Dear Domokun and fellow BB users,

I second what is said by Domokun. Their EDGE networks works very smoothly, and covered throughout Malaysia. I was using E71 perfectly with their unlimited EDGE package.

For practical mobile surfing, it was A LOT FASTER than 3G as the other telco's needed to toggle you from 3G/3.5G and back to slouch GPRS (since they had 3G, they never upgraded their EDGE). So we got better speed smoothness from a consistent EDGE stream. And battery life lasted full day under frugal EDGE.With 3G mid day charging needed.

When you tetther to laptop, you might need 3G, but I hear Digi has that covered to some extent.

I was using Digi until this Tour came along last month when there was no Digi BIS, reluctantly switched to Maxis, the bill cost just jumped up 40% on overall basis. I shall switch back to Digi BIS 58 after I get more feedback from Tour Digi users.

Cheers and keep up the feedback.

Hi Thirtydude and Mikelanding,

Totally agree with your switch. I'm on Maxis 120 and VAS80. Somehow bill is 50% more than Digi.

I was using E71 before this BB. Under Digi unlimited, it was Edge only bfore 3G launched. Under everyday surfing/emailing, it was actually faster than Maxis 3G/GPRS. Maxis would toggle as you move, choke like KL traffic and drain your battery in the process. Digi Edge is everywhere.

I look forward to going back to Digi once someone confirms a working Tour Digi BIS. Will switch it to 2G Edge, battery will last full day. Will switch to 3G when I need to warm my coffee.

Hi Guys, Glad to hear most of you getting good service and experiences with Digi. Can you pls share yr browsing experience using Digi (Edge only). General spped of loading bTut most importantly loading lag. Those on OS5.0 are experencing very low batt life. Using my Maxis 3G doesn't help it either.but Digi Edge could be fast enough. Cheers.

Hi Friends,

Searched and found this thread instead of starting new one.


1. Am using Bold 9700 with Digi BIS58. During 1st few
months, I could tether using BBM 5.0.1 thru USB. Set the
APN to diginet under BBM settings. I was more than happy
to PPU at 10c per 10kb. Digi BIS is one of the best, with 120-58 or 88-58, I had spare cash for that emergency tethering, plug USB & hit connect under BBM, used it a few times a mth.


2. Recently this feature is disabled. BBM 5.0 will show error
when connecting. Have tried all APN's of 3gdgnet, digistrm,
blackberry.net etc etc all don't work. Tested against a normal
Celcom SIM and it works.


3. Called Digi,they said, "Owing to too many users wrongly
putting in Diginet into their BB TCP/IP, then get charged PPU
and they dispute. Hence Digi has totally disabled this
feature."


4. Can friends here pls verify if your BBM5.0.1 or later can
still tether under diginet or 3gdgnet (these two are
the latest APNs). Reason I need to use if for emergency
purpose, caught in some odd place need to send out bigger
emails from laptop. I am only too happy to pay 10c/10kb,
but problem is they disabled the entire thing.

Called Digi to
specially enable it for me but they said no. But forumers
here are still saying this is possible.


Thank you for all the feedback on this.

Hi Han18 & other,

Thks for the limited feedback.
I want to use tethering with my Digi BIS58, and WANT to pay 10c per 10kb for this service.

Its just that I can't do it now as the APN diginet or 3gdgnet or everything tried does not work.

Can anyone help me by trying their BBM5.0.1 & try tethering to see if theirs work. I'm using Bold9700, and also Tour 9630. Both don't work so I think its Digi blocking it.

Can anyone try & let know.

Thks,Peter
