Just wanna Enquiry Any1 obtained the Maxis data bill details before? Can anyone post it to show how would Maxis provide the exact itemize details about how data used per month.

Do anyone know about the iData 3 is unlimited usage or it is limited to 3GB download only ?

@ah1,
If you're on an unlimited plan, it'll just be RM99 under GPRS services. Anything more than that, they'll tell you the usage, as in 7000kb and charge u RM35/RM70 for it depending on whether your data cost is 0.5sen/kb or 1sen/kb

@mannequion,
It's capped at 3GB - isn't that what's stated on the chart?!

Hopefully she won't notice. :-) I think the difference is fairly inconspicuous unless you have the 3GS next to the 3G then it's glaringly obvious.

@Ms. tinkerbel
So it will just show total amount only?. but not show date time and location for how many data usage in the bill?. I was looking forward similar features just like phone call keep track

@soonwai,
Unless she hangs out at this forum she's probably not going to even know the difference if U put your phone down. If she notices just tell her you swap the old one for new lah; not like you're going to get into loads of trouble doing that

@TuX,
For navigation, yes I believe u will be using data services.

Sorry, which chart u are referring to?

@mannequion,
The one on Post #2 of this thread

Thanks tinkerbel!
Due to the limited access to internet now. I m not sure what i can see now answer my queries.
I m referring to maxis.com.my, but there's no statement regarding the 3GB data usage...

I came across to read the comments on this blog.
http://www.malaysianwireless.com/2009/07/maxis-iphone-3gs-plans-are-out.html

The reader commented : Never ever get the iData Plan.

Which is against planning... any comments on this?

Thanks

@mannequion,
Er.. the RM99 Unlimited plan offered by Maxis is also capped at 3GB Just that not many people know it or think so that's all so it really makes no difference.

Also, nokia2003 has mentioned over and over again 250MB is more than suffice.

Aiyo..like that i have nothing to say, better not go against the government these days, otherwise i may end up flying off the MACC building..hahahha

All the while I though the iData3 plan is the same as 3G unlimited access that also pay RM99 per month.
Aren't they the same?

@victorchew,
It's the same except for iData U will need to be contracted for either 12/24 months.

Ok hypothetically speaking, if a non-maxis user port-in to hotlink prepaid then from there sign up for ivalue plan, will he/she still be considered as a port-in customer hence not allowed to sign up for the 24 month contract?

@cksia,
Yes that should be right.

@ah1,
oOps.. I missed your question earlier. Yes, there's no data usage information on the bill.

Hey guys, just wondering. Right now I am using subline to my family plan,which is obviously postpaid. Is it advisable to convert it to hotlink for my 3gs? Also, do I have to do it a day before purchase?

Also would like to know is hotlink cheaper for SMS? I SMS quite often, and was told postpaid is not ideal for sms. Thanks!

@wahkiz,
If U want to continue enjoying the free calls and SMS then U should go with the iData plan.

You can still carry on with ur family plan but you need to subscribe to one of the idata plans to enable you to purchase the phone at a discounted price. Otherwise you have to buy the phone outright at the retail price. Not sure about the timing of conversion though.

Yes you are right, if u sms a lot you are better off with hotlink as the rates are cheaper.

Guys, im gonna use a new Maxis number for my Iphone 3gs..currently using Celcom. Do I need to create a new number/account before I get my Iphone on the 31st or can I do it on that day (im getting mine at Machines btw).

Machines guy said better I get new number 1st and then they will change the plan for me coz activating line could take 2-3 days

Im afraid if I get new number now later cannot change plan or something. What do u guys think

here's a shot of my bill. i'm under RM8 for 5MB per month plan (as i'm around WiFi hotspots most of the time. )
