QUOTE(danieloo @ Oct 29 2010, 11:53 PM) I'm using Digi Prepaid Limited. The pack cost RM25. My was full sim card version. I cut myself to microsim. Got to know Digi now offer microsim version. You can just buy and use on Ipad. It's preloaded with 5days use. Once finish,just reload RM10 for 5 days use. Thanks for the reply, Speed is 3G / 384kbps. It's not bad & no problem if you are in city area. Outstation, will use edge speed. I'm now also use Digi easy prepaid for daily RM3 unlimited use (quota 100mb/day). Now I got option to switch daily or 5 days use? owh so now it's like u have two plans? 1 is for the daily and 1 is for the 5 days? If rm3 unlimited plan , they provide micro sim with it ? it works like normal sim card right ? instead of charging u for calling , texts, it charges u for data instead. sorry kinda confuse  This post has been edited by MariMo: Oct 30 2010, 04:47 AM |

QUOTE(jesse @ Nov 4 2010, 07:29 PM) Hi all, Hey JessAm interested to buy an iPad now, but some concerns here... iOS 4.2 coming out anytime now, so I wanted to wait for the 4.2 iPad retail set... But afraid that once 4.2 box set is here, demand would be high and will be in a long waiting list again... Should I buy one with 3.2.2 now (that is readily available in stores) and self upgrade later when 4.2 is released? Or should I wait for the 4.2 box set first and risk waiting for weeks or months? I know that it's the same in the end, but there's something about getting 4.2 right out of the box...  The upgrade from 3.2.2 to 4.2 for existing iPad owners will be free of charge right? I also considered waiting for iPad 2 (rumoured to b coming out either dec, Jan or April..or never...) but it appears tat iPad 2 with face time n cameras will be in 7" format like the samsung galaxy tab... Something I'm not too keen due to the smaller screen size... Sigh... Decisions, decisions... Any advice from apple fans? BTW, I'll be buying from singapore retail store...and this will be my first apple product... first off 1) There's some maxis insider claims that the ipad would be coming out b4 Xmas in Malaysia, which is up to ur believe or not 2) Upgrading firmware is free 3) From my point of view , I don't think Apple would launch a new iPad in January , and Apple products' price are very stable Btw, what's the purpose of purchasing an iPad for u ? Leisure ? This post has been edited by MariMo: Nov 4 2010, 07:43 PM |

Hi guys a noob question here, does the iPad 3G falls back or revert back to Edge if there is no 3g coverage for that area? As in the iPad will still be alble to access the net even there's no 3G coverage.

So does it mean that for those who bought their iPad from overseas , get to claim their warranty locally now?
