Hi guys, I'm a Maxis 3G Unlimited Data plan subscriber and having trouble getting the internet connection work in my new iPhone. I've tried to use the EDGE setting recommended in the FAQ and it didn't work for me.

FYI, the Wifi works prerfectly fine but I want it to be connected via Maxis 3G internet though.

Can you guys please share some advise here?

Thanks!

Hi naughtyyz, thanks for your reply.

Yes. I'm using iPhone 3g. My setting for Cellular Data Network is below:
APN: net
Username: maxis
Password : wap

The error message I received from connecting to the internet are:
"Could not activate cellular data network"
"Safari can't open the page because it is not connected to the internet"

Hi Snuffykl, No. I'm new into iphone. Let me google 'bosspref" and look into this.

CooLerthings, the 3g coverage has been 'alright' in my area. It worked for my Nokia N95 8gb phone. Sometime I will get 3g signal and other time will mostly be GPRS. The bottomline is I can always connect to the internet with my Nokia N95.

Did I get my setting wrong?

Hi LaskarCinta, thanks for the tip. I did try that previously and just had just tried it again. It still gives me the same result. Below is the new setting I just applied:

APN: unet
Username: maxis
Password: wap

Thanks again!

Hi guys, I'm using an official unlocked 3G phone from Singtel. When I dialed *133#, I received the following message from Maxis.
"Terimakasih. GPRS anda kini aktif. Hubungi .........."

Hi Cola, I've been using the 3G internet plan for more than a year. I was trying to do everything I could to make it work with iphone.


Dear WaCKy-Angel, thank you!

Dear twinkles, i'm paying RM 99 per month.


Dear everyone,
I'm finally able to get my iPhone connected to Maxis 3G internet. To be honest with you, I didn't do much here. I repeated all my steps again from the beginning. Apparently it has something to do with the COVERAGE at my area. My guess the iphone doesn't work like my Nokia N95 8gb. I can connect to the internet easily with the n95 whereas it took iphone awhile to figure out. 50% of the time I won't be able to get online at all. This is kinda strange to me.

But anyhow, I will test my iphone 3g at some other area like KL, PJ or Subang later tonight. Hopefully the experience will be better than my area. I'll keep you guys posted.

Once again, thanks everyone for sharing your experience and advice with me. You guys are really helpful!
