Here's my thot on maxis' approach to handling the iphone situation. If they are not the least bit concern about us malaysian who are devious enuf to bring in the iphone for our own personal use on THEIR network, they should at least consider the vast no of foreigners that will be using their iphone (via roaming services) here in msia. This is esp so when apple have already announced the launch of the iphone in UK via their preferred carrier, O2 to be November 9th; that's only a little over a month away MAXIS!!!!!

Now, for these pple, i'm sure they will have the same problem and will choose to roam with either Digi and Celcom.

My apologies as I'm so darn frustrated that Maxis has not even bothered make a statement about this; either that or they are completely oblivious to the INTERNET!!!!!

Ive been to the maxis centre already and i think they were more preoccupied with playing with my iphone than actually able to do anything. They will still revert to their HQ and based on the previous post, the resolution has to be way they configure their EDGE system.

So, dun bother to go to maxis centre as i have already tried that!

Can i suugest that we start with this guy:
(from http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/about_us/people/senior.asp)

Jon Hoffmann
Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Head of Network Engineering & Operations (NEO)

Jon was appointed Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Head of Network Engineering & Operations (NEO). He will be responsible for the operations of the Maxis telecommunications network.

Jon brings with him over 21 years of telecommunications experience. He joins us from Wataniya Telecom, Kuwait where he last held the position of Chief Technology Officer. Jon was successful in replacing/upgrading all of Wataniya Telecom's technical infrastructure components including Radio, Core, VAS, CRM and Billing in a relatively short time with HSDPA, all IP, converged Internet, Fixed net, Mobile net, Prepaid and Postpaid.

Prior to that, Jon was with Telenor Nordic Mobile, Norway (the parent company of Sonofon) as the CTO where he assumed responsibility to merge the IT and Network organization of the Telenor Mobile operations of Telenor Mobil Norway, Djuice Sweden and Sonofon Denmark. He was also employed with Sonofon Denmark as Chief Technology Officer and Jydsk Telefon in Denmark and Germany as Manager, Software Development.
Jon holds a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering specializing in EDP Systems from Aalborg University.


If there is anyone who knows (or of someone from maxis) who can get us his email address, perhaps we can all write a petition to him. Maybe he only sits in his office and answers his emails without any access whatsoever to the internet and the news relating to maxis as a service provider???

Added on September 25, 2007, 4:45 pmthere are some initial problems for the 1st version of hack for access to youtube on hacked iphone; thereafter, ive gotten help in resolving it. now, youtube works great on both wifi and EDGE connections. nothing to do with being in Malaysia.

No worries, there are never stupid questions, just stupid service providers. Can you all tell i'm still greatly upset I can't get incoming calls on my iphone via Maxis?!?!!?

Hi Wei,

I found this via the net but am not very tech savvy enough to try it... can let me know if it will work? I will then try to get my fren to help me to the WinSCP thingy:

So here's how to get rid of EDGE!- it
unfortunately requires some knowledge of SSH or at least the graphical SSH
(WinSCP).

Note: Prior to doing this you need to have OpenSSH installed on your phone
through iBrickr.
Step 1: SSH into your phone
You do this by getting a program called Putty or WinSCP and remotely
connecting to your iPhone. Do this by first connecting your iPhone to
your local WiFi and then checking to see the IP. Use this IP to log
in.

The username / password is root and dottie.
Step 2: Go to this directory -
/var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Step 3: Back up preferences.plist by copying it to some other file
name (preferences.backup) and then copy it over to your desktop.
Step 4: Open preferences.plist in Wordpad and search for the term
"cingular".


You'll see this:

<key>apn</key>
<string> wap.cingular</string>
<key>password</key>
<string>CINGULAR1</string>
<key>username</key>
<string>WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM</string>

Change the string "wap.cingular" to "whatever" (or anything you want).
Step 5: Copy the preferences.plist file back to your iPhone.
Restart, and you should now be off the EDGE network!

thx for the info guys. still no dice with my iphone on maxis then
