hey guys, i just changed my operator again from celcom->digi-> and now to maxis!

first, i had some probs with celcom 3g over here in penang around bayan lepas area, it wasn't stable to say at least. Then digi was good, very stable edge support no matter where i go. Eventually, i changed my line to maxis thinking it would be a better 3g than celcom...but boy, was i wrong.

I can't seem to get a good 3g connection here, my phone kept going into gprs mode (can't even find edge) and also it's hard to have 3g mode at all...whats going on? Is maxis coverage in penang really that bad?

Anyone care to share your experience here for penang 3g?


If yes i have to start switching back to digi again

yeah, thats the thing. and even bayan lepas is covered with full 3g.

im using nokia 5800xm. Supposed to be ok kua. I mean it was okay when using celcom , but worsen when using maxis.

say..it seems to work! weird!

shouldn't the phone be smart enough not to switch to 2g if i get ok signal..i mean, since i switched to 3g mode only, i get full bar 3g somemore.

hey guys, what do you use to keep track of your usage? any symbian s60 v5 apps for it? im using nokia 5800.

or maybe maxis themself have some sms service that'll tell me when im almost there?

RM99 was too exp for me since i already have streamyx. So now im on the new 500mb limit...

nokia's log->data counter has some probs...I switch between wifi and 3g, although it allows me to filter the list based on the type, it won't report the total amount used for each type of connection. Unless i go into each item one by one and calculate the total!
