hey guys i recently purchased an iphone 3g (singtel set) and read of all the horror stories of people getting an insanely high bills because of the EDGE and 3G feature being switched on all the time. i called up maxis and upgraded to the 3G unlimited plan for RM99 a month. is this the safe option so that i don't end up with a rm400 bill for my edge 3g usage? does this mean i can switch on all the features on my iphone and use as much or as little as i want for rm99 a month?

also my data roaming in the settings menu is switched off. should i leave the switch on or off? what does it do actually?

hello bro....
1stly...its a good ting u did 2 upgrade 2 ur monthly 99...
smart option...
now.. if u choose not 2...maxis caps da usage for pay per use at rm240 or smwhr thr...
so basically its better if u did sign up..
use it all day long...anywhr in malaysia...
data roaming shud stay off in malaysia...and u can choose to use it when u travel abroad..but keep in mind tat the chargers wud be diff thr...
any ques?

unlimited data plan is the best choice la bro. No need to be scared by the high bill. All the free apps feel free to be played need not scared the ads cost u. I am also thinking whether to upgrade my data plan. Currently am using 5mb plan tat cost me rm8/month. Just to play safe.

I am on DiGi's Data Unlimited, RM66 ..
I'm a happy customer ..

no capping, i call up the other day to check got any fine print or not

maxis will limit their charge at rm 250

would you like ur phone being barred for call out and can receive call only? haha.. i bet not rite. so just play safe lo bro. always check ur current maxis bill via the website or call the hotline 123. This is how i did lo. Those who also applied for subline the limit is not 250 for urself only. is added another 250 on it. Like me i have 5 lines including the principal line. so total limit is 1250. if just solely use the internet, all my 5 phones will be barred in a week.

aiyoh, 5 line n maxis only gives u a limit of 1250?

A quick question about the maxis unlimited data plan. Can i have it with a pre-paid sim card ? or i need to switch to post-paid contract ?

Lol. If can be lowered i would prefer tat. My lines are standard plan. Cant afford to pay rm1k for just the phone bill.

kekekek, but y wanna sub so many line out?

Family of coz. I use 2 line. Kl n kch line. Last time got no 1 country 1 rate. I wont mind just to pay rm10 for each access fee.

big boss, so many lines

no la. Last time went to kl study my master degree n working there so ma get a kl line lo. Sub line is cheaper than u get a prepaid card.

wah, master degree...
limpe form 5 nia

Earn money legally n working experience is much more important than getting tat cert. I spent 50k for tat. Haha. Be yrself boss la.

i just signed up for the 5mb for rm8 package. i don't plan to do any serious surfing on 3g so this is just a backup.

i find out many buy iphone 3G, but no use 3G

The same reason why a lot buy the Nokia N95 but have no idea what the front camera is for. Buy because it is the latest. What a waste.

i tot N95 thye buy it for the GPS which many till now dun even know how to use it?

well, at least i can say, this iphone, i 3G-ed kaw kaw

all this while majority of malaysians do that.
buy becoz it's new version.
but never fully utilise all the functions.
