hi all...i'm really quite new to the whole iphone phenomenon...got interested only cos of the new 3GS...

i was havin a chat today with a customer, who's supposedly quite tech savy...i told him bout the 3GS and he told me bout a bug in the iphone. apparently, even if you're surfing with internet wi-fi and not on the 3G network, maxis will still clock all ur usage as 3G data usage, and hence, chargeable. it happens even if you've completely switched off 3G on the iphone. the only way to avoid that is to switch the phone to flight-mode.

may i ask if there's any truth in that? i've not read it anywhere. but in case i missed out, sorry if this has been posted earlier.

another question, is there any iphone user on Celcom Exec data plans? maxis one is actually a bit pricey...looking at my phone usage, its less than RM50 every month (without data) and i'm on iValue150...if i were to sign up for maxis data plan, means additional RM99 = RM250 commitment every month = alot of money!!!

thanks for reading & replyin'
