before you complain in here, check you don't have apps running in the background that fetch data.
Check that in email, Fetch is set to Manually Check that Notifications is set to off for all your apps Monitor your usage and let us know. |

for people tied to a contract, they can't just change to <cheap provider> can they? all they want to do is to be able to control their data usage, and this thread is supposed to help with that.

lol yea for me it doesnt say no celular data. all it does is it tries to connect, but it doesnt manage to. so im assuming that no data is received...
...i might be wrong...if u use SBsettings to off 3G and EDGE, all u have is GPRS right? do u use SBsettings as well? |

i shall quote myself again.
QUOTE just tested. iPhone will not be able to access the internet if: 1. Place gibberish words in APN settings 2. Disable 3G and EDGE via SBSettings iPhone will still be able to access if you did not implement any 1 of the 2 steps stated above. To be safe, turn off Location Services and Push as well. FakeAPN or other methods will not work anymore as according to Superman7, 3G/EDGE usage is activated through Maxis, rather than being determined by the APN. QUOTE(Superman7 @ Dec 25 2009, 02:54 PM) I called up maxis center and they confirmed that the settings on the iPhone for the APN settings is not changeable. This post has been edited by teikwing: Jan 6 2010, 09:35 AMIt is a direct activation of the GPRS/EDGE/3G from maxis itself. I guess at the moment to avoid unnecessary billing, you could call up maxis to deactivate/disable your GPRS/EDGE/3G settings. Once that is done, the unnecessary charges caused by your iPhone will no longer happen. That is a pain in the @ss thing to do if you need to use your data the next time. You will have to call maxis to reactivate it again. According to standard leadtime, activation and deactivation of the settings will that 2 hours. I just wonder, by JB the phone and installing SBsettings, will this solve the problem? The SBsettings should be able to disable both 3G and EDGE at the same time right? Anybody with experience of disabling both 3G and EDGE with SBsettings and edited the APN with nonsense info still having data charges iccured? |

Hi all, I'm on Celcom and found that iphonenodata does not work but when I tested DIGI ok. So right now I am trying with Fake APN and using SBSettings to turn off 3G/Edge. So far data usage is 0 for the past 24 hours. Don't know if this is effective to totally stop data usage.

Something pretty interesting happened today... like a few pages back I'd mentioned that my first month bill data charges was a whopping RM180+ because I was not aware my cut-off date is on 24th of every month. I registered on the 17th of Dec in this 7 days time my data usage is more than 150MB.
Since this is my first month using Maxis so I thought maybe I should try my luck to ask for some discount. So I wrote them an email saying that I was not aware of my cut-off and my data usage was overboard so please give me some rebate. Few days later which is today, surprisingly they called and said they will give RM100 discount on the data charges! Checked on the *100# service menu, indeed there is a -RM100 in my account. So at least Maxis is doing something good while there line quality is extremely bad... |
