Edit:- The things inside the spoiler is my old question..Now I know what's EDGE, how to subscribe and whats the speed "/

How to subscribe and setup?:-
- Go to your nearest DiGi center, ask them that you want to subscribe to unlimited data plan [RM 99 per month]
- You'll need at least 21 y.o and above [lol, I didn't know this until the DiGi spokesman told me about this when I want to sign up..[of coz, I'm 21+../sweats../old]
- After you sign up, you'll need wait for the activation, normally half in hour or within 2 days [thanks mumeichan for told me this "/]
- Just make sure you have EDGE enabled phone, I'm using Nokia 6230i as the modem.
- Whats the configurations? It's same with GPRS configuration settings, just dial *128#, select Mobile Services-> GPRS-> Unlimited Plan-> Settings.
- After you got the settings and activated it, you're ready to go ^^".

Connecting to your computerp:-
- Install Nokia PC Suite.
- Connect your phone to your computer, and open Nokia PC Suite, and select Connect to the Internet, then select DiGi Malaysia and click Connect.
- Or alternatively, you can always create a new connection with dialing number is: *99#, with blank username and password.

Download Speed: Up to 29.5kb/s or 236kbps
Upload Speed: 5kb/s or 40kbps

Please do remember, this is not 3G.. /sweats

GPRS should be slow < 5kb/s
EDGE > 15kb/s

test http://bandtest.jaring.my/initialmeter.php

my speed at bandar sunway (pjs7) is around 17kbps

How much do you need to pay monthly for the DiGi's unlimited data plan?

In the Data Plans page of the Digi website it says RM33/month but in the FAQ page it says RM99 is charged monthly.

Thanks.

my friend using it now..sometime can get 23k dl speed

but bad side is the upload speed is terrible, and always timed out when trying to upload an image file to imageshack or photobucket /sweats/

Kameshikarin: RM 99 is for the unlimited plan, RM 25 is only for 6MB data usage..uh..RM 33?..not sure

Thanks GameSky for the reply. Now I see, if you subscribe to a supplementary data plan as well then I'll cost RM33 per month.

check out this site

http://www.im.net.my

it sure beat EDGE

its just concentrate on 1 place

is there any way to tweak the upload speed?

With 6230i, look at "G" symbol on the screen (top left corner).

Plain G = GPRS.
G with square box around it = EDGE.

I always find the latency horrible using Digi. Okay for checking email and surfing web, but not for anything interactive.

who told you that squared-G is EDGE?

the fact is:
G means connecting
squared-G means connected

I checked the phone manual. Looks like I was wrong.

It says plain G means GPRS is available and "always connected" was chosen. Square-G means connection is currently established. There seems to be no indication of whether it's GPRS or EGPRS, or of what the data rate is.

To know if you are on EDGE or GPRS, you can check your phone's indicator if it has one. G is for GPRS and E is for EDGE.

You can download something using a download manager like flash get. If you get 4 bars for signal strength, you can download at 10kBps to 25kBbps. If you are on GPRS, you will be downloading at max 5kBps

If you are on EDGE, lowyat.net main page will load in about 30 seconds. If you are on GPRS, it will probably never load.

If the phone does not move at all, the speed should be very stable. But the speed is very sensitive to the signal strength. In an area of 30x30cm, the signal strength can be from 1 bar to 4 bars. At 1 bars probably your speed is few hundred bytes perseconds to 2k bytes perseconds. At 4 bars, it will be around 18kBps to 25kBps.

B=bytes
b=bits

One question, if using DiGi Edge, can it be used to play online game? like dota etc

Says who you probably can't load lyn wif GPRS, i have even sent out IM using a CSD connection. yes it takes sometime to load. but it eventually loads.

yes if you prepare to lag out or feed

hm..it seems EDGE quite ok, for normal surf net, mail, download some stuff...but the upload rate..uh..always time out /sweats/

Ts, borrow thread for a while. thanks!:)

Hm,

let's say i don't have an edge phone. but i have a laptop and the slot. so, if i wanna use the edge by digi, only way is to get the edge pc card modem. How much will it cost me for it?


another question, if run on gprs( use phone as gprs and connect via bluetooth to laptop to surf net)..can connect msn for chatting ah?


