pls dun make others worry... actually all maxis iphone 3gs no matter wat batch, u can't manage to c ur cellular network menu.. cz all iphone in malaysia is distributed by maxis, so when they take the iphone from apple, they already set something on it.. to disable the menu. (tis is wat i heard) bt it's nt means tat ur phone is locked. by disable the cellular network menu, one can't view or change their apn cz it's auto set to maxis carrier. unless u change ur simcard to other carrier (eg.. digi or celcom). by tat time ur menu will shown.

tat's y u heard alot of cases tat even those who sign up for data plan or contract ivalue.. their bill shoot up to a few hundreds.. tis is because iphone is such a smartphone.. will cause u to use up ur data even when u r on wifi.. (when ur wifi signal is weak) thn it will auto route to ur data without u noticing it.. unless u enable the cellular menu n change ur apn. (enable the menu doesn't mean we JB the phone. two different things).. once again.. wat is the point of changing the apn since most of the ppl who use iphone/smartphone to on9 everywhere. unless u dun plan to sign up any data plan..

hope tis clear up some of the queries n doubts tat u guys encounter lately..

so using the telco carrier logo will enable the menu back?

Is the outright purchase available now ?? can i purchase thru prepaid plan ?

ya.. u need to add custom telco carrier logo to enable to menu.. please refer to this thread

OMG so its really true..

that is what the TTDI maxis centre guys said..u cant change the APN !!

that means its unlocked for voice and sms, but locked for data usage (means cant mms also)

read the previous replies

i think you are wrong...

if you go to klcc maxis centre and request to use their test unit and put in any other sim card besides maxis...the cellular network menu will appear..
i know this cause i asked one of the promoter to let me try..and he let me do it...and from there i can change the apn and can change the mms settings...
bear in mind i tested it on the old stock which is a test unit...

when i asked if i can test on the new unit..he said cant test until buy...

why we need change apn?
of coz we want use iphone to surf net etc..but not all using maxis..
u need change the apn to access diffrent telco data network..like for digi 3g u nd change it to diginet (apn) to be able to access the data...

Anyone tried stream ppstream video using 3gs?Does it works?

Hey guys,

Booked my iPhone 3GS 16GB White on the 29th Nov and got mine yesterday

Funny tho as I did not get any sms/call from Maxis stating that my iPhone was ready..

I just walked in to the Maxis Gardens as there was where I booked my phone and they told me they had stock..lucky me

But the downside was that the staff handling my iPhone made a mess of all the documentation of the contract papers that I had to sign.

Nevertheless,Outright purchase is still not available.

But the waiting period of 30-45 days is over..so you can get yours today without waiting but will still have to pen a contract.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Cheers.

What to do to avoid excess billing?i scare later come out with surprising number on the bill..haha

I recently bougt a maxis uni iPhone with a warranty card. I heard that I cannot send to unit for warranty claimed w/out the real maxis owner? Is that correct? Does this violate any law if it's true?

Anybody received a flyer with their Astro's bill? I don't seem to get anything in this month bill.. just plain one pc bill, they usually put in fliers in it.. but not this time. Just wanted to know what others we talking about the Astro/Maxis discount thingy.. if possible, can somebody scan and post? Cheers!

lucky u...

i shudd went to maxis gardens instead midvalley

wat do u mean by "i tried on the test unit at maxis klcc..no custom telco carrier logo..it just shows digi..and even that it can also change the apn..."??

telco carrier logo is change by ourself (using the step provided in tis forum). it won't show until u copy the file thru itunes into ur phone. u mention tat it show digi n can change the apn?? since u say can change so ?? i dun really get wat u mean tho

i kno wat the use of apn... my phone gt show up the cellular network data menu (tat list out the data apn n mms apn) after i put my carrier logo. hw can u can't try on it when u haven't gt ur phone to put the file??

Wow.. I had booked on 1st dec. I'll go to KLCC tomorrow to test my luck then. Calling them is really helpless as they always give me those non-asnwer keh answer. - -

okay..what i mean is that when i tried to insert digi sim card into the test unit there at klcc..(which the staff allowed)..it automatically show the words DIGI once it got registered to the network..but the logo not there...

even without the logo , but only the word DIGI showing...i can change the apn also...i didnt use the file to change the logo...


ok to clear things up, just now i tested using maxis sim into one of my frens 3g model (not 3gs)
when using maxis simcard..the cellular network data not avail

and when i change to digi simcard..the cellular network data is avail to be changed...
