Hello, is there a better/cheaper plan than Umobile UMI 28? I personally like the unlimited (500MB) data.

I'm not planning to sign any postpaid contract at the moment because I already have one.

Which telco offers the cheapest prepaid calls/sms rate with 3G internet besides Digi?

Just tell yourself digi also is cheap in price , internet bandwidth and stability. If I am not wrong speed is 700kbps only max. The cheapest is maxis skmm rm25 monthly can reach up to 2mbps to 7mbps depending on location and phone with good coverage and stability.

Rm25 for 700mb. I using on my ipad 3

Hello,

I'm more concerned regarding coverage and bandwidth. The speed doesn't really matter to me because I don't usually browse the internet with my phone, only whatsapp.

Yes digi has a reputation of bad coverage but has been one of the cheapest by far. So just want to check if there are any bad reviews on umobile UMI 28 prepaid plan? in terms of coverage?

many said in city umobile is excellent but outstation abit bad

lol okay. I guess UMI28 it is then! until the new samsung galaxy comes out then i'll sign a post paid.

Thank you for your info!

I am thinking of getting a line for my son so that he can call me when he has finished his tuition. I am currently using Maxis Surfmore 50. What is the best cost effective plan i should get for this purpose? I won't mind prepaid or post paid - just need to be the cheapest in term of yearly. Thinking of signing up a new Maxis sub-line and paid RM10 every month plus some minimal call charges but i heard there is a DiGi prepaid plan which they charge RM30 per year and the call charges is pay as you use. I can't find that DiGi plan at their web site.

Hi, currently planning to get a Note 2.

Interested to get Digi Smartplan RM38, because now it has promotion of internet @2gb for 24 months after sign up

1) My internet usage is only FB, whatsapp, maybe viber in future; not too often thou. FB only scroll down and sometimes see leng lui pics.. haha
2) Not many calls per month. I assume 60-90 min is max. Often sms, if data plan comes in, watsapp will replace sms alrdy.
3) Heavy usage ie: youtube/playstore i will use wifi at home.

Question:
1) Better getting bundle or buy phone and telco plan seperately? I plan to get seperate at the moment.
2) First time getting into smartphone. Now only using Galaxy Y; prepaid; surfing internet currently is via wifi at home. Is line coverage affecting the internet as well? No line=no internet?
3) old question: charges. Digi page shown rm38 monthly bill. Im confuse whether the plan is for data only, or is inclusive voice call/sms.. too good to be true for me
4) if i choose to buy bundle with phone; the proposed plan is a MESS for me.. especially EPP.
5) I am existing digi prepaid card user, can i maintain my number if i change into postpaid?

Kindly assist.. serious to get it now after N months of waiting..

So I have recently registered for Umobile prepaid, UMI 28

100 mins talk time and 30 sms and 500 MB 3G

Does anyone here who uses the prepaid notice that the network switched automatically to roaming?

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!

When outside coverage it will automatically roam using maxis network. Thats normal. So far as a light user, i'm satisfied. To save usage, i recomment using opera mini for browsing and when on wifi connection i will other browser. Even at my kampung in kedah got umobile coverage.

Recently i'd just saw umobile in kuching, sarawak. Im planning to take the umobile rm28 package. How is the broadband connection of umobile in kuching? Has anyone tried b4?

hi Guys/Gals,

I m comparing between these 2 data plan:
1) digi smart plan 48 + note 2 (total RM2951 = RM123x24months)
2) maxis surfmore 50 + note 2 (total RM2799 = 1599(device) + RM50x24months)

Question 1: is maxis plan comes in monthly installment (data plan + device)? because i see digi plan does that.
Question 2: can maxis set a limit to my data plan quota? because i read, maxis will charge when is over quota.
Question 3: how much is free talk time and free sms on both plan?
Question 4: comparing these 2 plan, which 1 worth while? because i see the offer content is same (both 2GB, both around RM50)
Question 5: if you were given these 2 plan, which 1 you will choose to subscribe?

Thanks for any replies / answers / comments.

A1: Maxis need to pay full amount upright. No installment.
A2: Since 3.12.12, no extra charge by Maxis after reaching quota, only speed throttled.
A3: No free talk time and sms, pay extra for whatever call/sms you use.
A4: Maxis wins hands down because of their superior connection in most area. Of course there is exception, but quite rare.
A5: Maxis definitely. I ditched DiGi after sufferring 2 years of turtle speed, now back to Maxis on blazing fast mobile internet everywhere in Johor Bahru.

Unless you experience/know Maxis has bad speed in your area, it is a no brainer to get Maxis over DiGi.

Hi all,

I am intending to subscribe to a data plan (roughly 1GB) for myself and another light data plan (<500MB) for my mum. I am looking at roughly base RM70-80 per month for both plan excluding additional calls and SMS. Any free minutes between the principal and supplementary line will be wonderful!

I really like Celcom for its best coverage, but it doesn't seem to offer a good supplementary plan for my mum (or I miss that out in the website?).
Maxis seems like a solid choice but it's not my favourite carrier for its disappointing customer service. Anyway, it's still within consideration because they have a lot of plans to choose from.
Digi promotion is good, but it's not within my consideration as their coverage (especially indoor) isn't strong enough.
UMobile has an unbelievable offering and if they roam on Maxis or Celcom with sufficient speed, it seems like the best deal! Only worry is if I need to roam all the while in Seremban (where my mum lives) and the roam is on slow network.
Don't think any other telco will have sufficient coverage in Seremban.

Any suggestion and advice?

Any sifu can help give me simple direct choices?? Im gettin a smartphone and i need a minimal internet connection, (access to whatsapp, picture sending for work, and looking information on the internet,) which i think about 300mb+- per month.
Also my current monthly phone bill is quite light as i barely finish my monthly rm30 minimal digi prepaid top-ups (not connecting to the net).

Can anyone suggest a good plan for me???

And what if i need another supplementary line with light internet access with calls?

Dun mind prepaid or postpaid, just hassle free.
Is maxis value plus 50+30 for the supp line a good idea?

EDIT: im living in kch, so any other than the maxis, celcom digi provider is not a choice. (saw umobile booth in kuching but dun think dey hav good connection here)

hey guys is it possible to convert my celcom postpaid to prepaid. not asking for the 2 in 1 prepaid in the postpaid. want to convert to the xpax prepaid i think that have no monthly dedicated fees. just wanna know if its possible. thanks

Just want to ask, for Maxis Surfmore plan, when using Viber over 3G/HSDPA network, why Maxis still charge me?

Today, I make a very short call for about few second using Viber, why Maxis charged my RM0.05? Why it is not free since I just started my Surfmore plan yesterday.

guys..
is it ok to buy phone by contract with telco??
can explain about the contract..

DiGi prepaid Best plan has the one year validity option for RM30. It is called Super Long Life and details can be found under Reload on their website. Best plan was updated recently and now only charges 06 sen for the first 10 seconds. Also your son could add your Maxis line as a favourite and then he could call you for only 12 sen per minute.

Wanna change from current ivalue1 maxis to a cheaper one. Me and my wife. How?

Internet at least 1gb n more call

So whats the best for the both of us?
