Thanks for the reply.

I;ve tried checking at 192.168.1.1 ..it does show the download flux ... but because i also swap sim cards from Maxis into the same modem wif umobile sim card... i guess it will show the cumulative and not precisely that of Umobile.

2. I check the huawei modem requires a 5.3v 650mA charger whereas the Ipad2 10W charger does not seems to have any indication of the output voltage and amperage. are all usb port power input & output standardised?

1 hmmm like tat means have to call liao. i dont see the usage meter anywhere. otherwise can use the mobile short code to check. *118# if not mistaken there is a sub menu there for the usage check.

2. 5.3* 0.65 = 3.445watt so the ipad can give plenty of juice.
normal usb port from pc is 500mA, which means will take about 3-4 hours to fully charge.
if u use the ipad charger, should finish charging in 1500/650 = 2-3 hours.

calculations:
watt = volt x amp
batt mah = mili-amp x hour

wats the current/average speed for mobile bb prepaid RM28 plan for u mobile.?
my area - shah alam.

so far, from my house Desa Petaling to USJ, average is DL 1.5Mbps, UL 0.05Mbps.
When i pass by Puchong, Bukit Jalil, Sungai Besi and do speed test with my phone, all around that speed.
So Shah Alam is city also, should be not much different.

Hi, nice conversation here.

I am a new UMobile U68 Prepaid User. I don't undertand a couple of thing about U68 prepaid. Hope somebody here can clarify it. (Thanks in advance.)

Bought and activate about one month ago with RM70 top up. Now going to expire soon (10/5/2011).
I already got the throttled speed 0.10kbs. Today I already topup another RM70 (30 + 30 + 10) but when I send balance inquiry, it said my expired date still on 10/05/2011). ??.

Everytime I topup (3x) I received this message
" Thank U for topping up. Dial *118# to check your credit bal. UNLIMITED Internet,Facebook,Youtube,free 100mins&30SMS at RM28 per mth.Dial *118# to activate"

When I check balance I receive this:
Content: RM0. Your Balance: UB68 Balance: Unlimited Usage Expiry Date: 08:20 10/05/11

Later I received: " RM0. Anda telah dapat 30 min masa berbual on-net & 30MB data percuma,sila guna sebelum 31/5/11.Dail *118*1*3# utk semak baki Freebie. Terima Kasih"
What is that? What It gonna do with my top up?

Question:
1. Is that situation normal?
2. Can I top up before expiry date? Will the expiry date lapped with earlier top up?
3. Do I need to wait until expiry date then i will get normal speed?
4. Say, I never top up for 3 months, after 3 months can I top up the same sim card.
5. Since I have U68 prepaid, if before expiry I top say RM30 only what will happen? How about I top up RM30 after expiry?
6. What about if I top RM10 today, RM30 tomorro and the next day RM30 which within 3 days the total is RM70, will i still get the U68 unlimited.

Thank you.

is UMOBILE 3G available in Sungai Petani, Kedah?

-- it going to do nothing, just give you 30 minutes on-net call, and 30MB free internet
your balance would still be the RM70? *118*1*2#

1. Unsure your situation was referring to, but it is normal, try give 1318 a call, ask about terminate earlier your UB68, then you buy the package again? However, I believe your UB68 expiry won't be extended from 10/5/2011, instead from the day you buy anew, speed should be reset?

2. of course you can top-up before expiry,

3. should be that way, wait expiry to get normal speed?

4. you have to check expiry date via balance, then plus 100 days (passive mode)

5. you can topup any amount as long as don't lapse the 100 days passive mode, i don't think they will eat your money just like that for UB68 without your notice, you need to subscribe it *118# menu?

Your plan is just a normal prepaid, can make calls, sms, video calls, mms, and there is option to get unlimited broadband package (UB68) with RM68

6. reference to 5., you can topup anytime, I don't know if UB68 is auto-renewal, it wasn't last time, thus, you had to *118# to subscribe it

just simply answer your question,
the sms that you receive every time after reload is just a promo/alert ( i also received )
as i know, every monthly broadband eg your U68, you have to wait 30 days then only reload and re-subscribe again.
So even you top-up now, you are not able to get full speed because it's still within 30 days and not expired yet.
But don't worry, the RM70 top-up still valid for 90 days on credit. ( not check from broadband usage, u should check credit balance )

If you think you are a bit heavy internet user, you may get another prepaid sim to use.
Mean that if SIM 1 quota finished 10 days. Just leave it. Don't top-up.
Top up to SIM 2 and get another 5GB @ RM68.

If you use about RM200 for 15GB, you should consider other internet telco.

Thanks you Mitodna,

I need some time to digest what you said but here a few that obvious to me:

"Your plan is just a normal prepaid, can make calls, sms, video calls, mms, and there is option to get unlimited broadband package (UB68) with RM68"

I don't get it why you said my plan is normal prepaid, I bought starter pack at UMobile Time Square. Told the seller that I want U68 unlimited broadband for laptop. The staff there did everthing : activation, topup up to M70, no problem with that. I think got the right U68 plan but when you said I my one is just normal prepaid it got me worry because I just top RM70 today. Do I still need to activate again?

"... you had to *118# to subscribe it"
I need to subscribe again? I thought I already subcribed.
The subscription doesn't link with sim card number?
Had to "subscribe" everytime we top up? Emm, kinda weird.

I need to call CS tomoro.

No wonder the expire date remain the same. (I read someone post here the expiry date can be "overlapped" if you top up before the expiry: so that is false).

."..you have to wait 30 days then only reload and re-subscribe again" I supposed mean after 30 days expiry. So we can top up after expiry after all? How long exactly after 30 days expiry then we cannot top up to the same SIM card?

Actually just now i am confuse about your statement, that is why i did not comment on it. I guess top up cash into the prepaid is not the issue, but the internet subscribed would only be available for a month, then you have to re-subscribe the internet again.

Also, is there auto renewal for this kind of subscription?

@Juneapril, it is very easy to know whether you are a normal prepaid with u68,

You just pull out the SIM to mobile phone, switch it on, then starts call 1318, if it can, it is voice capable SIM,

You can do quite a lot thing via *118#, I reckon, you can check balance, account type and renew subscription,

I think you most likely on UB68 package on prepaid, maybe the staff used a different way of explaining things, bottom line if it is a prepaid, you can do a lot more things than just broadband,

On and off, have some bonus and perks too
