of course maps needs lots of data.
the maps displayed is a combination of lots of pictures.

no budget le bro...

no news abt bonus oso

Just received my first full month bill with using iphone 3g. Used 4.3mb for maxis mobile internet. charged rm23.66 but rebate rm20.25 for 5mb data bundle so totalled mobile internet chrages is 3.41. i tot is gonna charge me rm8 for all. strange.

if i didnt subscribe for 5mb mobile internet, the total charged will be like RM43.00.

how do you keep track on how much data connection you have used? 3rd party apps?

Setting>Usage>Cellular Data Network

Hi,

I am on Maxis RM8/= for 5MB and when I was in China 2 weeks ago, saw an SMS from Maxis that roaming charges is RM102.50 per/mega byte .

WOW

jackdon

1 MB is RM102.50?

roaming 3G is the most expensive, tats is y, at ori settings, the roaming data is being turn off

@jackdon,
At RM102.50 p/MB you're better off just paying the hotel for internet connection

Anyhow, I must have done something to disable the 3G setting on my iPhone 3G because it doesn't work! I understand there's no need to be in any setting and it should work immediately but it doesn't work on mine and I haven't had time to call Maxis to check re the activation and all.

Anyways, good call changing to a RM99 Unlimited Data Package plan. Speaking of which, is there a lock-in period when we make the change or can we change it back to our usual plan when we decide to?

1mb >rm102??? that is wow.. roaming really chopping ppl.

in HK, it is approximately rm50/mb whilst it will set one back at AUD13/mb in australia.

data roaming normally 3x of local charges, like 3cts/kb (for SG)
i think apply to other country data roaming

tinkerbel, u can cancel the subscriptioni anytime

Sorry Bit OOT here.. just wondering how bout Celcom's 3G? worth it?

bro are you sure Maxis will caps the usage?

i just got my bill 3 days ago, 700RM+++

just came back to this country 1 month ago, and i use 700RM++++!!!!!!!!!

next day immediately I went to signup with the 99 plan....

if roaming i dont think they cap it.
that's the time they make money of course

it's not roaming, i got a maxis a/c, and they still didnt cap me...i gonna go and ask them since i haven't paid yet.

i've noticed my bill has gone up abit since i got my iPhone. should i turn Location Services off? 'cause sometimes when i play games there will be a prompt asking whether the game can use my Location Service. is it accessing to the net?

would the RM8 per month data plan be sufficient for me for some light GPS usage? RM99 is too expensive for me dy.

gps mayb ok.
but not maps i guess.
