QUOTE(iphoneiphone @ Nov 3 2009, 12:27 AM) guys, As per tinkerbell said, it should be enough. Except, if u do tethering, i dont think 500mb is enough for u.just a few question here. sorry if the question irritated you. im planning to subscribe the 500MB / month for the data. does it really enough 500MB for emails and FB? estimate how much it take per day? after calculate, roughly we can use 16MB per day, izit enuff? i just scared it will caused overbilling issues since so many user had complain and faced the problems. help me clarify please.. much appreciated. thank you  QUOTE(loumou @ Nov 3 2009, 10:56 AM) guys, IMHO, if u surf the net and there is available wifi near u, iphone will ask 1st. a popup will appear show available wifi n ask u to connect either one.if i want to browse internet but without usiing 3g/edge, will iphone always ask before we surt net?like showing wifi available near your area or they will direct connect to 3g/edge? |

regarding Maxis 3G rate, is it "cheap" compare to other telco in Malaysia? perhaps, other than Malaysia? i think its quite expensive liao.

QUOTE(jlchannel @ Nov 19 2009, 05:03 PM) Personally I'm a victims. Is it true?There is no way to turn off 3G or edge in the iPhone. According to Maxis customer support manager, Apple iPhone design such a way which data go first and probably you can turn on Airplane mode. The only thing you can do is call up Telco helpdesk and request for turn off edge, 3G and blacklisted ur phone number for 3G and Edge access. Previously I did that b4 but somehow I will not able subscribe to per hour or per day internet access (Maxis). Hope this is clear. Regards, Malaysia iPhone Fans Club I don't have any problem to turn off 3G and Edge for iPhone. All I need to do is, from SBSetting, just off 3G and Edge toggle. It works for me. Plus, I still can subscribe for hour/day mobile Internet. Just turn on the 3G and Edge.  Must JB 1st la |

QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Dec 30 2009, 11:41 AM) cheap ? you still dunno what cheap is. SGD$7 (RM17) for 50GB data/month. Now that's CHEAP ! Is it Singtel data plan? very very cheap. n i think i saw the package singtel offer, free up to 12gb/month compare to maxis 500mb/month. |

QUOTE(yusvogue @ Jun 18 2010, 04:40 PM) Change to Celcom? RM68/month... So u use celcom broadband at iphone? I did not understand. Sorry Unlimited 3G usage... Cap till 5G, but will slow down your system if you reaches 5G. Another q is, i subscribe bi weekly internet cap at 100mb (maxis), so do 100mb include sent and receive or just sent? |

From http://www.celcom.com.my/broadband/html/br...outh_facts.html
"This package is a DATA ONLY Plan and cannot be subscribed as a Value Added Service over a Celcom Postpaid voice plan." So, no call and sms? |
