contract between u mobile and celcom already expired very soon

and u mobile renew contract with maxis, and roam under maxis for 2G and 3G  notworthy.gif

that means, if it's out of their own data coverage, they will use maxis's 3G network if it's available right?

ok, i know it might be stupid to ask here, cos all uMobile and i hope u all don't flame me ya..

Currently my digi contract just ended, due to the bad coverage and turtle internet, i wanna change, was looking in maxis or umobile now, just asking, how is the reception quality( call, sms, internet stability ), and what is the average speed for these areas: Bandar Utama, Bandar Sunway, Bukit tinggi klang

if it's gooding, i'll go change tomorrow liao i think

so far, Sunway is very good, even in my lecture hall can get three bars of H+. your building might be different though

Hey guys... I just want to know how does the prepaid broadband works? Do I just buy a prepaid starter pack from 7-11? Because I'm quite skeptical about them giving a free modem for just an rm8 starter pack. Anyone mind explaining to me? Thanks!

i know i can read back, but I'm in the middle of some coding now, maybe i'll read back around tomorrow to get a better idea.

before that I'd like ask a few more specific questions, if you don't mind answering me, cos i think quick read might miss them. How is the reception indoor, say ground floor of a 5-7 floor flat, normally DiGi would have 0 signal at all unless i am near a window or door, maxis as i recall still have, but not sure about internet speed, as my parents doesnt use data.

Other then that, the feedback i heard on uMobile data is that, although the speedtest result might seem high, but only a few popular sites loads as fast, the rest will not be as fast as the speed test result for some reason( most likely bandwidth optimization problem ).

My concern is at least getting stable edge so that i can whatsapp indoor, and as long as my call not like digi, putus putus a bit like that, vomit blood one  doh.gif

Buy a simpack to try see.

Personally I think UM are great with Youtube or whatever video streaming. You get awesome speed test and such but in actual usage like browsing and downloading from Play/Apple Store, I think a bit slower than Maxis. Strange thing is that after 12AM, just like TM, everything speed up and you do get good speed comparable or better than Maxis, depending on your coverage.

This was my experience from about 6-7months back.

If you asked me, I would say sharing tower with UM is what made Maxis somewhat slower these day. Back then, I really hate UM whenever Facebook'ing. Its really slow when you load the pics, sometimes to the tune of Digi speed, and you know whats its like since you are on Digi. Im also considering moving my WORK line to UM RM18 but not quite sure if they have improve on the casual usage speed.

lol, but overall still faster then DiGI right? actually i think DiGi if line is stable is ok, but the thing is, it never is. to say it, I can take DiGi's internet speed most of the time, just not the line stability. as long as line is stable.

btw what happen to ur original account? vacation?

i am not poisoning but just to compare it, thats true with the package we pay less for what we get cool2.gif
you still left 60% of mins and sms meaning you are still losing more money than you should

RM 18 to get 25min and 250mb data, plus 15min call = RM 2.7 so only cost you less than RM 23

UMI 28 = 500mb, -100min cost RM 18, -30sms cost RM 2.4
500mb= RM 7.6
1mb = RM0.0152

UMI 18 = 250mb, -25min cost RM 4.5
250mb = RM 13.5
1mb = RN 0.054

u28 = 1gb, -300sms cost RM 19
1gb = RM 9
1mb = 0.0088

then if some1 using 800 min but 250 sms per month ?
UMI 28 cost RM 28 + RM 16 = RM 44 with 500mb

U28 + add on RM 8 = RM 36
got it ?
