QUOTE(vui_msia @ May 24 2009, 03:30 PM) Hi you sure it is NOT INCLUDED WIFI usage? Mine up to 8GB last month. I was shock as well, i connected to WIFI most of the time, at home, at office. It does not include WIFI..you can try it for yourself. Sometimes when your 3G and WIFI is turned off it utilizes the EDGE...so be careful ...Fortunately, i just received this month phone bills from Maxis, it shows i only utilised 120MB only. |

QUOTE(yewjin @ May 21 2009, 11:45 AM) NEWS HIGHLIGHT You're dead.I have been using the iValue plan 100 (500 MB data plan) and iValue plan 155 (1GB data plan - got two plans under me) for the last 2 months. First month bill not a problem. However on the second month when I received the bill I got a shock of my life that they charge me RM250 extra for my iValue Plan 100. You see, we have been very careful when it comes to using our datas - to not exceed them always checking on the settings > general > usage on the iPhone. My last month usage for the plans were 420 MB (for iValue 100) and 320 MB (for iValue 155) - from checking the iPhone usage BUT when the bill came - my iValue 100 was 580 MB however my iValue 155 was correct at 320 MB. I have to pay an additional RM250 for the 80MB! My question is that if there was a variance between the iPhone usage indicator and Maxis billing, it should be +/- maybe 50 MB but the variance is a whopping 160MB!!! I complained to Maxis and one of the staff couldn't understand what I was talking about and just say that it was cheap already. Wah, damn irritating man when talking to her - seems like it was the time of the month. Slammed the phone down and called another staff - This one wrote in a complain for me. Have anyone of you face this problems as well? Is there a big difference from your iPhone usage indicator compared to your bill? Feedback appreciated. When it comes to pay per usage (for each KB above a particular cap of a package), Maxis can always overcharge you, and you can say nothing about it because you can't keep a tangible evidence of how much data EXACTLY that you have used. Yes, if you allow Maxis to indicate your bills without your OWN supervision, you die. This post has been edited by Deadlocks: May 24 2009, 09:34 PM |

QUOTE(shumaky @ May 25 2009, 05:07 AM) Before begin test After using 300MB+ via WIFI do DL Podcast and Safari After 30mins of playing CozyQuest via EDGE. WLAN turned Off. So this more or less confirms that the usage shows over the air cellular data transfers and does not include WIFI. |
