Incoming calls? I thought it's unlimited also what.

Well, I use prepaid service.

But still about RM100/month. And I just use it mostly for sms.

RM100 = 1000 sms

Yeah, but I think Celcom has the best network quality & coverage... I used to study in Inti Penang and only Celcom has good reception there. My maxis on the other hard had difficulties getting reception.... So I had to buy a Celcom prepaid

Maxis or Celcom? If you guys can get your hands on the Mobile World Magazine Dec 06 issue, or there's an uploaded gif image of the article at

Otherwise, to summarize:

Performance

Average Download rate
- Celcom 3G : 330.8Kbps

- Maxis 3G : 155Kbps

Average Upload rate
- Celcom 3G : 55.2Kbps

- Maxis 3G : 45.1Kbps

Coverage
- Low reading for Maxis 3G at some locations, eg. KLCC Park besides Menara Maxis

Celcom's reading: 368Kbps (download) 59.4Kbps (upload)
- No reading for Maxis 3G at some locations, eg. PJ State, 7-11 along Jln Yong Shook Lin
Celcom's reading: 364Kbps (download) 59.4Kbps (upload)

Conclusion? Celcom is the way to go!

Celcom 3G beats Maxis 3G in uploading and downloading speed, so any wise 3G user will know what to do

wouldn't it be more accurate if they use a PCMCIA mobile card rather than using bluetooth to N70?
