read http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/868281

Settings -> General -> Usage -> Cellular Network Data

there are games which connects to its server for high score updates & news. disable your 3G/EDGE to prevent any data usage.

read 3. Phone Credit Flying Out The Window? Turn 'OFF' EDGE on how to disable EDGE.

how about for 2g? how do we know whether the games are connected to server or not.

I have reset the statistic just now and when I check again there is data sent and received. But in fact I'm not using it. The 'E' is always appear on the screen.
Can advise?

@jingyong,
RM346 is like 692MB extra over and above the 500MB you have.  I certainly don't think it's possible to go overboard by so much especially if it's only because you ter-opened an application connecting u to the Internet.

Best if you go speak with Maxis on your issue.

@naughtyspirit,
Have u oredi disabled APN and all?  If so and if you open Safari and any other applications that need to utilise the web, it'll tell U that u do not have connection and the page just won't load smile.gif

yes. i have instead this http://iphonenodata.com/ in my phone. I cant connect to the internet now (not sure bout wifi though cus have not try it yet). So it means that i have disable it right.

The E icon is still there. I'm just afraid that the data usage showed in my phone is not same with maxis. And by end of the month, it will be a bomb for my bill

@naughtyspirit,
You should be fine then.  Go to Stocks or Weather to give it a try - it shouldn't work either cause it'll need you to connect to the internet.

The E icon will be there, it just means there's Edge coverage in the area you're in.  Also, you shouldn't be charged for wifi and u should have no problems getting onto the Internet if you're connected to Wifi smile.gif
