I am currently using a 2G iPhone. This morning I've just topup my Maxis prepaid and by midday my credit is almost half It doesn't seems to be right as I've just made one call and a few SMS along the way. Does anyone have any idea on what should I do? Thanks in advance.

install bosspref from cydia to disable the edge/gprs

u got open Edge or not? close all

It is due to charges by EDGE/GPRS

8. Toggle On/Off WiFI, SSH, EDGE and 3G connections.
a) Jailbreak phones use BossPrefs/SBSettings (downlod via Cydia) to toggle on/off connections.
b) Non Jailbreak phones, please enter e.g "nothing","DISABLE", "yourname" in your APN ( Settings, Network, Cellular Data Network, APN) to disable EDGE while 3G connection can be turn off via 3G iPhone settings. [GPRS = "o"] [EDGE = "E"] [3G = "3G"]

That is the solution but in case you don't know heads or tails about what that solution is about, you will have to go through all the pinned threads especially the "iPhone for Dummies" thread. Cheers.

Wonder why i always On and Off my Phone eh? Hehe!

Fren, pls provide further explanation on this matter..lately my maxis bill goes high even im not MMSing frequently.

go to the pinned "Iphone For Dummies" like Maverick Wil said . It will guide u to prevent this from happening *cheers*

TQ fren..noticed that & already install the app. but why this happen??i mean any activity on the background via the edge/gprss? - sory,try to locate by search button but couldnt find it...help.

go here - > http://forum.lowyat.net/iPhone

and take a look on all the PINNED thread...then u will know better already

thanks dat is very supportive...never knew the link b4 lol..

is iphone 2G support mms? sometimes mms also cost u some data charge

by default no
but in aid of 3rd party app, yes it can support mms

thanks guys for all the input. i hope to get it right after installin bosspref. now readin the iPhone for dummies pin...hope my head doesn't explode before i finish readin it

then it download the mms using gprs or edge?

yes it download using data packet..

yes, but ONLY when the setting input correct
i mean the setting option in the 3rd party app
else it just wont connect automatically

Just remove the Celular Data settings and disable EDGE in bosspref/SB Settings and then respring your phone ..

Works everytime with me ..

b) Non Jailbreak phones, please enter e.g "nothing","DISABLE", "yourname" in your APN ( Settings, Network, Cellular Data Network, APN) to disable EDGE while 3G connection can be turn off via 3G iPhone settings. [GPRS = "o"] [EDGE = "E"] [3G = "3G"]



Hi, if i wish to enable EDGE..what should i do? just remove the words "Disable".?? but still cannot connect back to internet...
