i have been using Umobile 68 broadband for about 3 months at my in law house in Segambut & quite satisfied.

i've been thinking to change my telephone voice plan from Celcom to Umobile.

but im just worried about the coverage, though i heard they use Celcom 2G network outside of Klang Valley.

anyone can 'testify' on the reliability of umobile voice coverage outside of klang Valley?

The coverage when failover to Celcom is as good as normal 2G coverage, almost everywhere can get the signal. The downpoint now is cant use 3G when inside Celcom2G. Hopefully they implement the EDGE when we roam into celcom2G, at least some data usage haha

do you mean when handover to Celcom ? Then it falls into EDGE, which is about 256k - 512kbps if not mistaken.

anyone knows how to port in to U mobile at kuching, sarawak? I can't find any service centre here..

it seems like Umobile havent penetrate to sabah and sarawak side. even if you port in from service centres in peninsula. You can only use the celcom coverage at sarawak. Just imagine you using celcom with a 018 number tongue.gif

Thanks for your reply. But my main concern is that will I still able to use it on the celcom network(RM20 plan) since the coverage is still very spotty. Thanks!!

data is available in celcom network already but its just EDGE and not 3G ...

so far using U prepaid RM28 package. Something i like to share out.
1. Sim will auto connect to UMOBILE3G network
location USJ 21
average speedtest : DL 1 to 1.3Mbps , UL 0.4Mbps

2. I'm trying to network search, got UMOBILE3G, UMOBILE2G, CELCOM, with others like MY Maxis available
when i try to select UMOBILE2G, it say " your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
So when i select CELCOM, it successful registered. Then i can see the home screen got R at signal bar. ( mean network roaming? )

I try to make a voice call - mins deducted from the credit.
sms - should be no problem.

So the summary is : can use CELCOM to make voice call, sms, internet ( data ) failed. ( edited )

So the last question is, U mobile still not able to allow us to see how many data balance from our monthly quota.
even i try to login web portal : http://www.u.com.my/index.php?q=login&acce...online-selfcare
it only show credit balance, and expiry date, not able to see data usage.
Same as *118#, not able to view data usage.

and, amazing that now using 012 ( MNP from hotlink ), using U sim card, but connected to CELCOM network.
*
means ur sim only support umobile3G. Umobile has 2 types of sim, one is supports umobile3G and 2G while the newer ones just support umobile3G. Both sims allow u to roam into Celcom network once Umobile coverage is null.
