say, out of curiosity, for the high volume users, how much data do you average per month on 3G?

hmm. yeah, that's what I was thinking off too, which had me pondering on what the fuss is about unlimited data vs 500mb per month.

there is one type of usage which will maximise your unlimited data package; jailbreak your iPhone and from there, use voip services over the network.

i don't deny that i'm mildly frustrated with the fact that i can only use my skype credits whenever a (use-able) wifi signal is present.

furthermore, itunes/app store will not allow you to download contents exceeding 10mb in size. hence that's another data saver maneuver.

having said that, i have just recently purchased the DDR application (more than 100mb in size) and not only that i cannot download the app over the wifi via my iPhone, i have to actually use my macbook pro to download it separately and then installing it thereafter. what a hassle i tell you! tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

Pure speculation on my part. I think staff members have taken a big portion of the inventory and besides serious users buying, there are others signing up to sell for a profit.

However, I do not think they can sustain.

you are definitely right. with the mounting speculation of the upcoming, new iPhone, i fail to see how maxis will be able to sell within their proposed target.

maxis has always viewed that success of securing the iPhone contract is crucial as a way to win back its market share (even worse with the implementation of MNP recently).

however i'm rather sceptical whether it will work towards maxis advantage or vice versa. without a doubt, there will be a lot of pissed off consumers if they do find out the truth this June.
