QUOTE(shahrul_sama @ Aug 6 2011, 02:13 PM) just buy the um prepaid and subscribe any um broadband plan.. this is wat i confused on... their prepaid is oso the same with the normal voicecall prepaid izit? not separated like broadband prepaid, voicecall prepaid? if so, does that means, i go buy any 018 (umobile) prepaid and then i just subscribe their broadband plan? |

QUOTE(digilife @ Aug 6 2011, 05:14 PM) i advice you to try out MB40, its a Prepaid Broadband package with a quota of 2GB data. it only cost you to fork out rm8(new starter pack)+rm35= rm43 o ya... i'm interested to try of course with a small sum... as i've asked at UM in BTS, i gotto pay rm100 activation fee (which is actually de usb stick price) but every month will rebate back rm20 to me for 5months) still, i wud have to pay first lor but still... if i bring it home and see see, de line sux... tat's wat i'm worry about... and do your area hav UM3G signal? if you are unsure, you can use the sim to test out the signal first before subscribing to the broadband and your money will be wisely spent. PM me for more info as i can help you to try the service out. de rm8 is a starter pack which is also a voicecall sim rite? only when we subscribe to broadband it is with voicecall+broadband izit? i'm confused about this... as my digi, broadband is broadband... so is celcom, broadband is broadband and voicecall sim is voicecall sim... diff... got2 haf separate sim wan... |

QUOTE(digilife @ Aug 6 2011, 07:20 PM) buy the sim first very well explained... thank you digilife... put the sim in your 3G fon or modem and if u see the signal got UM3G, meaning your area is covered by 3G then only u subscribe to broadband and if there is no Um3G signal, say bye to UM broadband and use the sim to make voice calls simple rite  and if there is Um3G signal, then only u decide wheather u wan to subscribe to Postpaid or Prepaid broadband. for postpaid u can go to BTS for prepaid u can consider this   |

i'm sure he meant use 2simcards and 2accounts... so that when u run out of quota, the another sim will overlap the out of quota sim...

QUOTE(karheng @ Aug 28 2011, 09:11 PM) pls check you phone network setting, select WCDMA prefered/only. this i 'kaotim' d... i got 'umobile3g' in my hp d but when i insert de sim back into my ipad2... it doesnt seems to work! hmm... still showing 'umobile2g'... frustrated ler... Normally all phone set to GSM/WCDMA auto. Sometime my phone also get 2G when i go to 1 place to another place. But, the thing is when no u mobile coverage at all, normally U mobile when auto switch to celcom roaming. So in this case, you phone might not able to auto select network, so you need to change back to GSM/WCDMA auto. |
