i just got my U prepaid to testing at my house and office. Activated yesterday.
Reload RM15 ( with RM5 preloaded ), now is RM20. Then go for RM20 broadband,300MB/month.

Speed at USJ 21, 1.5Mbps
Speed at Desa Sri Puteri ( Desa Petaling ), 11th floor also same average 1.5Mbps
only thing is upload speed slow.

thinking to MNP my hotlink to U. Then go for RM28 package, with 500MB/100min/50 sms for my HTC smartphone....
low usage only just good for FB, little web browsing...at least NO EXTRA CHARGE after exceed 500MB, but still can get lower speed....

not sure about the mifi setting....anyway you can try to put the sim card to your phone first, then key in 1234, go to phone security sim setting to diable it.
then put into mifi, done. No more sim pin require.

Added on April 18, 2011, 9:06 pmthinking of that before also, but consider just for testing purpose, RM20 until finish it, buang.

I tested many bb from past 2 years. I'm not heavy downloader...

digi bb > start launch average 1Mpbs, then many people use, and until 700kbps capped, i terminated.
digi smart plan > good price, my wife using it. But my usage not that much ( 3GB ) on the phone, got streamyx wifi at home, so not suit to me.

maxis bb > i can say maxis coverage is better, but the speed not stable all the time. Before this, their plan no capped speed, but now new package got speed capped....and hotlink internet mobile very expensive...now using hotlink, want to MNP to U....

celcom bb > i got this becoz my house got streamyx, can apply this add on for RM20/ month only. Many people say celcom suck. But my experience is not that bad. This is good for backup of my streamyx down sometime hit by lightning strike. Wider coverage...

YES 4G > using huddle 2 years contract. My house DL 9Mbps, upload 2Mbps average.... office 3Mbps...UP 600kbps. No coverage at all at some place, eg Genting Highland, Cameron etc...This is good for backup also. But must care of usage....

P1 4G > office using it now. RM139/month. Average 4Mbps, UL 500kbps. P1 antenna just installed up to our office.

Unifi > Planning to install this when i move to my new house on Aug. But now there are no coverage yet.

streamyx > actually thinking to cancel this last year, but i can say it good for everything, like sometimes my little daugher want to watch youtube, online cartoon, i no need to think about the usage limit....i'm lucky also my streamyx no problem on the speed for many years....only sometime kena petir, then breakdown for 2-3 days. Need to call TM to launch faulty report, and TM always get back even return call said that the problem solved. Good service. ( maybe not many people agree this, haha )

Added on April 18, 2011, 9:08 pmnot sure why tested 2 places, its about the same speed. Maybe different plan different speed? But their website said U20,U40, U68 is same speed.
U68 no extra charge if exceed FUP. This is thier lastest plan and price. Not like before, U20 got speed capped 384k etc...

first, you may try to get a starter pack @ RM8 like me. Suggest you buy direct from U service center, because prepaid sim need to register and activate also.
I bought from 7-11, then have go to Berjaya Times Square to activate, so it just me drive 2 places. Wasting time.

Another method buy online from www.u.com.my
They will send to you.
Last week i went to BTS, the guy said if buy online, no need to go there register again.
I have tested key in and buy online, but failed to choose number...


The new sim card already preloaded RM5. Then reload RM5 minimum from M2U, you can try U10/30 days/100MB broadband. Or RM6/day/500MB.
Remember there is quota . So don't top up too much, if not, after quota it will charge RM0.05/MB.

If the speed ok for you, then just reload to get the package which is suit to you.
U68/5GB is recommended, because no extra charge after exceed quota.

thinking to MNP my hotlink to RM28 also.
Now using hotlink, then use 2 weeks mobile internet/ RM18/100MB for my HTC Desire HD.
I only use it for some FB, internet browsing. Android market apps. 100MB still ok.

That day i top up RM100, thinking no need to top up so many time next 2-3 months. But forgot to turn off "Data mobile" in my phone, give my daughter play game, she go to youtube watch video. My credit start burning in 5 mins after 100MB....it my fault also....

So U RM28 with free voice call & sms, no extra charge after exceed, it's very good plan. So every month only top up RM30.
Going to MNP this weekend....

so your postpaid bb need to add 6% tax or not?

yes you can put into modem. 300MB/month. After exceed will cap your speed. No extra charge.
I think this is just good for lite internet usage smart phone user ( like me ).

300MB for computer internet browsing is too little. Better go for RM40/2GB or RM68/5GB broadband.

yes you are right, sorry.

MNP my hotlink to U mobile yesterday at BTS. This morning around 11am already successful. RM5 credit for this new sim card ( just like we buy new sim card ). Not bad.
Some more i can get 30MB data and 30 min talk time to other U Mobile subscribers FREE. ( i thought already over their promo period )

Top-up RM30, then subscribed RM28 internet unlimited package, 500MB/100min/30sms.

RM4.50 bonus added to credit after RM30 top-up.

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.

I said failed - not able to connect internet at all if on celcom network roaming.
after trying and try, finally i know the reason.
if we want to use it, we must create APN profile for celcom and manually select. it will able to connect EDGE.
Well, try to open FB, it's open like dial-up speed....
At least the answer now is , able to connect when network roaming under celcom @ EDGE.

yes, i'm using Android phone.
Me also no idea how to check quota balance.

Added on April 27, 2011, 11:10 ammaybe all new prepaid now is 3G only.

celcom APN : celcom3g

i'm using this package now also. so far so good.
only cannot track is the internet usage, not like broadband U10/20/40/68, can check quota balance.
maybe when it come to last day of my expiry date, i use it for youtube, see how is the speed. If 10-20 mins of youtube, it should finish quota as i estimate my usage only 10MB/day for FB, little broswing for android market and updates

yes, *118*3*2#

Any1 experience not receive online banking code, eg maybank2u TAC?
Since i MNP to U mobile from Hotlink, not able to received anymore. Checked with them, they ( U ) said normally take 7 days. Now already 1 week ( 8 days Mon-Tue ). They count on working day or what?

Or i have to go to maybank to check. My RHB also not able to receive sms....

Any MNP user got this problem?

not sure what happen to me. Even not able to send out 5 digit phone like some sms contest, eg 36700 ( citibank )
any "special" setting for MNP user?

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.

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.

1 . where is the RM98 come from?
Every RM30 get RM4.50 bonus. Or every RM10 above get 15% bonus. New sim preloaded RM5. First time you top-up RM70, mean you get RM10.50 bonus.
Yesterday top-up another RM70, get another RM10.50 bonus.

RM5+RM70+RM10.50-RM68=RM17.50
Balance RM17.50+RM70+RM10.50=RM98

2. Let say your subscription will only end 10/5/2001, do not need to do another top-up on it. As i said, go to get another new sim, top-up and subscribe another 30 days RM68 broadband. Your first sim will end Aug, right? So maybe next month you already used up SIM 2 quota. Then change back to SIM1 and subscribe to U68 for 30 days again.

don't worry, U don't send any bill to prepaid user...
as i know when you got new sim and top up RM30, you will got bonus RM4.50 and 30MB data and 30mins on net talk time.
If you receive this this sms, your account will deduct from this 30MB first...( 2 youtube video will finish it...)
Then it will starting deduct from your credit.
Not sure why you still can get RM28 with only RM4.50 balance. Maybe i should try next month without top-up first.
