My data usage :

I have been using iValue 100 since march with iPhone 3G. I only activate 3G when i am away from my desk, lunch, after office hour, and weekend. this is because i have wifi connection at office and Home.


My 3G data activities are
1) GPS during weekend explore new places - avg. 2 hours p/week
2) Email fetch every 1 hour for Gmail, Yahoo & hotmail - avg 2 hrs/day ( i dont usually receive large email or attachment)
3) Push mail for Office - exchange and MobileMe - avg 2 hrs/day
4) Internet Access, Apps store browing - avg 2 hr/day
5) IM chat (WIth push notificaton) 24 hours online , chating - avg 2 hr/day
6) RSS news feeder - i subscripberd 15 news feeder - avg 1 hr/day

After 4 months, my average is 350MB per/mth. i have been using it extreme careful due to "Maxis" has no way for us (and themselves) to check usage (only way is to keep track from iphone ourself). So i try to connect to wifi most of the time

yeah, my colleague who bought iphone 2G earlier didnt aware of that, end up with RM250 for the bills.. normal usage before get his iphone was RM30 . lol

@tink..

yep, they r stupid... makesure you have itemise billing activated. even though it is free and ONLY way to know your usage. but they don't activate it by default.

when you have itemise billing activated, it will show a lum sum figure in your phone bill eg... how many MB have you use, how much it costs based on normal charges per KB.. then it will display all data charges waived

hm.. you guys aware that one of the new features in 3GS is support 7.2Mpbs 3G speed. wondering when Maxis will upgrade it .... our neighbor singtel already have that upgraded for 3GS

I have been on ivalue 100 since maxis 3g launch. my average mthly bill is RM125. ivalue = RM100, RM8 for SMS, which means i spent another RM17 on SMS to other service provider + taxes etc ...

I am a heavy sms user, so my voice only utilize RM10 , and data is about 300MB