This post has been edited by cadmus: Mar 19 2007, 01:30 AM

yes, you can use a datacard
please confirm that your slot is PCMCIA slot
if i'm not mistaken, i saw digi selling for 700-800, but it's edge-capable only

why not?
that's what i'm doing now
but we recommend you to use USB cable for stability
BT seems to dc sometimes

Ic ic. Btw, erm, what is the total bandwidth digi is giving us when we use GPRS/EDGE?

cos if i;'m not mistaken, for maxis broadband, they are limiting it to 3gb per month..So, i wanna know whether digi is doing the same thing or not.

HAve you tried to do speed test using GPRS? how fast can it go?

This post has been edited by cadmus: Mar 19 2007, 11:38 AM

GPRS = very darn slow..

EDGE = can reach 25kb/s dl speed

ic. ic.

so, do you have any idea which EDGE phone model is the cheapest ? reliable one of course.

currently my friend using Nokia 6230i [less than RM600]..so far no problem.. "/..

I think I gonna get DiGi EDGE soon, too...lol

ic ic. what is his speed when use nokia 6230i?

other than the edge no problem..the function as a phone..is it good?

cadmus: Try ask it over here :-
http://forum.lowyat.net/HandphonesandCommunications "/

can 3g phone like V3X, be use for Digi EdGe??

bravobronzo: I don't think Motorola V3X have EDGE "/...more info:-
http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_v3x-1120.php

i'm also a DiGi EDGE user for 4 month now. Satisfied with the performance although sometimes the speed depends on area and time that you use it. Using 6230i also as a modem. Maybe for those that are interested can find out other phone model that support higher download speed since 6230i only support up to 230++kbps only.

bear in mind though that rm99/month is without the 5% tax. so you're maybe paying rm103.95 at least.

does motorola got edge?

Motorola v360 is one of them

I was digi edge users, it was good but the only bad thing about it is users will be given internal ip address, which makes it hard to bit torrent effectively and also to log in IRC servers. and bad pings (500-700ms)

other than that it rocks.

soul2soul: You can always use proxies "/, proxies does work for EDGE too "/...yea...bad pings..maybe due to low upload speed..only around 20~40kbps or 2.5~5kb/s

anyone notice that ..digi has the data unlimited 50% but no sure is it compusory to get the new h/p from them or not
but only 6 months period....it is great deal

This post has been edited by asiatrader98: Apr 2 2007, 09:48 AM

asiatrader98: You mean there's a promotion now "/?..haven't check about it..lol

Normally, in half an hour, they will activate it for you.

Digi's EDGE promotion now is great. I think I'm gonna get the dopod M700. 6 month 50% plus the M700 cost only Rm1399 after discount. Plus feee bluetooth headset. Looks like the iClip to me.

This post has been edited by mumeichan: Apr 2 2007, 10:52 AM

mumeichan: Lol, really? coz last time at DiGi centre there, he told me need wait within 2 days for activation :sweats:

i mean, motorola L6?
does motorola L6 got EDGE?

This post has been edited by nanashah: Apr 2 2007, 11:26 AM

great deal? why dopod M700?

Officialy it is 2 day, so they will surely say it takes two days. If you go to a digi dealer, specialised store or any normal hp shop it will take 2 day or sometimes more. But dealer have special link with Digi. They can sctivate you line very fast and can cancel your line very fast too and everything is almost instant one. The last time i signed up, they guy said two days. But 30 minutes later, he called me up and say my line activate already.

No

Why dopod M700, cos it is the cheapest. I don't really need a powerfull PDA. I just want it to be a modem, phone and something I can use when the size of my laptop is inconvenient or too risky to to use . m700 suits me fine. They have the 838 pro, c800 and another model too.

Actually I am more interested in the data plan than the PDA. I might look for someone who wants the PDA at a discounted price and just I just get the dataplan. I might see if any lowyat members are interested or not.

