I woke up just morning to find my phone dead. It was still on before I went to bed but looks like it was lazy and went to sleep too. Or rather not. It was spending the whole night SEARCHING for DiGi’s EDGE signal and *probably* after  a couple of hours, it got tired then decided to stop searching and take a nap. (it saves battery too).

A quick bootup on the phone shows that there is no service available so ZOMG what’s wrong with the phone. Enabled HSDPA and it worked! . SCEW DIGI SCEW DIGI!! My battery was at ~70% before I went to bed!

Fired up my Firefox web browser and loaded the DiGi customer support and here it is..

So there you have it! Cellphones without 3G shall not work today on DiGi’s fu*ked up network.
