Unless you need the extra RM800 credits in advance, I'd say HSBC promo is more worth it as although the other one gives you RM400 rebates, you can't use them for Value Packs.

Another method you can maximize your $$$ is to use those CC with cash rebates and extra points like Maybank 2 AMEX. For RM1199, you get RM50 (max per month) cash rebates and x5 points (equivalent to ~RM25). Agree?

Easy payment plan depends on which CC you'll be using. RM100x12 months is possible too. Too bad, my Amex card is not included.

You've got so many cards, I'm pretty sure one of them is included.

Like I said earlier, if you need those extra credits, bundled plan is the way to go. That's the reason I purchased the bundled plan as well but I don't need the Huddle.

not using the auto reload?

Anyway, YES is down in my area - Gelugor, Penang.
Using the backup Maxis connection now.

got, it was just introduced recently. You can use the existing credits to reload value packs or use credit card to top up the credits or reload value packs. We don't have to worry about expired subscriptions or out of credits. That's their new way of making sure they get our money. Currently, promotion until Dec 2011 where you get additional RM5 for each successful reload for the next 3 months.

i guess we need to complain at their FB page. make it big so that they have to compensate us to settle the bad publicity.

it's automated as long as you've set it up. Can't show you the page now as Yes Portal is down as well.

I've posted a problem on their FB discussion page with title "Signal is fluctuating and unable to connect" - https://www.facebook.com/Yes4G?v=app_142874499080353&ref=nf

Complain yours there as well if scenario is different. Otherwise, click on "Me Too" at my post.

it's 3 months to be exact. I totally agree that it should be forever.

As for Value Pack auto renewal, it's possible to use Yes credits that are already in your account. It's just that you need to set up your credit card details first. You should have the option to choose Yes credits in the auto renewal configuration. I've done it.

I don't believe so. but check out this page for more details - http://www.yes.my/v2/say-yes/promo/blaze.do
From what I understand, buying a Huddle or Zoom Turbo Kits where the promotion is valid from 19 August 2011 to 18 November 2011 will entitle you the bonuses.

Added on November 15, 2011, 9:26 pmyou don't want to auto-reload using credit card or you don't want to key in the CC details? if you can do the latter, your CC won't be charged as long as you still have credits in your account.

if you don't want to do both, then what they're offering doesn't satisfy your needs. However, here's what I think why they required us to include our CC details (at least from my point of view):
I wanted to be always connected and I have credits in my account. I didn't keep track of the balance in my account (it can really happens to someone busy or forgetful). One day, I can't seem to access the internet and only to find out that there's not enough credits for auto renewal to take effect. I have the choice of buying extra credits from shops or via Yes online store. However, this defeat the so-called "Auto", right? I strongly believe this is where the CC pre-registration comes into the picture.

If there are a much better way to implement the auto-renewal/auto reload, do suggest it to Yes team. I'm sure they'll listen. Hopefully.

there's a bunch of things you need to check:
- It is recommended to have a reserved IP address for your CCTV in Zoom's config and in your CCTV settings, use static instead of DHCP in case IP address can't be provided by Zoom in time during startup.
- then check if Zoom's config already port forwarding the required ports to your CCTV or you can assign the CCTV IP address as the DMZ IP in Zoom.
- if you're using services such as dyndns.org, make sure you've configured correctly in Zoom's config as well.

That should keep you busy and hopefully get you back on track to view your CCTV remotely.

nothing is 100% safe. i did a lot of online purchases and it will be the trend in the future, i'm sure. Just need to practice caution and check your CC transactions online from time to time.

I thought you've already signed up with CPP card protection? Use it to your advantage, it covers fraud transactions, right?

i don't dare to claim that i'm a sifu.
it's just that i have more chance and time to play with all these stuff.

to try to answer some of the questions asked.
Zoom is like most router in the market, the main function is to route traffic between different networks, just like what a traffic light would do. The big difference is that each of these routers handle its specific WAN connection such as WiMax, 3G, xDSL, etc depending if a modem module is included.

Zoom supports DHCP as well as IP reservations for it's local network.
As for dynamic DNS updates, besides using Zoom, you can use a PC-based updater from the respective dynamic DNS service provider that you've subscribed.
In order to make sure if the dynamic DNS is updating correctly, after configuring the account info and hostname, do a reboot/reconnect of the internet connection. This will get a new public IP address from Yes which should trigger the dynamic DNS update. You can then try to ping your URL or login to dyndns website to see if the new IP has been updated.
Next, I'd recommend you to reboot all devices in your premise again to make sure everything is still working as expected to simulate a restoration after power outage, restarting of Zoom or the CCTV system.


For the CCTV and NAS, Zoom is capable of handling this so you don't need another router.

try to cancel your 30 days trial now. It will reset you to free account. That way, it shouldn't charge you.

i went for package 1 since i foresee i'll be with Yes 4G for at least a year. Long term wise, i'd recommend you to get the same package too.

yup, the rebates can be used that way. And yes, you can use back your existing ID. Just need to let the staff know when you're signing up the package.

One thing to note about renewing VP when you've used up your quota before the expiry date, make sure you reconnect the Yes 4G connection to get a new IP address after you've renewed the VP. If not, your credits/rebates will be deducted instead of the quota in the new VP. After getting a new IP address, it should be back to normal. Well, at least that was based on my recent experience.

Yes Support wasn't helpful as I only got their response weeks after I've solved the problem myself.

yup. disconnect and connect back or restart your modem. Zoom has a reconnect feature, i'm not sure about Huddle.