This post has been edited by mumeichan: Apr 2 2007, 07:03 PM

thank for the info.... that mean u have to buy the phone from digi in order to get the 50% data plan for the 6 months in addition to the postpaid subscription? .....i am also keen the 50% data plan only....i will call digi cs to confirm this later

This post has been edited by asiatrader98: Apr 3 2007, 08:03 AM

If I am not mistaken that is how it goes. Have to buy a phone with a subscribtion for a new postpaid line. Then you can sign up for data unlimited plan plus and get 50% off for six months. You can sign up just for a data unlimited plan without voice plan and it is still considered postpaid.

but may not enjoy the 50% off for 6 months

ah...i wanted to get the promotion plan too..lol..but..I'm already subscribed..LOL

I think now for the new customers, who want to apply for data plan package, got discount when buying phone from them?

wow, very attractive.....i saw the mkt price of this M700 is around RM 1920 - 2000

http://www.mobile88.com/mobilegallery/phon...20390&Malaysia=

ok..received my first bill..hm..

anyway, DiGi CS really nice ^^...yesterday call them about my EDGE can't connect..then they help me figure out..within 2 hours..can work ...

They even call me today regarding whether I still have problem with EDGE or not..

Though EDGE speed can't compare to streamyx or 3G, but their customer support really good ^^.

This post has been edited by GameSky: Apr 4 2007, 06:02 PM

Yup. Digi cust service is much much better than any telco in malaysia.

wanna ask....if i apply for unlimited plan...izzit for a year contract ah? If i use it for a month can??

The good thing about Digi is there is no contract. You can sign up today and cancel tomorrow. The only thing is you have to pay M100 advance payment(not deposit) so let's say first month's bill is RM104, then you pay only RM4 at the end of the month cause you already paid RM100 when you sign up.

benedictHHH: Yea, as mumeichan mentioned..NO CONTRACT...

if i know got maxis 3g i aso dont wan use edge regret slow n always dc

I just got a brochure yesterday. I don't know if valid for PC fair only or not. But it says if register now, get 3 months at 50% for unlimited data.

hi, did you meant that we can subcribe to unlimited data plan ONLY and pay RM99 plus 5% tax NET? No other monthly subscriptions or charges? FYI, i'm not a Digi subscriber. thanx.

Yup, Rm99 plus 5% tax nett.

The first month you pay extra Rm10 for some fee , I forgot what already.

If you use Master Card autopay, you save RM10 a month.

only Master card? visa cannot ?

any promotion for digi EDGE now ?

Last time I check, I noticed master card only. Maybe Visa can, when you sign up at the Digi Centre (Never go to dealer or specialised store) go and ask them Visa can use or not.

Now as far as I know got 50% promotion for 3 months.

anyone using edge in tmn bukit serdang area? or does anyone knows how's the coverage there? the digi contact centre can't give me a definite answer coz they're not sure themselves. don't want to subscribe to it and later regret. thnx.

why dont u get prepaid number and try it?

Right, you can try with prepaid first. Digi staff can't give you definite answer or they will be lying. For example, officialy the area may support EDGE, but so happen, the area where you will use it frequently is an EDGE blind spot. Got signal but no EDGE. So best is to check it yourself with a prepaid card first.

Greetings !

I have used before DiGi's EDGE service with my laptop in the office. I got another type of Mobisurf hardware which is a PCMCIA Sim Card reader and I have tested it out. For basic usage it seems to be pretty ok but not for heavy downloads and uploads traffic ..
Sometimes the signal strength is not good as well ... will turn to be like a 56K Modem speed ..

HughiE

This post has been edited by HughieRmX: Apr 24 2007, 08:21 AM

eh..how to check with prepaid card?....

If your phone has an EDGE indicator, then when you are in an area that supports EDGE, the indicator will indicate it. Just like those 3G phones, when you go into a 3G area, a 3G icon comes one. Most new nokia phones from 6230i onwards has this feature. Motorola phones that support EDGE also should have this feature.

If not, you just plug the phone into your computer as a modem. Then run a speedtest, beeslinebandwith, jaring, speedometer, whatever you like. If the speed is good(15-25kBps) then got EDGE lah.

new Digi Edge user here. I was asking bout Digi Wifi but they recommend me to use Edge instead. The CS was at Times Sq. Paid RM100 for registration. They gave me a supplementary sim. Now using Nokia E65 as modem. Looks ok so far. Will update again later.

only certain Hp support EDGE? not all?

