Maxis : Automatic Data Upgrades

Maxis are currently upgrading their data packages for current users. I’m not sure of the various upgrades but both my wife and I have been upgraded to slightly better packages. It’s perfect timing for us, with the recent iOS 5 upgrades our data usage has increased and i found myself reaching or passing the limit with one week to go to my next billing cycle.

Our Upgrades 

Account 1
iValue 1 (iPhone) package. It was on a 500MB data for RM50.
Upgraded to 1GB for NO Extra Cost

Account 2
Regular 500MB data package for RM58
Upgraded to 1.5GB for No Extra Cost

Since account 1 got only a 500MB compared to a 1GB upgrade for account 2, i decided to call to check and apparently maxis has drawn up a new data to cost package, this upgrade of 1 GB is given to those who were with paying RM58 for 500MB ONLY.

I’m not complaining, not too sure if it’s the most competitive but i give props to Maxis for this automatic upgrade.

Maxis : How To Check Data Usage

Here’s a nice tip, this is how you can check how much you have exhausted off your monthly data usage from your monthly Maxis data package. Im on a 500MB plan which is sufficient for me as I’m on wifi when at home where I do my updates and other data hungry activities.

Using this method, you can ensure that you keep your data usage in check. If you don’t know already, it cost a bomb when you pass your monthly data cap so its good to check to ensure you don’t fall under that bracket.

I have friends that have a habit of loosing their mobile phones like they drop sweet wrappers. Here is an awesome infographics that gives a run down on the most common places that mobile phones are dropped.

Evolution of the iPhone

WIth the new iPhone due to be released in October, here is a cool infographic that compares the 5 generations that have braced the market. The device has changed the way we used our mobilie devices and toke Smartphones to the masses.

One thing really cool is just have a look at the app growth, from about 500 when the first iPhone was released against more than 500,000 today. For me, that’s what makes a great mobile experience.

iPhone 5?

The guys at MacRumours are at it again and im convinced that this is close to what could be the new iPhone 5.

Last month, we saw a leak of the design specification which claimed to be for the iPhone 5. Chinese case manufacturers seem to be betting on that design as they’ve already started producing cases based on that design document. We’d even requested and received some early renders based on the case designs.
