how big is 500mb..and how it shows ho many left mb?

disable 3g so the phone will only use the more stable GSM/GPRS/EDGE network.

better start reading the manual
In Settings, choose General > Usage
but its not accurate one. maxis also dunno how to gauge, until u receive ur bill/start deducting ur credit drastically.

500mb for me.. just 1 week use. light email and utube only.

500mb is quite little actually. It depends on you usage lo.

i booked mine on the 22nd of august. still waiting

3.0.1 K-Touch app is to simulate the Kamen Rider Decade's ktouch henshin device hehe

After I disable 3G, how to connect to GSM/GPRS/EDGE network? I don't see any of this setting, I only see WiFi and 3G On/Off only.

turning off 3G will automatically switch to GPRS or EDGE

Same here, i looked high and low for it in the mall but soon found out that it was located outside, and not to mention closed at the time (it was sunday), so i went back the next day to book.

They also told me when i booked my 3Gs that the white color will have a longer delay, but i got it in less than 3 weeks, lucky i guess.

The MEP at Ampang Point allows prepaid booking, theyre the fastest in delivering the phones too, <3 weeks.



Anyway here are the details of my booking.

Model: iPhone 3GS 16gb White
Book Date: 7 September
Collection date: 25 September
Plan: Prepaid
Place: Orange Mobile, Ampang Point (MEP)
Comments: Very fast collection, friendly staff, took only 15 minutes for the whole process, 500mb monthly free data credited into hotlink account in under 1 hour.

As a test, take out yr Hotlink prepaid and place into another 3G phone (yr friend's etc) which is already prove working and see whether yr Hotlink prepaid really being activtated or not.
Otherwise, take a working 3G card 9from yr friend) and insert to yr 3G and see whether the setting is right or not.

hi sorry for not putting it in the details .it is kl pavilion machine

Yes, the 500MB bandwidth quota is DATA allocated to your every month. It doesn't matter how you use this data. You can be on 3G, EDGE, GPRS, etc and it'll be using from this quota. Data transferred over WIFI is excepted.

No worries, when you disable 3G your iPhone will automatically fall back to the 'next best signal' which could be GPRS or EDGE. In most situations, it'll be EDGE if you're in Klang Valley or other places nearby. Some 'ulu' places will have GPRS indicated by 'o'. Most of the time 3G is the best. However, there can be situations where 3G is congested or 3G signal is weak. That way, falling back to EDGE is a good alternative. Also it helps save a little on the battery too.

Is maxis 3G really that bad? Cos I signed the contract for ivalue because of 3g, if I wanna use edge I might as well use Digi campus, RM30 per month for unlimited edge and very stable.

hi bro.
how u get ur unit???
i booked 2 unit at pavilion also, 27 august,
just went to this centre at 26 sept,
but the guy just went in to stock n check,
come back to me n said that i still have
to wait for one week as i'm at the batch 7,
tell me what tactic u use to get ur phone???
thank you.

Nah, Maxis 3G is pretty ok most of the time. I don't know about its other Maxis 3G broadband but surfing on my iPhone seems to be great. But it depends on the location you're in. Some places may have good signal but no respond on the internet = fail. Some other places, pretty consistent. But I only use internet on my iPhone for Facebook, IM and some regular Safari. So it doesn't matter if its 3G or EDGE.

does any1 book in kuantan?

No special tactic. It's all about luck. But you can call in to rush them

agree with u... for me maxis is much more stable than celcom

No tactic lah Bro......Luck + Complaint Kau kau only once and the Manager scared already.