There is no such thing as Digi Wifi. Digi just has an agreement with Airzed. So when you subscribe for Digi Edge unlimited, you get Airzed wireless unlimited as well.


Yup. Not all. Like certain HP support gprs, then got certain HP support 3G.

Go check their website!
http://digi.com.my/data_services/gprs/data...ifi_overview.do

Yes, u're rite on that Airzed deal. But to correct you, there is such thing as DiGi Wifi!

This post has been edited by EightPhantomz: May 7 2007, 04:31 PM

i already test my edge wif the url u give.i dun think that test is correct.im using Digi EDGE Suplementary card on my SE W810i as a modem n the result is :-

Your current bandwidth reading is:

8.19 Mbps

which means you can download at 1.02 MB/sec. from our servers.

but when i test using this url http://www.jaring.com.my/broadband/index.h...nt=flite_intro#

i got different result and i think dis 1 is correct
i got download speed of 233kbps n upload speed of 67kbps

for ur information,my w810i connect at a speed of 921kbps
that is after i maximize the modem speed.
i dunno if ur nokia can maximize ur modem speed but i ody try maximize n70 modem i i can connect at 921kbps.

well,4 now i can play ran online wifout problem.only wen my hp batt is low then the connection is poor.

Wow, interesting! I'm using Nokia E65 as modem. I will try to maximize my modem later at home. Now at work and didnt bring my cable. If you dont mind, can show how to maximize?
Will also check on that DOWNTHEMALL thing aswell. Thanks for such info!

PS Hows the bittorrent speed?

This post has been edited by EightPhantomz: May 10 2007, 11:51 AM

i'm using my pda as a modem to on9.
using edge to surf net is quite good.

im using DiGi EDGE on my Nokia 9300i connected thru USB to my laptop.. I'm quite okay with the speed..

Already maximized to 921.6 Kbps and using DOWNTHEMALL as download accelerator. Really cool! Can get 35 KB/s for downloads. That depends to my location. Tho its not as fast as 3G and all, its still a decent connection. No complains at all.

Folks:
I am very very new on the edge..... and need some answer b4 i subscribe:

Is the connection speed different with different hand phone model? For example, nokia 9300 communicator (EGPRS class 10, can send/receive faxes (236.8 kbit/s) ) vs nokia 9500 communicator ( 177 kbps EDGE ). Since both phone was equipped with different speed, then I thought the speed must be different. Am I right? If I am right, then which Edge phone in the market have the highest speed? (prefer to be price below 1k)

Big big thanks in advance for advice me on this.....

just a quick question: downthemall is a download manager or?...

anyway...my bt can run up to 26kbps with EDGE...at least "/

i dont understand..15-25kbs?
shouldn't that be too slow?...

yes DOWNTHEMALL is a download manager. an addon for mozilla firefox.

should be around 25KB/s not 25kb/s. major diffrent.

I am thinking of digi unlimited data plan but I don't want to use my phone as a modem as I want it online 24/7. I just called Digi, the sales guy recommended a PC card that cost RM1k from SE, which I think it's too expensive...Anybody using any PC card as a modem? Any good recomendation as alternative to handphone as modem? Thanks

er... wats the speed for edge ar?

is it 300++kbps?
can bt or p2p? hehe X)

not recommended for bt but if u still wanna try, go on...

EDGE is the only way to get you online [at least at higher speeds] where streamyx, 3g are not available at your area X_X...you dont want to use 56k to online do you ?

So, 3G definately higher speed compares to Edge. But, 3G not available in many places..... just wondering..... do 3G able to convert to GPRS when it is not available in certain places like what Edge did?

Hi guys, i know many of you are really out of choice than only choose digi edge. Sick of slow connection speed ? May be a little treak can brighten your day. Try this freeware, it is really good and my edge connection speed is boosted nearly 200% to 225kbps by using it. http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
It is call TCP OPTIMIZER and you can also try using opendns to improve your speed too. and here is how.
http://www.opendns.com/start/windows_xp.php

With these let me know if your speed is increased . Hv a nice day.
