@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?! tongue.gif

@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 tongue.gif

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

@mannequion,
Er.. the RM99 Unlimited plan offered by Maxis is also capped at 3GB biggrin.gif 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.

@victorchew,

@cksia,
Yes that should be right.

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

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

@teikwing,
You have that information in your bill because those are over and above what you subscribed too. For those who subscribe the RM99 package, U won't know how much you've used because there won't be indication on the bill. If U have indication like what teikwing's bill is therefore it only means U've exceeded your 3GB usage.

@LaiN87,
Yes apparently 500MB is helluva lot.

@victorchew,
If U don't intend to use your i3GS for Internet Tethering purposes, perhaps U could even consider the iData 2 plan.

Btw does anyone know, assuming I signed up with iData 2, can I upgrade to iData 3 later on? Is that allowed?

@soonwai,
In that case, I would recommend for those who's unsure of their data usage to take up iData 2 and upgrade to iData 3 at a later stage; no point paying for 3GB of data when you don't even use up 300MB, right?!

Also, I'm quite sure U aren't allowed to downgrade from iData 3 to iData 2, right? biggrin.gif

@teikwing,
hMm.. perhaps the information is given for those who purchased the smaller bundles. I'm on the RM99 plan and they don't give me the usage. All I see is GPRS Services under Value Added Service. Hmm.. maybe it's because our usage are like v super low so they rather not tell us cause they afraid we will downgrade plans?! Anyhow I've put in a request for my data usage - let's just see how long it'll take Maxis to give me that information.

@jqss29,
It's expected - to finance the i3GS. I sold mine off aeons ago.

@soonwai,
Am sorry U got the wrong information but I sure hope this thread did help put things in the right perspective. I don't think Maxis will allow a downgrade because it's never been in their policy to offer downgrades but upgrades are usually permittable.

I will check and get back to U. Act, I sent an email to my Insider so let's just wait for his reply biggrin.gif

Eh... Ur not suppose to give things that U don't want to ur wife! *hmph*

@ah1,
Er.. saving extra RM100 of the phone price onli wat, no meh?! <lazy to refer to plan, sorry>

It's not possible that iData 3 will be cheaper as compared to iData 2 when U take the total value combined.

@TuX,
If ur trying to spend as little cash then U shouldn't even be considering purchasing the i3GS tongue.gif

Ask urself if the free talk time (in terms of mins) is going to be sufficient for U to use. Bear in mind the iValue plans are more expensive in terms of call rates + SMS rates are separate charges.

@ah1,
That's not a good enough solution for TuX because his existing call rate is oredi RM50-60 p/month so he's considered pretty average usage.

@TuX,
Do U know how much of that RM50-60 is for SMS and how is for calls?

@ah1,
You're absolutely right. The iValue plans can't beat the ValuePlus plans but ah well.... if people want the iPhone they've no choice but to sign up the iValue plans, at least that was the case in the past. At least now they've got a choice with the iData plans.

Act, the iData1 plan is sort off like an "outright" purchase for those holding post paid lines.

@azrilyp,
Yes that is possible but your call rates will be higher under the postpaid plan. SMS on the other hand is probably cheaper.

If U don't make a lot of calls, this is a pretty good option biggrin.gif + U keep urself open to swapping over to another telco as and when U wish biggrin.gif

@azrilyp,
RM40-50 is considered mediocre for me and if U think Ur going to be receiving more calls than calling out then the prepaid plan should be fine. Like I said, since ur getting the phone on an outright basis (no contract) U can always subscribe back to the VP plan if u think U need to.

Yes U should be able to keep your current number.

@ah1,
U know for a fact changing SIMs is not a solution! tongue.gif
