Hi

Anyone know is that we must buy the usb wireless broadband adapter? I heard the price is expensive. Is there anyway to get a package without buying the thousand ringgit adapter?

pls advise

yea go for the maxis 1.... as u c on the LYN page

celcom also can.....u can subscribed to the package without the modem/adapter..

I'm using the RM68 without the adapter.

one day igoto celcom.. then i ask.. we need to buy first.. then baru leh guna.. mahal 2!!!!!!!!

U can get cheaper via lelong.com....It's around RM550-RM750..for pcmcia datacard even cheaper around RM250-RM400...just search for "3g usb/3g datacard"

Does Celcom Broadband works if I use a 3G phone instead? I got a Nokia N series here.

Yes it's works either using any 3G/3.5G phones, PCMCIA 3G/3.5G datacard, Express 3G/3.5G datacard or USB 3G/3.5G modem....all the same...

.But For everyone info, Celcom lone for the past weeks are bad. They admitted this and currently upgrading their service which they targetted by 11/11/07....So check the Celcom 3G thread for further update on this terrible service rite now....

its work for symbian phone with 3g and wife hehe

Their line is horrible, not even 38.4kbps. You use it, you regret with it.

Does anyone knows if the Celcom 3G service has improved..?

Im thinking of subscribing but i hate the fact that i have to buy the modem adapter..btw how much does it cost?

Yes it has been rectified since last week as promised by them. but dunno how long..Rite now certain memberes infact experience speed exceeding 1000kbps

Check this review thread:

a question..does celcom have datacard for express card slot?

Why u need to buy from celcom? Just buy the card from lelong.com or LYN Garage sales-lah...Just subscribe for the service & not the card.

yes i know that i can get it elsewhere, but does celcom have it?

No idea..Not interested anyway..They are selling twice the price u can get from Lelong..why borther ..Imagine the usb huawei modem selling at RM1200 when u can get for ~RM600 from lelong.com...

well maybe the one they were selling is a original model...most of people who sellin that usb modem through lelong are ap set if im not mistaken

want to ask...what is the different of connection by using usb/data card and using 3g/3.5g phone as modem???is it true the connection by using phone not stabil?any suggestion best phone can be use as modem for celcom 3g?thanx...

Huh so many such questions nowadays OK-lah here are the diff:

Pros on Datacard & Cons on phone

1) No need to recharge phone & no int battery - For phone u will surely reduce the battery lifespend from continuous charging & HOT
2) Lotsa datacard having HSDPA (3.5G) spec but phone wth HSDPA spec are very limited. Most phones (not all) still using 3G tech! 3.5G phone is expensive!

Pros using integrated phone & Cons on datcards
1) All -in one. Datacard have to bring seperately everywhere..some as big as Modem just lke those Maxis modem.

Interm of stability & signal strengh, I dun think any different...

try 2 answer....

1) using usb/datacard

- can reach max speed ie; 384kbps / 3.6mbps depends on device dad u spend out...range price between rm400-900

- doesn't interrupt ur voice call...

- more privacy...

2) using 3g / 3.5g phone

- sumtimes certain model does not support max speed...on which plan dad u subscribed

- lack

recommended fone N95, E90, LG shine 4get da model, N93


thumbs up for celcom BB.....

ok...thanx for the answer...any recommend phone...middle one...not so expensive may be 3g/3.5 phone that stabil when connecting? now using nokia 6120c(bad in battery life) and subscribing celcom daily bb...quite slow...may be not stable...even speed show at computer show reach 400kbps(on the computer)-not sure real speed.but i'm not test any speedmeter yet.hope any suggestion becoz want to help my friend buy the phone and i also before subscribe celcom d68 on january...thanx...

is valuable using celcom..but bit expensive la

i was ask about USB modem now only rm85...i want know wireless celcom is ok no not?means it stable?speed...

USB modem RM85, you sure?
or is it USB adsl modem?

n70 maybe suit 4 dis kind of service.... but y dun u used it separately meaning 2 say.... data card which is can get roughly RM400- 500....!! which is u can enjoy ur speed wtout any hassle..........

Im using D120 wit Sieera wireless card A850.....!!

i got another 1 cingular AT&T HSDPA mind 2 sell it 4 RM500.....PM me if interested......

try n then feel it....coz im using now D120 plan which im enjoy wit it....!! Now dad D120 is reduce 2 D98 max speed 3.6mbps.....

Just asking....Is Celcom broadband worth buying for....I ask this because i'm looking for a reliable service...and is it necessary to get their wireless modem from Celcom....

I'm currently a college student in Masterskill College, Cheras and with money <RM1000....what kind of package IYHO is affordable and good for students like me? Is there anything that i need to know about Celcom?what are their pro's and cons of Celcom BB?

well....that's all for my questions.I just ask to satisfy my curiosity.

thanx and hope for swift replies...

The most affordable package is the RM68/mth unlimited but capped at 384kbps (previously not capped & speed can be higher than 1mbps!)..Who say u need to buy the modem from celcom? U can get it from Lelong.com or here!...I got my HSDPA/3.5G modem for only RM380 and now probably <RM300! The USB modem will be more ~RM500++

So all in u need a small investment of <RM300 for the modem & subscribe for the RM68/mth package ..1st mth is an advance & so u only start paying RM68 nett after the 2nd mth.

