It happens to me sometimes too, but if u patiently wait for awhile it will auto switch back to 3G.

any conclusion which is the best?

Go for umobile

U mobile prepaid? details is how much? im confused after so many comment here....cause i just need it when im outside...home i can use my hse wifi

well for me i try not to use physical buttons. any moving parts are bound to fail after wear and tear - the most famous is the home button bcoz thats the most used button on ipad/iphone/ipod touch.

i set "double tap on status bar" for USSD, "left to right swipe" for a single home press and "tap and hold status bar" for home button double press. with that, i hardly use the home button unless if i'm in apps that couldnt show the status bar.


dont forget to turn your Data Roaming to ON..




what are you confused about? just post your Q and i'll try explain what i know.

Umobile :
Pro - this is the cheapest prepaid data package i can find. RM28 1 month, 500MB allowance. if exceed, speed capped (but you still can surf.). whole day usage.
Cons - coverage so-so, if not because of celcom, umobile can gulung tikar.

Digi:
Pro - RM38 forgot how much is the allowance, but if exceed, speed capped. Coverage in KL is good.
Cons - Package only valid during Day time. 7am-7pm rite? i lazy to Google. or you can take RM68 package for 3GB and whole day usage. Data Coverage is poor out of KL.

Celcom:
Pro - RM48 (celcom broadband), 1GB data allowance, speed cap if exceed. whole day usage.
Cons - Data Allowance low for the RM you paid. I personally use Unlimited Data for my main line, RM68 for 5GB allowance. (better than Digi in many aspects)

Maxis : is the most expensive and pariah data package and i wont bother write it here. (but some other users like it becoz of the coverage and speed, but caveat is, diff user diff experience.) and i'm saying this although i am a maxis ex-staff.

Tunetalk : i forgot how it is since i tried it a few years back when they first started and they dont have data package then. now i dono and dowan to try.

why ppl is saying umobile is unlimited internet access....and u mention is 500mb allowance? sorry..i'm noob in all this

unlimited internet access means that u can surf as long as u like, nt like sum operator after exceed the QUOTA, u need to topup to continue surfing the net...500MB allowance is the QUOTA, b4 u reach 500 MB, the speed is very very fast but after that u will b throttled and ur speed bcom slower bt still u can surt d net.....

Do we need to turn on Data Roaming? I thought it's only when u traveling oversea?

roaming allows users of operator A to tap onto operator B's network provided they have agreement to allow shared network. In this case, umobile have a contract with celcom to use celcom's network wherever umobile is unable to build their tower. Of course umobile would have to pay to celcom for using their networks... Sorta like rental lah.

Back to your question, if you read the instruction manual that comes with umobile simpack, you'll find one sentence that tells you to switch it on so your device will tap to available celcom's 3g network if umobile doesnt have 3g at that location. For me, so far so good. If i'm going overseas, i only use wifi la... Wat for switch on mobile data?

cool.. so that's how it works.. thx for the tips bro!

I just took maxis..which is rm70 for 3.5gb..

I'm really satisfy with the speed and coverage!!!

Thumbs up!!!

I use maxis prepaid as my home and college got wifi. So i just topup when i need to be away from home and college

Guys, i just got my maxis prepaid data. Been using it for few days, works perfectly until yesterday, my 3G symbol disappeared and my ipad now cant go online, since yesterday night till now, any idea what went wrong? when i try safari, it says could not activate cellular data.

Package sudah habis?

if i use sim card in ipad, can i take out the sim card to use in another phone?
because the ipad's sim card have been cut before

plug it back into the original sim frame, cellophane tape.

or you can buy microsim adapter at most phone shops, LYN garage or mudah. RM15 for 2 i think.

Nope, still active. Problem solved by restarting the ipad.

I do experience it.restart the ipad.
If ur package exceed, u will automatically link to mypadlaunch.

I am using DIGI Unlimited plan

Umobile pakage rm28 is still da best for me
They dont cap my speed after i exceed...dont know why
Speed maintain around 2mbps
