QUOTE(mpenziwe @ Aug 2 2022, 04:05 PM) Same situation here I use perf app but it's better to purchase cheap prepaid sim to test run, give it a week or two before switching the main line over. Is there a way for us to check which network has the best coverage in a certain area? mpenziwe liked this post

I have a Huawei B818 Sim Card Router and a Samsung Galaxy S7 FE Tablet (no sim card slot). I don't need calls or sms messaging; just internet hotspot tethering. I'm not a heavy internet user and only use occasionally for weekends.
What is the best telco plans at the moment which is most appropriate for the above needs? Most appreciate your advice and feed back. Thanks |

Ok guys and gals need help saving my poor a*s.
Looking for the cheapest Prepaid with "ok" 4g that have good coverage in cyberjaya. Phone can't use Esim. I just don't want to pay 30 or more monthly if possible. I don't use a lot of bandwidth montly. Mostly only for whatsapp and stuff when going outside and occasional grabfood/foodpanda or grab ride when I need it. Mostly stay at home using wifi. thank you in advance |
