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.. smile.gif

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??

QUOTE(stratocaster @ Dec 22 2009, 11:53 AM)
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...

Added on December 22, 2009, 12:30 pmof cz they won't tell u tat u can change the APN... (they work under Maxis) definitely they wan customer to buy the phone wif their package rite? in fact my phone come wif APN disable as well.. means tat u won't be able to c the cellular data network menu.

QUOTE(stratocaster @ Dec 22 2009, 11:49 AM)
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)

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...


Added on December 22, 2009, 1:33 pm

yes this is correct! i tested both scenario....

I keep on repeating d same answer.I think u still dun get wat I mean tho.I mention earlier in my previous post.only when u use maxis iPhone cellular network menu will b disable.other telco won't cz in Msia iPhone is distribute by maxis n they ask apple 2 disable d apn 2 auto apn.since most of d customer oso use maxis package.they no need 2 change apn unless outright purchase.only when u use maxis line thn ur iPhone haf 2 set d telco logo und?I hope tis clear ur doubts

r u using ivalue 100?? if yes, u can use the data once ur line is activated. it will auto deduct the data tat u use.. if u change from old maxis plan to ivalue, dun immediately use it as maxis won't update tat fast. u will jz end up having a big surprise on ur bill charge.. btw, maxis won't inform or msg u regarding ur free data

QUOTE(tabs @ Dec 23 2009, 12:21 AM)

huh? i din kno tat prepaid plan gt free data.. as i kno only when u subscribe to ivalue (it comes wif free data) or idata (u subscribe to data plan only).. from wat i kno, prepaid dun haf free data. when u on9, then it will charge by pay as u use (1MB=RM10). so better check properly b4 u.. else ur $$ will fly out like crazy..

QUOTE(tabs @ Dec 23 2009, 12:39 AM)

ic.. mayb alot of ppl opt for prepaid n cause maxis can't earn much.. tongue.gif

QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Dec 23 2009, 12:47 AM)
prepaid plan got 1 year free monthly 500mb data...

its vry worth it although the phone price is a bit high,rm2490 for 16gb

that's why many is upset when maxis remove the prepaid offer,now they put it back

I guess it depends where you got it from. If you would to read the earlier post, some even waited 50+ days. Unless if you're really desperate, try getting the 32GB, provided if they still have stock.

So if I migrate from other network to iValue, I can use the data right away?

is still the same.. no matter ur phone is outright or contract. if ur line is maxis then the menu won't show. to make it simple..

use maxis line=menu won't show
other telco line=menu show

my phone is outright purchase oso n i use maxis line. the menu won't show. thn i haf to install the ipcc file to enable the menu show.

QUOTE(stratocaster @ Dec 23 2009, 10:49 AM)
yes thank u now i get it..

1) meaning if outright purchase set when i use other simcard like digi the cellular network menu will show...
and if i use maxis the menu wont show..

2) and if its contract..the menu wont show even if i put in digi sim card unless i change the telco logo...

is this correct?

i think they haf. jz dunwan inform customer only. i think they keep a few stocks for everyday purpose. after the stocks for the day is finish sold thn they will inform customer no more stocks. tis is wat i guess cz on 23 dec, some of the ppl mention tat gardens no more stocks. when i go on 24 of dec, inquiry on the phone, it has stocks.. if they really no more stocks.. where the the stocks on 24 dec??? is another trick from maxis i guess..
