i just signed up 1GB data RM38 add-on to my current postpaid package for iPhone. I need some advices here. How to save data amount using in iPhone? I turn on Cellular Data and Enable 3G only when i want use data.

U can use it like dat but u cant received/send mms if u turn off cellular data..im using celcom exec50+rm68 unlimited b.band..i think its better & safer to use unlimited to avoid exceeding data limit..& if u compare with other operator unlimited data,celcom's unlimited data (rm68 & rm98) plan is far cheaper & better..

It's slower then BillshoxToTheMax-is, but at least no Billshock. And there is no such thing as "unlimited data", at least not in the truest sense (24/7/365 full speed internet). My "Unlimited Data" package is capped at 5GB and throttled to 256kbps (I think) after that.

But when you consider the fact that going over the cap doesn't give you additional charges (unlike Maxis) and you can still use your slower throttled connection for as much as you want, it might just be "Unlimited" after all.

Only in a very limited way lol.

Official news! Celcom will be selling iPhone4 very very soon!

last time also mention like that.... just wait for their website official news will be the best.

useless la.. new iphone should be launching in less than 6 months time

does anyone know how to check which date is the cut off date for the data package in celcom every month? thinking to reset my iphone statistic on the cut off date, so can easily see how much data i have using for a month.... thx

yay ! i saw him tweets about it!

The reset date should be the 3rd of every month. And use the iDataUsage app for that, it's much easier to keep track.

And an official Celcom iP4 THIS late in the game? Granted we have a solid 4-5 months before the Five ARRIVES OFFICIALLY on our shores, but that's cutting it really2 close. Unless they exclusively have the WHITE one lol.

And for the love of God, NO UPWARDS REVISION OF THE DATA RATES CELCOM.

A larger throttle cap for us Unlimited 3G Advanced guys would be appreciated though, say 15-20GB?

But, really, a year of rumours and hot air and they expect us to wait for them? Lol.

no shock from internet... however your calls and sms can contribute to high bills

@Eiraku there's still millions of Celcom subscribers... they're doing this to keep their loyal customers, not attract Maxis / Digi customers who want low rates. why should Celcom lower their rates? aren't they making lots of money already?

I'm not asking them to go lower, I'm asking them not to go batshit crazy with the rates like Maxis did after they first became an Official iPhone distro (3G? 3GS? Forgot). I distinctly remember Maxis data rates gradually going sky-high, leading to the complete discontinuation of the "Unlimited Data" package.

The current Celcom plans are good enough (especially the Biz plans). The asking for extra cap thing was just me being wistful.

Unless CelAxi comes up with EVEN BETTER plans lol, you never know. But knowing how greed drives this industry, sigh.

But if they really are coming up with the 4 (without succumbing to too much greed), I'm actually quite glad. Other then the epileptic billing and unbelievable data congestion in urban areas (and not so fun 3.2mbps max cap where it's not congested), Celcom has yet to fail me, and it's gonna be an easy reccomendation to anyone I know wishing to get themselves an iPhone.

If they really are coming with the 4 soon ANYWAY. We've been hearing rumours since ooooo, last year? So forgive me for being even remotely skeptical.

As for Maxis, my own brother is bleeding due to billshock and there's absolutely nothing he can do about it until 2012, except maybe report to the Consumer Tribunal.

And yes, he keeps a close tab on his data usage, but gets billshocked anyway. Damned leaches.

Yup.."unlimited" in package name only..for rm68 3gb & rm98 5gb..dfferent speed & maxis/digi is faster..its unlimited coz no charge for over-limit usage..so no need to think of ur bill when surfing/streaming/downloading..so its worth it & can say a smarter choice..

@eiraku well, your brother has my sympathies for signing a 2-year contract with a known leech.

Guys.. Celcom is really bringing iPhone 4 in the next coming month (Probably next month).
I just get this communication today.

Where did u get ths bro?Looks promising..

I'm working at Celcom. Dont worry, it's really going to be launch soon.

what is the rate plan like bro?any idea?

Yeah..got any specific plan for iphone?& how about price bro?at last we got real news from Celcom insider..

true.lol.now we can have correct news!
