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?

Just a short question. Is Umobile coverage okay? Do they roam on Maxis or Celcom network to enhance coverage?

If I want to use Umobile, then best is set my phone to use Umobile when on 3G but just let it roam on Maxis network when on 2G? (I suppose there's a way to achieve that with Android)
How unstable could Umobile be? Trying to get a data plan for my mum but if Umobile will be difficult to troubleshoot or bear with, I'll rather pay more for stable line on Maxis/Celcom.

QUOTE(reoz @ Dec 31 2012, 02:37 AM) If u r always live in the town, u can lock the network to 3G mode. I don't do this because if the 3G signal really bad, my phone will need to use more battery to catch the 3G signal. I just let my phone to pick up the signals automatically. Overall. My phone can always connected to 3G. I am using nokia C7 for umobile prepaid. Sometime my phone can't connect to the internet automatically, need to do manually. Plus I noticed that if making calls when outside is raining, the call's quality will not that clear and sometime will disconnected. But so far, I am very satisfied with umobile. Cheap and good speed. Thanks for the information. I guess that's not good enough for me - prefer stability over speed. |

Hi guys, few questions here about the iValue plan. Is it possible if I want to take the iValue Simple, want to take iPhone 5 but insist on microSIM instead? Find that the plan is very worth it and I am an Android user. Probably will just sell off iPhone 5. Also, will I be eligible to have supplementary line?

Can anyone tell me more about the roaming provided by Maxis for Umobile user? Is it for area where Umobile coverage is nil or I can somehow to force my phone to use Maxis roaming whenever on 2G and Umobile whenever on 3G. Let's say I have an Android phone, ready to be rooted anytime.
