The Settings > General > Usage > Cellular Network Data in the iPhone is correct is it not?
I'm always worried about accidentally using the EDGE network.

P.S. aren't you a moderator?

I think you might have gotten yourself confused with bryanyeo87

Anyhow , I do hope someone comes up with an application to kill data connection

Oh sorry.. doh.gif
Which is why it's so tempting to jailbreak...

Hi you sure it is NOT INCLUDED WIFI usage? Mine up to 8GB last month. I was shock as well, i connected to WIFI most of the time, at home, at office.

Fortunately, i just received this month phone bills from Maxis, it shows i only utilised 120MB only.

It does not include WIFI..you can try it for yourself. Sometimes when your 3G and WIFI is turned off it utilizes the EDGE...so be careful ...

You can turn off 3G but not EDGE..unless its a jailbreak one, I guess

easy la... use the ivalue plan's sim card put in old version phone such as 3310 so that u wont use the 3G and use to make phone call and sms only.... thn use hotlink sim card put into the iphone so u can control the usage.... ^^

Have you tried it ??

how bout 3G/ Edge rate ah? i just use it for maps, routing,gps.. suddeny it sucks all my credit. is dat really expensive? one more question, does maxis hv unlimited usage?
*
I don't think there's one with unlimited usage, they give u a limit and if you overuse u have to pay the extra

Agreed with kokocrun..I am on iValue 100 plus RM99 for Unlimited Data Plan. Yup,double check my bill and there is no other charges reflected for data...though I was hit by a whopping 2,000 MB data usage charge on the 2nd day...

I have 3G turned off. Am using WIFI but then sometimes EDGE steps in..and that is probably how you got charged.. I noticed when your phone automatically locks and you unlock it, EDGE will be used for a moment before the WIFI steps in..
