Ya each provider uses different base towers.. however I think all have trial period for u to return in case ur signal not good except for u broadband..

that's what i did

tried digi, maxis/hotlink, p1 wimax, and umobile.

finally decided umobile has the best consistent performance (at my home and office).

will nvr try celcom until they give a better speed at an affordable price.

Hi,

Where is your area?

I'm planning to get U mobile sim and see if I can 3g signal in my room or not. (I can't get it with maxis.)


Really? Hmm. Thanks for the input.

BTW, anyone so happen to be in Wangsa Maju (Taman Desa Setapak or the similar) and using U Mobile?

I unlocked MaxisBB Huawei Modem, slot in the RM8 U-mobile simcard, tried to see the coverage in my area. 98% HSPDA.

Maxis gave me GPRS or HSPDA 0%. Damnit!

I'mma changing telcos!

hi guys, just subscribed umobile prepaid U68 for the 2nd time. problem is, my speed is still stuck at 400-500 kbps (the speed when they cap the line). How to get uncapped speed back? thanks

are u sure ur speed is in between 400-500kbps?bcoz the capped speed is around 40-50kbps or 0.38kBps. last time i've got same problem as u. u can call customer service to uncapped ur speed back.

@Jay1985, call umobile customer service to investigate and fix the problem (if any)

hi cybpsych...

May i ask u how do we reset the digi dashboard to use the Digi modem (Huawei E230) to access Umobile?? coz i read yr response on pg 13 as follows:

if your current dashboard is setup to DiGi, using umobile wont work at all (cant authenticate).

what most ppl do is to create different profile for different providers. Reason? see table above.

To be more specific, can i use the existing Digi dashboard to create a new profile for Umobile, or do i need to install a new software (ie mobile partner) to create a new profile for Umobile..

Tqvm for yr reply..

try the digi dashboard with a new profile for umobile broadband. it should work (i've tested it before).

since i hate the digi branding , i use a generic mobile partner dashboard instead with all profiles (digi, maxis, umobile)

TQ cybpsych for yr quick response!!

Will try it once i manage to get a umobile prepaid package..!! Cheers!!

It should work provided if you unlock the 3g modem, regardless of dashboard. CMIIW.

Good to know that, eXPeri3nc3!! don't wish to get another modem if possible..

Cos if you trackback a few posts I posted saying using umobile sim on maxis3g modem lol. So yeah.

You bought your modem separately is it? Oh digiBB ahahahah

any signed up or use this plan now?

care to elaborate pls

thx

Eh guys, say if I buy my own modem, and I have the Umobile SIM now.

Can I pay RM68 to topup to the sim for the broadband and use straight?

Or still need to pay the activation fee?

the RM100 will be rebated to u via 5 months bill.. so actually ur not paying any activation fee

same method as Maxis "free" modem too.

UB40 - RM100 activation fee + RM68 up front payment - Monthly rebate RM20 for 5 times, free modem, 2GB usage limit, after 2GB PAYU rate
UB68 - RM100 activation fee + RM68 up front payment - Monthly rebate RM20 for 5 times, free modem, FUP(5GB) usage limit, after FUP 384kbps

Both no contract.

No need to pay activation, I assume it is a prepaid? If prepaid, can subscribe via *118#, not too sure or postpaid, give a call to 1318


Yeah.


Does Maxis still run this promo?

Oh, so that's how it works. Thanks.

I see thanks.

Hi,

Yea I bought the prepaid. Gonna return Maxis and buy a 3G modem and topup my prepaid then.

... and I'm not sure which promo you're referring to, but RM100 upfront, 7 days swap back if not satisfactory, no other payment till next month, free modem.
