is that normal u mobile line roam sometimes?

even share infra, y does it need to roam? it is really pek cek when it's roam and you want to make call

Anyone living in Penang Paya Terubong or Farlim area using umobile plan?
I am kinda thinking to switch from Digi to Umobile as the cost for just 1gb data plan is too costly.

I checked the coverage Farlim is under coverage but Paya Terubong area is not.
But checked through a few threads, knowing that now umobile is roaming their 2g network under maxis infrastructure, so how is it now? Last time when I tried the speed is like, not moving at all, few years ago.

Anyone can share some insights if you are living in these two areas and using umobile?

Any unlimited broadband available? Im using M128 which the quota is 20GB. Still not enough for whole family usage.

paya terubong is just beside my area farlim,

i am using umobile3G and one of my friend is using u mobile postpaid U28 plan ,. most of the time is roaming to Maxis 2G/3G, once a while if near the window will able to catch Umobile3G signal 1~2 bar, ,.. and if you are located near the macdonald caltex, then u will be able to connect to Umobile3G own tower instead of roaming, 

Thanks for the info!
Going to change to umobile soon...
Thinking of buying a simpack to try it out first.

I am currently on Digi postpaid, do you know the time needed to convert me from Digi to umobile?
Because almost near the month end, if the conversation took more than a week, do I get charged from Digi for next month 3g plan?

MNP only takes 12~18hrs if you submit the correct info. Chk out my MNP thread

postpaid voice plan should be charged PRO rated while termination or ported out

usually once u get the Umobile sim card, it takes 1-3 days normally, better confirm the outstanding is cleared @ digi side, no supp line attached, no contract, no blacklist

Thanks for the info guys.
Just got the prepaid plan signed up.
It takes a few minutes in 7-11.
RM8 for the simpack then RM5 inside, use it for the daily plan and do the test.
So far the results is, in paya terubong area, i am certain to receive edge only network.
Then in farlim area, I got 3g and hsdpa signal, the speed is amazing.
A lot faster than digi hsdpa, my phone can only support 7.2mbps so in umobile i got max around 2.7mbps.
I got about 1.5mbps while using Digi network.

Most likely will switch to umobile tomorrow after work.

News portal TheMalaysianInsider reports that Jaffa resigned effective today over differences with major shareholder Tan Sri Vincent Tan, despite increasing the subscriber base.

It claims that Jaffa and Tan had clashed over U Mobile’s future direction despite the dramatic increase in subscription in Malaysia’s crowded telecommunication sector.

There had been reports that the company was planning to go the market to raise funds for its expansion but has not given a timeline for its prospective listing.  Previously Jaffa has said that U Mobile would consider listing once the company has 7 million subscribers or 10% of the market share.

U Mobile Sdn Bhd  today announced that En. Jaffa Sany Bin Md Ariffin has been terminated as the Chief Executive Officer and ceased to be an employee of U Mobile Sdn Bhd on 31 August 2013 due to disciplinary action. Accordingly, he is not authorised to act for and on behalf of the Company in respect of any matter with immediate effect. He was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of U Mobile on 1 June 2012.

Mr. Wong Heang Tuck, the current Chief Operating Officer of U Mobile, will assume the role as Acting Chief Executive Officer until further notice.

U Mobile is 49% owned by Straits Mobile Investments Pte Ltd, a unit of ST Telemedia,  with the balance of shareholding held by U Telemedia Sdn Bhd (37%), Magnum Berhad (6.3%), Glorious Reflection Sdn Bhd (5.3%) and Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan (2.4%).

The continuous momentum of growth in U Mobile is largely due to the bold business and marketing strategies adopted by the Company.  U Mobile’s strong achievement is a testament to the alignment of interests and commitment from all the stakeholders involved including shareholders, management and employees.

U Mobile subscribes to the highest standards of corporate governance.  The Board of Directors of U Mobile is supported by its three sub committees – Executive, Audit and Remuneration to fulfill the mission and objectives of the Company.