(I heard Celcom is giving out promotion of cheap USB modem now..sign up for certian mth & the modem is free) Let me check which thread......

da free promotion is 4 corporate package which is u've to sign a contract 4 2 years wtout any doubt....n eligible 4 those in corporate line ie: school teacher, govt staf, sdn bhd co..(white collar sector).....n da modem u've 2 pay in advance 4 da modem.....package bundle wit d98......

with 5GB of limitation. daily usage around 178++MB???

Where u heard of the 5GB limitation...As far as I know there is no limit-leh..

So...there is no need to buy from them(Celcom)...PM me on how to buy the modem from this site....since i want to see how much it is offered from this site....

just this afternoon....I went to their site on
Celcom Products and Services just to find out more about Celcom Broadband and saw that the packages they offer is for those who have either Prepaid or Postpaid....so I'm asking this....IYHO which one should i go for...Prepaid or Postpaid...

2 days ago....I found out that there is a new 3G or 3.5G(HSDPA) coming around....If i'm not mistaken...it is the Novatel Merlin 3G/HSDPA ExpressCard(I forgot what kind of model is that)....i wonder if it is already on sale now....It was mentioned in Myceloteh.Com .
Also it is said that it will used for both Celcom and Maxis Broadband(I'm neither right or wrong on this.I'm just telling what i saw in his blog) and how much will that model costs....

What kind of cheap USB modem is that? what about try keeping me informed on the latest promotion on Celcom Broadband?at least,I know when to go for it when their promotion is still hot....

Is their package is suitable for a student like me since I can't afford expensive ones since I'm still a student myself.

Thanks and hope for swift replies.Apologies if my words are inappropriate on this post.

does that mean that...hmmm.....I've to subscribe first for the daily unlimited service to try and see if there is coverage in my area or the college area....then if I'm satisfied with the service then i apply for the D68...Am I right at this point?

How much u buy that expresscard???How the performance???

I've not bought it yet....just telling and asking if anyone knows of that model from Novatel Wireless....but it is in my planning....if my friends also want it.....then we buy it and subcribe to it....so for now i need an expert who has bought that particular model to share with us his/her reviews on that model and whether it is good and reliable for 3G/HSDPA.

Added on 24/12/07....
So is there anyone who has tried it with any wireless service(Digi,Celcom,Maxis).....it is so quiet in here.....The model from Novatel Wireless is called XU870 ExpressCard...not the u530.....

Merry Xmas to everyone in LYN and a happy and blessed new year....

So have you already registered for it?(juz asking) what is the speed offered in D68....3.6Mbps or 340kbps(correct me if i'm wrong)

well,I'm juz asking only...Merry Christmas to you

im now using plan d120 which is now is oni d98 dad speed capped 3.6mbps....

d68 is offer only 384kbps max speed bro...

Oh really.....There's one in LYN that claims that D68 is 3.6Mbps so i got skeptical about it...So D120 and D98 is HSDPA,right?

anyway,thanks for enlightening about it....

Thanks and Merry Christmas.

who said dad d68 is 3.6mbps aiyoo....

da d98 oni hsdpa.....or we call it 3gx

He3x,Surprised??? That's what it is written in one of the post somewhere...but not in this section....So only D98 is a HSDPA...but what about D120?Isn't it also HSDPA?

Hey...just to ask you...

1.Which package do you think IYHO is just good and fast?

2.How do you find Celcom Broadband after registering for it?

3.Do you use Xpax or Postpaid to sign up for Celcom BB?

and tell me your experiences of using Celcom BB....at least i want to know....coz i'm thinking of subscribing to their service....but still in doubt

anyway thanks and Have a nice day.

Q- So only D98 is a HSDPA...but what about D120
A- previously da package is d120 n now is d98 same features 3.6mbps aka 3gx aka HSDPA

dis is da answer...

Q-Which package do you think IYHO is just good and fast?
A- d98 previously known as D120

Q- How do you find Celcom Broadband after registering for it?
A- to me its very convenience rather than usin streamyx nywhere u can surfin but if u want 2 compared streamyx n BB both got their pro n cons....

Q- Do you use Xpax or Postpaid to sign up for Celcom BB?
A- postpaid only offer dad d68/d98....prepaid is oni upon request BB

im stayin in ipoh...so far da coverage wise is so fruitfull bro

im from kajang and im using celcom b.band also..
so far the 3g coverage quite ok la..sometime i get 3bar.. 4bar
dloading files not bad,highers can get 70kbps..but depend on coverage also.

oh...So D120 is now D98....and Prepaid is only upon request for BB only....thanks for enlightening me on that.

Just to add something .. I subscribe to D68. I notice that I can send sms for free to any mobile phone numbers... So currently I send like hundreds of sms daily ... partly for work and partly for leisure.. So those u like to use sms to communicate with others can give it a try ... Not applicable to those specially charged number like 33222 or anything of that sort ..

I don't not see any lower price in lelong like RM250, can you advice?

R u sure onot? how long hv u subscribe bro?...im scared it will cum double in ur subsequent bills
