QUOTE(petepix @ Jan 18 2010, 11:36 PM) according to DiGi_Telco yes, because u will have to use other APN to get connected, coz blackberry.net won't work Just to clear the air abit from my 2weeks experience using Digi BIS 'Unlimited' their so call unlimited is only for access directly using the BlackBerry DEVICE and also MUST use APN: blackberry.net any other settings u will kena CHARGE PayAsYouUse (PAYU) including tethering, etc. i hv written a complain to them, stating other Telcos don't have such limitation. And this is such an inconvenience if one day your BB send for repair, u can't surf on other type of smartphones. (can surf but under PAYU plan) History has reveal to us, sending in a BB for fixing could take up to 4 month if u unlucky, only some lucky chaps manage to get a 1-1 swap You can YouTube for free under the digistrm APN, but yeah the tethering has a PAYU charge at the moment... but still without tethering is HALF the price of the other telcos. For fixing BB - I believe digi practice is always 1 for 1 swap so you shouldn't have that problem with inconvenience. |

QUOTE(littlekev @ Jan 19 2010, 08:57 PM) I am wondering, if I am a PAYU user and using non-BB device, can I use blackberry or digistrm APN in order to have unlimited internet? Nope, according to the FAQ on the site, it's only for BB device. Can I use the DG Smart Plan for Blackberry on another phone? No, at this point, you cannot. The unlimited data in the DG Smart Plan for Blackberry only applies for data used on a Blackberry, not by other devices. Please choose a suitable plan here if you wish to have unlimited data on another phone http://www.digi.com.my/internet/3g/index.html DO NOT use the diginet APN on a Blackberry or you will be charged 10sen/10kb |

QUOTE(debugger @ Jan 25 2010, 12:11 PM) Hi guys, based on the DiGi FAQ, it's definitely included as part of the package. http://www.digi.com.my/whatshot/promotions...berry/faq.do#33 Can I use YouTube on the Blackberry? Yes you can. Unlimited YouTube streaming is included as part of your Blackberry plan. In order to set up YouTube, please follow these instructions. Press: Menu → Options → Advanced Options → TCP/IP → Tick the checkbox to enable APN (If you see it) and type in digistrm in your APN. Leave the username and password blank. DO NOT use the diginet APN on a Blackberry or you will be charged 10sen/10kb |

QUOTE(ViRaViRa @ Jan 28 2010, 10:29 PM) I am still not sure what will be the consequences if I left the APN blank. Apparently blackberry.net APN will be pushed to the phone when your BIS is activated. There is no place to set it as blackberry.net or change it. So don't worry about leaving the APN blank. Based on my reading, the APN settings is the advanced options menu is just alternate an APN to support services which RIM doesn't support like YouTube. So to watch youtube, you got to set your APN as digistrm. Telcos like Starhub even charges for YouTube becos it uses a different APN, but DiGi giving free la if you use the digistrm APN.

QUOTE(debugger @ Jan 29 2010, 07:47 AM) no..mine still charge eventhough changed APN to digistream..but they said will waived for next bill... I think yours exceptional case, not the norm, cos they were quite upfront in the FAQ that it is was part of the RM58, & that's why they waive your bill.

QUOTE(cheezzzz @ Jan 30 2010, 11:44 AM) this plan really caught my eye. was hoping i could use unlimited email anywhere, so can email with my gf in sg, replacing our IDD sms that actually cost up to about Rm100+ per month at least. but then after what the TnC showed.. that its only free if the accesspoint is blackberry.net.. im having second thoughts.. is anyone using this DG smart plan paying ONLY rm58 for their bb usage? Im guessing blackberry.net APN isnt very accessible, or its laggy.. in the end we have to use their APN - diginet, no? Bb users please share your experience! Really appreciate it guys.. thanks  No, ALL BlackBerry services for all telcos in the world use the BlackBerry.net APN unless its for services it does not support like YouTube. Don't use diginet, use digistrm APN as officially stated by DiGi. BlackBerry APN is what runs all your push services, it also compresses data, caches it, and optimizes it and is not laggy at all. It's what makes the BlackBerry device such a joy to use  |

QUOTE(xsi @ Feb 1 2010, 10:47 AM) sorry if this is not the right thread... planning to go for digi, since it is the cheapest...so far.. but contemplating between 8900 jave and 9630 tour...one with wifi only, and the other 1 with 3g only.. which 1 shud i go for if going for digi? My concern with no 3g is the browsing might be slow...? or is it Digi offer does not have 3g?   sorry...i'm on Maxis Iphone with has everything...almost... DiGi's 58 bucks plan is 3G compatible, no extra charges - but of course you only gonna get 3G IF your BlackBerry is capable of doing 3G la |

QUOTE(rmage @ Feb 12 2010, 11:03 AM) Does this mean we'll need to change to "digistrm.net" all the time whether we're watching youtube or not? Or "digistrm" for BB and "digistrm.net" for youtubing? BB services by default always use blackberry.net APN (Its not listed in the advanced options - so don't look there - its in the phone by default you can't change it). If it is a service not supported by blackberry.net (like youtube), then it will go look for other APNs you have specified... like digistrm So ya digistrm only for youtube and other streaming services ...no such thing as digistrm.net |

QUOTE(ViRaViRa @ Feb 16 2010, 11:03 PM) Maybe. I am sharing based on what I see as I do not want to mislead others (who knows, DiGi is actually only offering 3Gb for their BIS)  Actually hor... after 3GB they just throttle to EDGE-like speed... so technically it's unlimited usage at no extra charge....especially if you're on an 8520, which is EDGE all the time anyway.... so its completely seamless unlimited usage even after 3 GB... *woo hoo*

QUOTE(LYW @ Feb 19 2010, 08:07 PM) eh guys. so i can sign up for a 30ringgit digi postpaid then suscribe this ah? No need buy the bb from them ? Don't even need to sign up for ANY postpaid plan la... straight can buy the data plan. Then with that data plan you can make calls with no minimum commitment. I advise you not to take the DG RM 30 plan if you wanna sign BB. DG Smartplan is a better deal... much cheaper for u. No need to buy device from them if you already have one. |

No long term impact but depending on your intensity of use you will use your battery more than just using it for texting and calls, just like any other phone

QUOTE(ViRaViRa @ Jul 3 2010, 04:31 PM) I've used the wordpress app for BB. Well, I don't prefer to use that. If your blog is less complicated ( a very simple blog) & you are familiar with codings, then you may give a try. My preferred way to blog on BlackBerry would be to use posterous, which can link to your wordpress. Turns your email into an awesome blog editor. |

Unless its a carrier locked or networked locked phone should be no issue. I've heard Verizon sets are giving problems with DiGi Maxis AND Celcom. I think best to avoid them at all costs.
