The price for 2nd hand i3g still holds up very well considering that the product is over a year old. 2nd hand is still selling between RM1600-2000. Apple tends to keep their value well.

There is not much difference between i3g or i3gs. Only the speed bump is attractive, with nothing changed physically. I am using i3gs while my wife use i3g and nobody knows the difference.

No video call. U will use a lot of data by online or playing online games. Email will also use some data.

And you can monitor the usage in the usage area under setting. How accurate it is compared to the maxis system is another question.

@tinker and all,

Unlimited data plan is really unlimited. I have downloaded around 3.6gb (from iphone data usage) last billing month and receive my statement last night and i was only charged for RM99 as per the plan. Nothing stated about the amount of usage used.

Out of curiosity I called maxis this morning and ask how much data I use for last month (double checking on usage used is more than 3gb). The CS lady states maxis do not monitor the amount of usage used for unlimited plan, thus no usage is recorded to my number. I also mentioned about the 3gb limit rumour, and she said that the informer might be confused with the 3g broadband plan.

Can someone else try it with their plan as well?

I travel a lot so tethering a lot as well. I can easily use 200mb on some day.

@kingkong
We are talking about maxis unlimited data, not idata3

I tether using usb. Will not last past 3pm if don. Haha... but last longer than i3g

Please refer to post #1126.
Unlimited for existing subscription will still be valid at RM99/m for 6GB cap.
