@hades86 yup from maxis bill.. can log in to maxis website and check.. mine shows like below. not sure where the 4 cents coming from but could be from before I'm on the iValue plan.
@loumou do you have push and notification turned on? that could be onr reason why your data count keep increasing.. I suggest you consider using fake APN. But, if you have push and notification turned on and using fakeAPN at the same time, your battery could possibly drain faster.. QUOTE(hades86 @ Nov 19 2009, 05:05 PM) how do u guys check the data usage from maxis? is it from the maxis bill? my bill doesn't show the usage. thanks This post has been edited by wz3k: Nov 19 2009, 08:10 PM

@wz3k want to check with you, what app did you use since you used about 100MB?

@loumou, If you're using a Maxis SIM U will not see the APN settings; please go to the thread as provided by saksoba to learn more about turning of EDGE: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/868281@wintzen, Any apps that connects U to data will contribute to your 100MB.

QUOTE(jlchannel @ Nov 19 2009, 05:03 PM) Personally I'm a victims. There is no way to turn off 3G or edge in the iPhone. According to Maxis customer support manager, Apple iPhone design such a way which data go first and probably you can turn on Airplane mode. The only thing you can do is call up Telco helpdesk and request for turn off edge, 3G and blacklisted ur phone number for 3G and Edge access. Previously I did that b4 but somehow I will not able subscribe to per hour or per day internet access (Maxis). Hope this is clear. Regards, Malaysia iPhone Fans Club Is it true? I don't have any problem to turn off 3G and Edge for iPhone. All I need to do is, from SBSetting, just off 3G and Edge toggle. It works for me. Plus, I still can subscribe for hour/day mobile Internet. Just turn on the 3G and Edge. Must JB 1st la

@saksoba, I apparently read some forummers are having such issues; am not sure if it's a "real" issue or they just don't know how to switch off the APN. I've not had problems switching APN off even on a non jailbroken set

thanks for the reply but i already triple check my bill and it doesnt show the usage. the obvious reason i could think of is probably the unlimited data plan i take.

@hades86, Yes - if you're on the Unlimited plan, your total data is not shown.

@loumou, Yes but U don't need to JB the phone to switch off APN. How many times have I said to read the pinned threads?! http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/868281

QUOTE(loumou @ Nov 20 2009, 10:51 AM) means if I jb my phone can solve this prob? Might be. As per tinkerbel said, non jb set also can. I assume, APN editing. You can try both ways and find out which one is work for you.

@saksoba, If you're on a Maxis SIM U will need to just create a fake APN profile; won't be able to edit APN cause no APN function

@wintzen my typical daily usage like below, i basically have two "profiles.
1. Outside: Wifi off, fakeAPN off mostly browse internet - read thestar, utusan, forums, facebook, gmail etc.
2. At Home: Wifi on, fakeAPN on downloading apps, youtube video (using MxTube)
I always leave 3G and Edge - ON (SBSetting). So far, using fakeAPN is enough to stop my cellular data. Oh, I also replace the standard "hosts" file to prevent Ads from loading. So far makes my internet surfing faster..

@hk_loo, Because these people aren't subscribed to data services and don't intend to hence in order to avoid paying for data services they disable EDGE
