Recently I noticed my phone balance reduces very quickly. I suspect something amiss. I went into Celcom online to check my phone usage. All you have to do is to sign up to their website to have that feature.
I saw a lot of 050|10005 type charges. I called up Celcom careline. The agent told me it is internet charges. Believed me I have my Edge turn off and I went to my iPhone browser, I cannot load anything. Now I am not sure how my iPhone can surf the net. The agent asked me to go to a handphone shop to format my phone. That does it! What kind of answer is that? It is just like telling me to have my PC formatted if my browser doesn’t work. Apalah! Celcom please trained your agent not to give silly solution to your customer. *FRUS*
You know why Celcom do not want to put any APN setting? Digi actually put an APN setting, it ensure those who wants to use Edge will need to key in the login and password. It prevents user from accidentally turn on Edge. But Celcom wants to suck all our $$$.
Now if you are a Celcom user and you don’t want them to suck your $$$. You better go to APN setting and put “SILLYCELCOM”. That does the trick. It will stop Celcom sucking your $$$ from your phone. Actually it prevents you from using Edge/GPRS. If you want to use it, just remove the APN setting.
One more thing, you also need to turn off auto PUSH from the email setting.
Goto Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network

hahaha…ya…same goes with maxis…reli terrible…some of my fren can’t stand it..and change to digi d….
it is normal for all telcos, so please be a ‘smart’ users.. don’t blame telco when your very sophisticated phone accidentally use data service.
i wondering why u all guys having a very expensive phone but very ‘kedekut’ to pay for data services. iphone without data service is useless.. so, just subscribe data package to prevent any unexpected charge
holabola: First pls don’t assume. My iPhone is not expensive n I have free wifi. I don’t need a data plan. Second did anyone teach you not to waste. If I don’t need it why should I pay for it. Pay only when you use. Not pay when you don’t use.
damn.. was kena like that oso, better then, mine was on postpaid, realized it when suddenly a msg saying was on credit limit received.
one question tho, if we left cellular data apn empty, it still silently sucking $$$ and by putting false apn it will stop $$$ sucking? im sure that i cant browse safari with empty apn (but still, my phone bill was suddenly go high, rm100 in only 3 days!)
for maxis user, there is no way to enter or change the apn setting! and there is no way to turn off EDGE for iphone 3G unless i jailbreak it. even with all the PUSH off, they still can charge user the data charges by using sms service. damn …
