thenemeanlion,

I had the same problem with my son's iphone. I forgot to use bosspref and he chalk about 75MB of download. The iphone would switch between the edge and the wifi depending on the quality of the signal. U can check out your data useage at the "settings", "General" and "Usage" then look at the Cellular Network Data and you would find that you indeed or rather you iphone is using the bandwidth. The iphone is design as a internet phone.

I would suggest that you do the following, try to download "Bosspref" as recommended and disable the Edge network. Also to be sure go to the "Settings" "General" "Cellular Data Network" you will find that it is blank and the iphone is smart enough to figure how to login. Key in a bunch of rubbish and that way your iphone would never be able to login to the Maxis Cellular network and you won't be bill. If you depend of Bosspref and the then someone itchy finger turn it on again the susah leh.

My son chalk about RM250/= of usage for 10 days sad.gif because I forgot to turn it off.
