I wanna sound out my frustration!! (still half way thru reading the thread. I have signed up for an iphone 155 plan on 22/5/10, saturday, and due to my billing cycle starts on 28th everymonth, they mentioned that instead of the full 1Gb entitlement, they would pro-rate it... fine, today when the bill comes, I got a shock!! coz for the 1 week usage i need to pay an extra RM230!!

I have called maxis, but their staff said, they can't get the details of my usage! (crap, the bill is out, but the details are not out yet? are they plucking the figure from sky??!!) arrghhh

The bill shows that i have used 256,736KB during the 1 week!!

Anyone can help?

Nope i didn't immediately use the phone for surfing n stuff on the iphone. I got it around 7++ and i did call up maxis around 10+pm at nite to confirm that they have switched my plan b4 i started using the phone. And then i didn't use it to download itunes or stuff, basically i just use the phone, go to the app store and download a handful of free apps! I only configure the iTunes on Monday, (got the phone on sat) when i am in office with the WIFI service available. As I was worried about the pro-rated entitlement, i did use it with care, i normally download those apps when i have WIFI connection, in office n at home. I only use the mail for a few days and then delete off the a/c, didn't on facebook nor messenger. even safari also just browse maxis n some blog just to test it out. didn't use it heavily on youtube but only watched once or twice only .....

Anyway I have asked them to give me a breakdown of usage.... which till now no feedback from them yet (coz they say have to wait for the detailed usage report to be out....bla bla bla) and yet i receive an sms saying that my case has been resolved and ask me to rate their service! when i call to complaint that the case was not resolved, they mention, the case is consider resolved as later the CS staff would open a new case once the detailed report is out!! I just think that they want to close the case so that it satisfied their SLA!!

The WIFI strenght are normally very good, full 3 line. But am just wondering, for certain location (with no WIFI), i couldn't get 3G connection, and it was connected to EDGE (coz i can see from the E sign) will this affect the charges? I thought with Edge u will only get slower speed, is this the case?

Anyway, i dunno how to trace the video size.... lenght of video is 6:29 this is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRxvNhlS4V4 (something to talk about the space saving furniture) maybe someone could enlighten me on this?

Thanks

i should have around 200MB for the 7 days usage ler.... i have been trying to recall and this is the most possible culprit for taking up the data. coz other than that, i just use it to download some free apps

i am still waiting for maxis to revert to me what actually went wrong, coz most of the time, i am using the phone for calling only

Can use the "enable 3G" setting to off the data usage?
setting < general < network

Or for this option, 3G is off but Edge will be on?
