yeap truee..

got a cases to share here n wanna ask u guys opinion..

my subline is using iphone.btw its a non-contract 3g phne. n she did online via wifi only.unfortunately maxis still charge on the data usage on the 1st mnth after using the iphone..its bout 150++ n she did not use any 3g connection to go on the net..so i call the customer service at 123..wishing to disconnect the 3g service for the main line n subline...to be safe, she also disable the 3g from the setting of the phne.

ok..life goes on that month.

the 2nd motnh

ok, hrmm when the bill for the 2nd month (2nd month of subline using iphne), the freaking maxis still charge on the data call and its stil bout 130++..
i decided to go to maxis service centre at taman tun..after talking to a nice lady there.she mentioned to me, whenever any wireless connection is low, even the signals on the iphne shows 2 bar, it will automatically switch n connect to 3g service to surf the net smoothly. it must be 3 full bar for you not being charged using the wireless.. then i ask her, how bout if i have disconnected the 3g service (remember wat i did on the previous month) n she replied an answer that shocked to me mentioning that, even though u have dscnncted the 3g service, because the phone is 'so' intelligent, it will automatically enable the 3g that has been disconnected and connect to net through the service..so disconnecting ur 3g service is not a solution.thats y we have data package for contract phne (cehh). By the way, i cant see any termination of 3g service for ur accounts since may 2008 (damn you 1st maxis guy. he didnt terminate the 3g)...

next, i ask the solution..she mentioned to me 2 things :

1) if u scared to go online with being charge, enable ur airplane mode during wifi connection.with that ur net its 100% depends on the wireless.however, if u enable airplane mode during surfing, u are not able to receive/make calls, sms n etc as it blocks ur network.

No la bro mine oredi blacklist my 3g service n oni wifi at home n office... No data being charged to me....dont ask for disable but ask for blaxklist

2) jailbreak ur iphne, find a software name bosspref.there is a setting to disable 3g. (this is a proper solution).

im gonna JB soon n sees what happens...
so guyss..any thought??

@honkit,
Deactivate by calling Maxis? Er.. U mean they agreed to de-activate your 3G/EDGE via their system? Didn't know that could be done but that's good

guys
help me
i already take prepaid broadband daily for hotlink
now i dont know how to setup
it says APN : bbnet
so i change APN to "bbnet"
and tried with safari
it says im not connected to internet

Err..i've just booked my iPhone today..am also worried that i'd be overcharged for data usages..

From what i see, it seems that some forummers iPhone automatically connects to the internet..juz wondering would turning off the 3G/Edge function to prevent such cases.

Sorry for such question. Just wanna prevent overcharging from happening.

Anyway just my 2 cents...

if you look at the comparison charts.. Digi RM48 has lower transfer speed as what the name implies.. if you look at the data transfer rate is capped at 700/200kbps while maxis is 3.6mbps/384kbps

used all three maxis, celcom & digi data plan..

Digi is da best n the cheapest..huhuhu..

RM48 FTW

for the 1st time i got this from maxis on my 3Gs 

yesterday was the last day of my ivalue1 and i decide to go cut it today, so i called maxis 123 this morning. i am so frustrated when i was told i need to pay RM 312 for the usage from 17/3 - 9/4, i didnt exist the data usage nor call usage. any reason ?

i dont have any overdue amount before this too. they told me it could be possible that the adjustment havent been carry out on the data, could it be possible ?

anyway i will go maxis klcc to clarify later, hope they give me an acceptable answer

Goodbye Maxis !

yeah i was shocked too , i mean 4gb less than 1 day , even streamyx cant do it "

what's the next move ?
