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.

Need advise from those on Celcom. When I asked them to remove 3G/Edge from my line 1) they said I need to change to 2G SIM card 2) When I went their service centre they said its not possible to change to 2G card anymore, all 3G card. If I really want to remove 3G I need to terminate the account and start a new one. Why can't they just turn it off via their system if Maxis can do it?.

QUOTE(TeK_KeN @ Jan 19 2010, 11:29 AM) I ask the Celcom operator, she said Celcom MNP user cannot disable 3G/EDGE services.WTF Hi TeK_KeN, FakeAPN can work on your Celcom line?. It doesn't seem to work on my side, I can still access the internet and under the Usage still show values increase.but thanks to FakeAPN, problem solved   |

QUOTE(TeK_KeN @ Jan 20 2010, 11:13 PM) welcome OK thanks. I managed to dl it from Cydia then toggle on fakeAPN. Monitored for few hours and saw data usage Send and Received 1.0KB already so looks like doesn't work for me. I saw your screen shots the Celcom carrier bundle (with logo) is installed, I wonder if its due to that?.that fakeAPN u need to install manually from Cydia. |

QUOTE(simplifynet @ Jan 24 2010, 03:21 AM) I'm a celcom prepaid user. SBSettings+fakeAPN totally work on me. I'm using 3.1.2 FW. Easy to use, just switch on/off when u need it! Hi simplifynet, under your iPhone data usage its all 0kb?. BTW, have you got the celcom carrier bundle installed?. Thanks. Added on January 26, 2010, 12:38 am QUOTE(TeK_KeN @ Jan 21 2010, 11:32 PM) did u get any Data IP Address? Weird thing is sometimes my SbSettings don't show any Data IP address but still can surf so quite hard to check on this.if u get any, then maybe the fakeAPN didnt work for u I also have no idea if the carrier bundle version will effect this btw, im on FW 3.0.1 and using carrier CELCOM 3.1 This post has been edited by garyngkt: Jan 26 2010, 12:38 AM |

QUOTE(dragna @ Feb 1 2010, 06:13 PM) Then i find it weird because I have disabled Edge and Wifi plus have reset the counter and I tested I can't surf, then I re-enabled the Wifi and started surfing but the counter started counting. From what I observed wifi will not add into the data usage count. My findings for SBSettings turn off both 3G and Edge + FakeAPN on my side, found no Data IP address but sometimes Data IP address will come out. So I presume whenever the Data IP address appears again then data usage count will increase and iPhone accessing something online. |

QUOTE(my44 @ Feb 4 2010, 10:38 AM) Hello guys, seems a lot of information here Yes, FakeAPN does not work for my Celcom but on Digi I have tested yes can work. SBSettings I turn off both 3G and Edge but data usage meter still go up. Sometimes I found there is Data IP sometimes no, so I assume when suddenly there is Data IP then usage will go up.Anyhow, here's my current setup: - I purchased my iPhone from outside and I put in my own Celcom 3G sim card - I subscribed to Celcom data plan RM38/mo for 500MB - As a long time Celcom 3G user, I can say Celcom 3G is about 80% satisfactory and the 3G connection in my iPhone is within expectation of what Celcom can offer (but their EDGE is almost unusable, LOL) - For this 1st month, I used about 150MB of data only with 3 weeks of billing cycle to go. I guess I need to turn on the 3G more, haha! - No, Celcom will not charge for excess data. They will only do their magic called 'throttling'. Been there, done that. On issues on FakeAPN or what not: - If your iPhone is non-JailBroken, by default it will continue to 'accidentally' download data whether it's on GPRS (O), EDGE (E) or 3G. - For JailBroken iPhone with SBSettings done correctly, any attempt to download data will result in error "not connected to the internet" - FakeAPN? I've tried it before and it did not work. I imagine this was specific to a Celcom sim card, I can't speak for Maxis or DIGI sims. I probably can show the snapshot of SBSettings that I know is working for me. |

QUOTE(feizaiII @ Feb 10 2010, 09:39 AM) I have installed Data Toggle and previously it was on version 1.0 where they set your Data IP to 1.1.1.0, recently they have updated it to version 1.1 and now the Data IP is 127.0.0.1, anyone know why they changed it this way?. Thanks. |
