I think i might be switching to umobile cause i need to use the internet.

Currently i am on Hotlink youth club which is a dam awesome plan.Once i switch over,there is no turning back to hotlink youth club anymore.So i need to make a good decision.

But i have 2 question:
1)I need to maintain my number with a lowest amount of money spend,when i am in oversea next next year(2013). Currently on Hotlink youth club my number can last till 2014 as long as i reload RM 10 a year. Actually i will be using this umobile for 1 year only. After 1 year i will be studying in oversea. Cause once i leave next year to study oversea.I will only come back once a year. so i need to make my sure my number will not be cancel. Is there any suggestion? I dun mind MNP to any other telco, before leaving.

2)Anyone here buy a prepaid number from official umobile website before? how long is the delivery and activation, did it went through smoothly? The reason i would like to buy a number is to test their connection before i MNP my number to u mobile.

edit: i ask about the max day of validity, but after posting i found out is only 300 days.

i bought my UM sim online. took around 3-4 days to arrive because the courier they used was so lousy. but instant activation once you got the sim.

i would suggest you to keep your youth club sim. just buy a new UM sim. i was thinking the same also before switching. but then i wasn't sure if UM can totally replace the sucks service by Hotlink so i decided to purchase a new UM sim. and i'm grateful that i didn't port in my YC sim.  nod.gif

they all have sucks system. so better have a back up sim that you think you can rely on.  icon_rolleyes.gif

okay,i will keep my hyc number and order it online to try out first.

by saying sucks system mind elaborate abit? haha hotlink service okay la. SMS 1 sen only so cheap man. But the dam problem is no cheap mobile internet.

any idea how to handle 2 number? and how do like tell a friend. having 2 number confirm confuse a friend alot.

anyway hows the connection overall? i dun really need a super fast speed,as long as it dun keep dc then okay adi. i only use for socializing. (facebook,whatsapp,viber,etc)

my advise to you, keep the youth club simcard, buy new UM sim card, who knows what will happen next..
i bought the UM at 7-11 because of their mobile internet.

okay thanks for the advise.
so u having 2 number? but i dun really like having 2 number, the reason was because it will be hard to give ur friend both number. and they will have to think and try to dial both number before reaching u. Any suggestion how to handle 2 number? and some more need bring 2 phone right?

if you want to use one number, use your UM num and keep your YC sim. to put a sim card in you wallet isnt a harm anyway. no need to use both if you dont want to.

2G is okay. more than enough for socializing. except when it comes to loading and uploading high res pictures in instagram, for example. if you have a really good 2G connection, should be no prob.

ya la. they still deduct the credit even though i ady subscribe to data plan. all telcos have this prob. i ady kena with celcom, maxis. the latest one is umobile.  doh.gif

But then if i do it this way.All my college friend will not be able to contact me in future. Unless i give them both number, but is so troublesome to give them both number.

argh shit man, im so stuck.

p.s: I'm going college next year. Then going oversea for further study right after college.
