But you still have to invest in their device.... isn't it cheaper to use present 3G services in case of emergency? Just get a weekly plan etc and you're set.

Too bad Iphone does not support Wimax at the moment.

I wonder what sort of device  YTL will be offering.

hey guys by the way its 9sen/3MB not 1MB so its 3sen/MB even cheaper than the current cheapest Tune Talk of 5sen/MB

@ totally_skint i was thinking the same thing too BUT all is not as it seems...min monthly spend of rm30 required...

RM30 minimun usage seems contradict with everything else, such as reload that never expired, pay as you use as water and electricity.

What happen if no reach RM30? need to buy again? what happen to reload which never expired?

Buying credit online? How do I go online to buy credit when I have zero credit left?

So if there are 4 people using the Mifi or Zoom, everyone's PC gets a pop-up? What if I disable pop-ups? If I am connected via Wifi, how does the device know how to push a pop-up to my browser? Or will all browsing stop and everyone's browser go to a reminder page? What if I don't have any browser but using a non-browser program to use the internet (like internet radio via winamp)? Or is it an SMS to a phone number? What if I don't have a mobile phone? Doesn't sound right.

Ugh. I can imagine, top up RM10, watch HD Youtube for half an hour, receive reminder to top up. Put another RM10, watch another 30 min HD Youtube, pop-up another reminder to top-up. 

I wonder how they going to sell their Sezmi IP TV, when a 2 hour 30 min HD movie costs more than RM70-RM90+ in bandwidth cost. And that's not yet including the price you pay for the movie itself. Ouch.

maybe YES is good for backup broadband, so when your main internet goes down, u use this

You can still make calls from overseas if your device allows an internet connection to be routed back to Yes Life servers.

Similar to a Skype app or Google Voice.

When people call you you must stay connected to the internet and turn on your device to receive the calls from anywhere.

The conditions here is you must have an ACTIVE net connection for standby.

Not call phones can but most smartphones nowadays allow apps to be installed. You need to install the correct app and settings in your smartphone for this to happen. Everything is IP based in a pure data network.

The smartphone was invented for this very reason.Net surfing on the move such as your iPhone. The battery was designed to withstand long hours of internet connectivity or always-on/connect when required.

The app can be installed with any phone running on various type of OSes such as Android, Apple iOS or Symbian if they have competent software team.

It is true you can't use their devices outside Malaysia but remember that their services is using userid/password to login. You'll just need to login on your app just like any other IM apps and then leave it on the background.It can be just like your Skype, Google and MSN account.

All you need is just a internet connection. Launch the app on your laptop/smartphone, connect to the internet, logon, leave it on at the background and wait for your call.

1 single account will do. There are lots of hotspots and free net access overseas at public places such as airport, malls as such.
If that is the case you just pay for calls using Yes and probably some data charges which exceed 1GB if moderately used. If it's a free hotspot u pay nothing.

Its' still WAY cheaper than mobile roaming.I take that you have not used mobile roaming before. The calls can cost you RM10-20 per minute.
Those who live at country borders will know these situation when they accidentally make calls when connected to partnering countries mobile networks.

No, you can't... at this moment, you need to use their own device coz there's no sim card for YES...

NO. P1 home Plus (1.2Mbps) is RM99 for 20GB. And I normally finish 20GB per month.
By the way, the pricing for Yes 4G is :
first 2.5GB  - 3 sen per MB
2.5GB to 3GB - 2.64 sen per MB
3GB to 4GB  -  2.25 sen per MB
4GB or more will be charged 2.10 sen per MB

So 20GB is 75 + 13.2 + 22.5 +336 = 446.7, about 4.5 times of the price of P1 home plus.

rm30/month commitment ? i cant log in to the website, anyone can paste here? tq

yes how does it work? I have my iphone do I need t buy a new 4G device?

RM30 commitment if you use for voice calls is still way cheaper than DiGi's SmartPlan or DG30
With only 9cents/min, they make a good voice package plan even at RM30.

What say?

Can see the problem there.. If you finish your credit, cannot go online and reload... Just like old dialup...

hey izzt only me or everyone receiving spams mails from them?
they keep send the same launched mail to me more than 6-7 times..

Ramboo, from the website, your figures are correct. However, there is a rebate on the 3MB plan taking it to 2.25 sen/MB -- but, this is still 22.50 RM per GB download. Perhaps YES will be good for very light users. I will keep my Unifi.

The business model is good by going for people who are not "heavy users". However it will totally fail. Because nobody monitor or know how to monitor their internet usage. Of course people will go for those with unlimited usage that use subtle rules to block out heavy users in the fair usage policy. Cause Malaysians only see what's laid out in front of them.

Oh well, we can always wait for the complaints to appear next week. Maybe mcmc can knock some sense into them when the piles of angry mobs start descending.
