guys, how much maxis charge for 1mb online?

1mb is rm10 ...

regarding Maxis 3G rate, is it "cheap" compare to other telco in Malaysia? perhaps, other than Malaysia? i think its quite expensive liao.

@loumou,
Maxis charges for data are based on p/kb download usage. It's at 1sen/kb but if you're on a subscribed plan, it drops to 0.5sen/kb.

wow...1mb rm10....that's kind of costly.....
anyone knows is there any daily or hourly online subcription for maxis??
i heard they do have rm2 per hour / daily pass -rm8

anyone can clarify this?

@loumou,
Yes Maxis does have daily/hourly pass. Please get more information from www.maxis.com.my

how can we do that.. mind to guide me...

Thanks a lot for the info

last time i suscribe RM8 for 5mb ... see the different ? if i pay per use, it is RM50 ... but i save RM42 from the plan ...

I have changed to Digi from Maxis and register for the Digi Unlimited 58 Plan, but I found out my phone has disable the Tethering function. Anyone know what is the problem? Digi doesn't allow to have tethering?

@ilyas_jamal,
Please refer to pinned threads on how to disable APN. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/868281

@zijian,
Internet Tethering apparently has been disabled across all non-official networks. Pop a Maxis SIM in and ta-dah, U get Internet Tethering again At this point, nothing can be done, I think.

in other words, only official telco such as maxis is tethering enable.

read this if u want to enable urs

Just got my iPhone. I was checking with a few maxis customer service ppl abt tracking data usage. Unfortunately most of them told me that you can only check at the end of yourbilling cycle. One lady told me I can check via *100# but itried without success. maxis CS (123) also can't give me my data usage.

My question is, how are you guys tracking your data usage? Using iPhone itself is the only option I have currently but maxis CS told me it is not accurate. Looking at forums I read that some discrepency may occur because of packet loss, but that should be be alot.

hello guys,

im using an iphone 2g, but the bill includes a 3g data usage...?

i would like to know how are the mobile internet(3g data usage) for celcom postpaid being charged?
what kinda apps would attract these kinda data usage fees?

a few of the apps im using(which i think are related) are like irealsms and swirlymms2.
i seriously did not know iphone 2g would have any 3g data usage fees. im using everything via wifi and have not browsed thru anything via wap.

anybody can help me clarify this? need some advice.
thanks alot! =)

you gprs maybe. jb -> sbsetting -> off gprs

@wz3k,
U can use the iPhone to track your data Usage. If you haven't jailbroken ur phone the information on Usage is quite accurate. Also, please take into account both upload and download data.

@anti-LAx2,
So as long as you're connected and using data services u will be charged. The i2G does not have 2G capabilities but it would have GPRS/EDGE capabilities logging U onto the internet. You can disable data if U wish by tweaking APN. To know how to do that, please check out the pinned threads.

3G is just a denomination of speed.

celcom probably just clumped the entire internet usage (2G, 2.5G, 3G, HSDPA) to 3G.

at the end of the day, you are being charged based on your usage (nothing to do with your speed)

hence, it doesn't make difference if you have used 1MB on gprs or 1MB on 3G

Thanks tinkerbel. Mind to clarify what cause jailbroken phone data statistics to be inaccurate? I have fakeAPN on all the time unless when I want to connect. I also disable ads using the hosts file already.. thanks

@wz3k,
I've NO idea what causes the data to be inaccurate but most people here on a jailbroken set reports the data usage statistics to be inaccurate. I haven't jailbroken my phone n thus far data usage statistics seem to match my Maxis bills.

Another thing to take note is to make sure your fake APN is indeed working; some people have reported it doesn't work on theirs.
