Hi guys, im on a maxis iphone 4 ivalue plan 1 with 1GB data. if i leave my whatsapp running and receiving notifications what is the possible data charges?

thanks in advance =)

very minimal.... less than 1 mb...

saya mahu free

really?

me too,iValue 1

NewbieHero said it cost a bomb!

1. ur fren kena charge coz he doesnt have a data plan. as u kno, data is expensive in msia if calculated as 1kb - 1 sen (or sumthin like dat).

2. 1gb is more than enuf. my whatsapp takes bout 1mb after sendin/receiving bout 600sms. and dat includes some pictures aswell.

3. whatsapp just sends text mostly, so data usage is very very minimal. few kb's nee per msg.

bear in mind that if u enabled ur Data without having a proper data plan, it would cost you a bomb no matter what... There're many other apps which 'eats' ur data as well.. facebook, opening games (they log in ur game centre/open feint) and many more....

lesson: never enable ur cellular data network without a data plan.....

99 cents = rm3, can't even buy me a bag of keropok in UK...

Note that BB users have to pay 1.99USD per year for the service, for iPhone it's just a one-off payment of 99cent... We should be grateful lol...

Anyways it used to be free for 2 times previously.. First was when it first released and 2nd time during the time I started this topic...

yep, i got mine for free. last year. dat time ping was popular.

totally agree. this is the reason why i switched to unlimited data plan

365 messages sent, 378 received. 590 KB sent, 714.4 KB received. Nothing to worry about even you have the lowest quota data plan.

1108 messages sent, 876 received. Only 1.9MB sent and 2.3MB received respectively.

That's real little compared to if you leave say, ebuddy on 24/7.

You don't need unlimited data plan. The lowest data plan will be more than enough to accommodate whatsapp usage

I got 500mb data plan free every month and never before i exceed it with whatsapp on 24/7 (PUSH)

Total of 7k+ receive and sent msg and some media content

The usage is only 11mb

An interesting article that I found online here.

For all iPhone and Blackberry users, I'm sure you are very familiar with these 2 applications. It's an application which allows users to communicate with each other in text messages for FREE. Forget about sms where you need to pay per sms, use Whatsapp and BBM (Blackberry Messenger) , you can chat all day and night for free. It's kinda like MSN messenger actually.



There's advantages and disadvantages for everything. Seriously, nothing is perfect in this world. The advantage of these two application is of course, you can send text message to your friend(s) (who also own an iPhone and/or Blackberry Phone) for free. It really helps you to save a lot, if you are like me for one, love to text people. I actually saved up a lot by using Whatsapp, because I really text a lot in a day. Now that I'm using Whatsapp, I can bug my friends even more *evil grins* AND of course to keep in touch with them at the same time.

Here comes the disadvantage of it. It's not really a disadvantage if you didn't over-used it actually. For me, since I'm so used to Whatsapp now, when I received a SMS, I'll type one sentence, and STRAIGHT AWAY click the send button. Then, I'll go %#@^##. So, please be careful not to over-used and over-depend on it.

OMG, no offense but the background of the blog was just........

Yea, sometimes I don't care much when sending text, but I can still control it lol...

yeah wei, bloody hell when i sent the 2nd msg i seriously feel like throwing away the fon! not cause have to pay extra 0.15 but due to own stupidity xD *pwned*

lol yea.. when i use whats app i send msg like "ya" "what u doing" etc
but in msg i usually type long such as "hi dear what are u doing. are u miss me? lets hang out tonight. any idea where to go? lets go 1u~!

=D

I worst, I used to chat with a fren and I didnt notice its normal msg. I key a word for a msg for about like 7 to 8 =.=
Then she replied "This is not WHATSAPP, its MSG" i was like

But sometimes whatsapp application keep crash is really annoying
