Yup, I am on IValue plan but I asked for itemized billing ... and here is the cost of 32mb of data used

Bill Snippet
To mods : I know I've posted this in another thread before, but some of the folks here might not have seen it, so I hope to just give them an idea on how expensive the data charges are and to be careful.

.. about RM 1 per 200KB

where the 32mb item ?

i saw the 187 being rebated only

thats why i curious why people prefer to buy iphone with no data plan as the pay per use is so espensive ... 1mb for RM10 ...

It's a conspiracy theory on my part, but perhaps the lack of a "tracking" system is to let us go overzealous on our data usage and get charged a hefty sum? (As I said, it could be just me)

yes, the pay per use is so espensive ... 1MB is RM10 ...

I have an issue here. I am using Iphone 3gs with Firmware 3.1.2 with the iValue plan 155.

I've just registered 2 days ago and received the sim card on the same day. After using the data service, I checked the unbilled ammount and it was RM129. after that, I check the usage in my Iphone and its just 68mb within these 2 days. Can anyone tell me is the RM129 is included in the 1gb free data service for the iValue plan 155 or is my phone going nuts as I have not use up to 1gb data yet =.=

Any help?
*
u use the data service right after u get the phone and insert the sim card?

i get on friday 8pm and the staff told me my i data plan 1 only activated after 12 pm on saturday ... before 12pm is pay per use, which is 1Mb = RM10

i don't understand why the telco can't simply activate the data plan together with the sim card.

may be it is a batch process and the system update in certain time only ...

for any people that not yet get the iphone with plan, once u get the phone, call the maxis CS first, verify the data plan is activated then only start use the data service ... else 1mb for RM10 is very costly and first day can reach RM100 cool2.gif

i used on fb all nights just used up around 15mb (including upload)
so i guess if beejive or other im should be around like that too....

btw... just checked my balance... this month my pay is stick with 100... but i only used not more than 300mb.. a bit of wasted the remaining data i have but atleast i'm saved from overcharged this time = ="

thats why tinkerbel mention before, as long as not heavy download using the phone, normal usage wont exceed the data allowed ...
