Hi, just wanted to find out if I can get a microSIM from Maxis, while still retaining the use/number for my current 3GS?

I read from that there is the ability to use up to 5 sim card using one number. Is this possible?

Since I'm getting my iPad with 3G, was wondering if I could use my existing data plan (Rm50 a month extra for 500MB of Data) for the iPad and the iPhone at the same time........

Getting in my 64GB + 3G on Friday from Aussieland.
Right now looking for an extra Pre-Paid or post paid plan to supplement my iPhone 3GS Maxis plan.

The Digi RM5 a day is tempting, since I'll only use 3G on the iPad in case I don't have WiFi access, which isn't fantastically often since I'll use it in Starbucks or places with WiFi.

If I need to check email real quick, I always have my iPhone next to me...... smile.gif

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Forgot to mention that I'm also buying a Micro Sim Cutter.

Yup. Even I'm an existing Maxis iPhone customer, still want to charge me RM100 for a new account on top of paying RM58 every month for data.

Decided to go with Digi and bought myself a Micro-Sim cutter for RM80 tongue.gif

This micro sim cutter is for one time used only or can be used unlimited times?
Probably can help cut other sim cards as well if that is the case.

Yup. If there is another iPad Gathering, will bring the cutter along........

I have a question, can I connect an External HDD to transfer pictures from the iPad to the External HDD via the Camera connection kit?

Or must I jailbreak it to gain this functionality.

Worried that the built in storage is not enough for all the photos for my upcoming holiday

I'm not sure which store, because I asked my friend to get it for me. I think she went to JB Hifi to get it:

Cut myself. I bought a Sim Cutter.

And it's 10sen for 10kb, but if you use more then RM5 worth, then they will still charge you RM5, regardless of how much more data you use.

Basically, a megabyte is RM 5.

I have the micro sim cutter. Looks like a stapler, but instead of staples, you put in a normal sized sim, punch it, and out pops a microsim.

If you guys are having an iPad Gathering soon, I can bring it along and cut micro sims for anyone.....

Waiting for beavis68 for my camera connection kit. Need it for my upcoming trip to Singapore and hk. Yes, I could buy it there, but don't want to risk it being sold out

I read that for the Celcom and Maxis PREPAID broadband, you need to SMS BROADBAND YES to activate the broadband, but digi doesn't right?

I'm on the Digi prepaid and it's working out fine for my iPad 3G
