@honkit,
Deactivate by calling Maxis? Er.. U mean they agreed to de-activate your 3G/EDGE via their system? Didn't know that could be done but that's good

@zwanvedder,
Okie doKies - will give that suggestion to other forummers should the need arise in future

@denniswwm,
So this problem everyone's facing (problem: getting slapped with hefty telco bills) is not applicable to U

@kokocrun,
Refer to the pinned threads and follow instructions on Internet Tethering. Well I've recently started Tweeting and I send most of my tweets via the iPhone so I guess that takes up some data.

@wc5599,
It's not like you gonna get loads of MMS. Alternatively, the 500MB data package cost only RM68 p/month.

@iphoneiphone,
I don't religiously check it but thus far it's been quite accurate (plus minus 10%)

@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.

@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

@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

@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

@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

@tabs,
Yes DiGi recently introduced their 3G services; I believe this is not the right forum to discuss DiGi's 3G services - if u want a proper discussion, go do it at uhm... *thinks for a bit* http://forum.lowyat.net/DiGiBroadband

@loumou,
U should switch 3G on - that should trigger EDGE to be switched on too, no?! Ah well.... might as well just toggle both on and off lah And use 3G cause it's faster *smiles*

@12321,
You have to take both upload + download. Also, are U sure U didn't reset your Usage? Did U JB ur phone?! 30MB & 700MB is a huge difference!

@Cyan7,
I don't think it's possible to go 'over' by so much; but U roughly will know if you did use so much or not; 700MB is indeed a lot - did U do a lot of downloads via your iPhone - esp App updates perhaps? Some apps can be really gigantic!

@12321,
If you're data is disabled, how do U post comment on forum and on FB, unless you're on Wifi? If you aren't that means U haven't disabled 3G/EDGE on your phone. Posting comments via FB shouldn't take up much; viewing LYN will probably be more because there are more picture files and there isn't a mobile version for LYN - still, 700MB is wayyyyy overboard IMO.

@12321,
I somehow suspect something in the background is running; as tnsai has mentioned, it's really not *that* possible to go overboard by so much. I don't even use half of what you use in a month!

I've been tracking mine for the last 2 months:-
September : 95,194kb
October : 127,677kb

@12321,
I don't bother disabling APN since I've a data service plan; though I've done it before during the i3G days [that time, no data plan yet *grins*].

Will share this months' usage when I get it; bill cycle is 7th of the month. I also did track for Jul & August but I didn't write that down. If I'm not mistaken, Jul was like <25MB and August was <50MB

@Cyan7,
Er but I wasn't using that much then; was still trying to get a feel of what I should do on the go plus like everyone else, I wasn't very sure how much 500MB would last me; actually, I was on the RM99 unlimited plan when I started but after having seen the amount of data usage, I decided to sign up for iData 2 and save my $ instead when I made the i3GS purchase via Maxis
