RM28 if im not wrong doesn't include tethering.
if can be done. maybe limited to 500mb only.
atfter that its 5cents/mb
tat im still not very sure... cause RM28 is written mobile internet.
its not a prepaid broadband plan. so usually cnt tethering

theres a feature on the *118# there where u shud be able to say u wanna roam

Good answers there bro.
If thet's the case... Um will be good for those sharing hot spot programs as afteer exceeding 500mb the plan still goes on unlike hotlink the plan deactivates itself after the quota.
As for the question of speed... If u were to go thru the hotspt configuration the speed shud be avg 2to4mb. My fren tested for me at KL centra with his galaxy ace in KL central mcd where got lots of walls and roof packed above! Still 2.5mbps speed. The speed shouldn't be an issue if you're juz on your smart phone. 14.4mbps speeds now I'm quite sure is not available on smartphnes. Htc most also 5mb now.. Cause UM themselves said that to achieve the 14mb speedd
1. U need the. 14mb modem
2. Area another issue.as usual for advertising purposes. They show their highest achevable speed. Maybe the test was done right beside the 3g towers giving it lowest possible data loss resulting in 14.4mb

2mb is achievable! cause i saw it myself on my fren's android. he speed test on UM for me. 2.3 sth sth

of course if u use 7.2mbps modem. U only can get 7.2mbps at most! But... I recommend u... Test the area first!
As for 42mb available for nilai area... Better u check first.
1-u can plug your modem and subscribe for 68plan or 40plan to test out first. If u can achieve 6mb or 7mb with your modem. Most probably tat area can get higher!
2-check on umobile website.
3-use umobile number call 1318 and ask customer services for info
4-check with outlets nearby

Best to try yourself. But 5mb is sufficient for nearly a lot of things:)
Do make sure 3g is available at nilai first

1-speed is how much u would usually get for your line. lets say 14mb is your speed. u will get 14mb for your PAYU 5 cents per mb method.
2-u shud try exceeding 500mb first... and see if they really throttle it! some like digi they do not trottle sometimes.

niceee:) well some people call their gfs... one day 1hour gone alrdy:P wad to say for 1 month

Huawei is cheap.
I sold my digi one to someone last year for rm50bucks! Go garage sales there and find:)
Mine was the 3.6mbps one... Higher end models cost more!
Look around... U might find some cheap 2nd hand ones around

It would cost about rm100-200 or 250 liddat depending on model and speed of modem.
I would recommend huawei e17x. Those are cheap.
U can try look for one at... Lelong.com or mudah.com
Under lelong got ppl sell! Rm1xx or less:) search for enjoys. Enjoys is also available in lowyat garagesales area. Quite a good seller.
Usually celcom ones and digi aren't lock. And u can change the settings to search for umobile:)
Have a look arund. When I got time I try help u out. As at now... A lil busy!

Or u can get from umobile:)
Rm153 plus one month subscription! No contract!!!
Its under prepaid broadband I think.

Added on September 16, 2011, 12:50 pmU can do that but I can say this safely... That phone speeds wun be as accurate as using broadband as phones tend to be laggy and receiption has disturbance... Cause hp the phone line still on.
Example like streamyx... When your phone rings some lines lagg or dc!
But then... Its still a good benchmark b4 u wanna try the actual broadband.
I suggest u find a fren with android phone. My fren's phone tested 3mb-4mb afew times!

And yes if 5mb-7mb is really a good speed!
5mb equivalent to unifi speed 5mb package.
But 5mb on phone... Hahahah
Will sure be under utilized... Unless u plug to laptop and use as modem then its a different story:)

yes u can if im nt wrong... but u need to do the settings on the hp first!
but be safe... if youre gonna use broadband... use broadband package as the RM28 package has a quota!
and thetering is not allowed actually.
u can always try:P

if u wanna try... borrow someone's RM28plan or your own(if youre using it yourself)
do note... 500mb is the quota

Which word?
Quota is it?
Quota means the package or size of data they give u.
If u use more than that... They will either reduce your connection speed or charge u extra. For the case of umobile, they reduce speed. No extra charges

ohhh hahah thetering is...
u use your phone as a modem.
cause u see...
theres a difference between...
1-mobile internet
2-broadband
these 2 are different u know?
mobile internet is only allowed for mobile!
so if u use your mobile internet plan as a broadband
sometimes they will charge the usage as RM0.05 for 1mb

but some people say android no problem... cna make the wifi hotspot and let laptops and other phones connect to use its internet plus not counted as thetering.

its a lil confusing. even for me.
u wan u can try... make sure u have little credit juz incase they suck your credit

http://www.u.com.my/broadband/coverage-locations
as u can see... melaka only has 2g network
3g not available there

3mobile wun spread that fast... usually areas with high population first.
