank officers.
