Hi guys,I went to Genting today for holiday,however my phone completely have no signal with umobile,yet my sister and my mum have signal(digi,maxis,celcom),so anyone encounter this problem before at Genting?

no coverage lar
no signal = no coverage
need to open a thread to ask for it ???

Not stable imo...

Not stable imo...

yep, the coverage stopped there .

Not stable imo...

wait a minute .. I thought U mobile share Maxis coverage ..

Like XOX use Celcom antenna ..

It should auto switch to maxis le, have u try manual search for network?

Yes,until today also don't have,I mean my whole family have why I don't have?

Is time to change .. Lol

Did you set your phone to allow roaming?

normally umobile when no coverage it will auto switch network to celcom. It will hop over their network. Its not a big issue. Maybe the location you're in is out of the cell tower reach.

I thought roaming is only for overseas?

Applicable for local roaming as well.

I have a u mobile line. When outside umobile coverage, it will roam to maxis line. The 3G signal icon on notification bar will show a 'R' sign as well.

due to u mobile don't have its own 2g coverage
and it borrow maxis 2g line
so when click roaming will use maxis 2g line

so now if that area don't have u mobile 3g coverage, choose roaming will use maxis 3g coverage ?

Finally have coverage after I manual select it over 20 times as keep failing,however the data speed in genting suck big time,seriously the slowest experience I have with umobile on genting

Yes. Melaka no umobile 3G. So is roaming on maxis 3G.

No extra charge or anything right?

No extra charge

how about if that area got both maxis and u mobile 3g coverage ?
example in KL ??

always umobile first. If not available then only roaming.

When u mobile first launched it roams on celcom. Now is maxis?

Yes for west Malaysia. But not sure about east Malaysia as I heard still roam on celcom.

umobile is cheap.
so u cant expect much from it right?

Means if there is an R on the top, it's eligible for local roaming? Was in Klang earlier and cannot detect any signal. But R was on 5 bars. Didn't allow roaming because sked they charge extra. Now I know

Then it will use the umobile connection instead. So that they don't have to pay maxis to use their cell tower and service..

u can check umobile coverage map that umobile din rent Maxis site at genting...

So should propose to Umobile to rent from Maxis at Genting to accommodate more umobile subscribers. Unless they trying to tell you that you go on holiday in Genting. U don't need your data. U should focus on holiday and not your handphone.

o.O, but they also need to pay the maxis for certain money each month mar

So depends on whether they paying monthly for anywhere roam in west malaysia or they pay by per MB used by roamers..

I am u mobile user but never encounter any connection problem in Genting. Went to Genting many times, but my line is alright. Just sharing my experience.

Yup,umobile is one of the fastest telco I had ever use, even after reaching quota, speed never changed, but the speed in genting sucks and 1st day no signal,can't really expect much


Mine no signal 1 day only,after that 3g slow like tortoise

bro u can switch to 2g
there will be drop in speed but call line more stable

Without even switching, the speed is already 2g =.=

do u turn on roaming?

No

i never had problem with my umobile in genting too.

Bro I'm using U mobile too. Go genting still have network, just can't surf 3G. Edge at times only work. So I guess its normal.

u need to turn on to roaming on maxis

nono.. we must upload pic to fb and check in

Facebook / Instagram / Foursquare. Common for us.

Haha, Internet has become a necessity after all the social networking sites become popular. Bring a spare broadband maybe?
