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

Motorola v360 is one of them

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Digi postpaid still RM99 per month la. Only supplementary line is 33 a month

Been so long since I've used EDGE. Now what's the best plan if I want a principal line with voice and sms and a data only supplementary line.

Is it
Principal 66(data) + 30(voice)
Supp 33(data)
