Tune talk using celcom network right. If yes means coverage will. It be any issue right.

yeap. but U Mobile's 2g network is with celcom as well. so it doesn't makes any difference smile.gif

Tunetalk is expensive. Data, call, sms all separate.
uM prepaid still cheaper coz bundle in 1 amount.
u28 is the best...
*
I think that he's not using the UMI28 plan(probably as a 2nd number), as if otherwise, I believe that U Mobile would be more cost effective than Tunetalk.

Free MNP and special number to instantly reach MNP staff. Live text chat customer service really good.  TT has international roaming and low rates for internet, although low speed GPRS/Edge but ok for occasional messaging on the fly. I don't even finish the 0.88 sen 24 hr 50MB.  0.05 sen per linkup still cheap even if it disconnects a few times.
TT connects easily in some KL CBD areas where U-M no signal or too congested.

U-Mob's reduction of validity and grace period for long time prepaid users seems like they want to dump us anyway.

Topped up TT Rm50 to get ready, got 20 bonus and validity extension. Will do Rm38 for 365 day plan near the end of this new validity.
*
agreeable. the new plan is making the users to use u mobile as their primary number instead of secondary.

Does it work? My primary line is going from U-M to TT. Some managements are thinking immediate cash flow from top ups and subscriptions but might not foresee the total of seasonal unplanned spending I do during the year(s) I keep the prepaid line. It is usually far more than an Rm18 data shot every month.
*
Probably that they have already looked into the stats and figures and realized that it would be better to kill off the lower segment to give way to the more profitable higher segment? Or probably that their allocations of numbers are going to be dry soon(empty) so they need to restructure their plans to make more customers to jump to normal usage instead of idle usage?

Anyway, I'm not sure bout their business strategies given the fact that I don't know bout their actual technical, and financial condition and I'm not an employee of U Mobile laugh.gif

I can only say that U Mobile's connectivity is pretty location dependent, but if you're within the good range then it works pretty well biggrin.gif

tbh, all providers have the problem of the speed of internet connectivity being location dependent, so if it works for your area, then it works.

Is there any way to urge umobile to improve their line coverage at certain location? E.g. midvalley.

Not that I know of unfortunately. You can try via Facebook, Twitter or other social media though. There can be a lot of reasons of why the coverage is bad at midvalley, from technical to financial.
In the end, it's business that we're talking about.

To be honest, many isp's internet services is a hit or miss. It pretty much depends on where you are.

@those who have subscribed to this thread via email, please add the tracking again since the tracking is removed after the admin moved this topic to another subforum. no wonder why am I not getting any emails recently sweat.gif

have used u mobile for more than a year.

fact is... they are cheap. because they are cheap, a lot more people coming onboard... and that's where their problem is...

when i first got onboard, connect at my work place is good. i could easily get 2-3mbps. but a few months after that... download speed started to become bad. at first... it starts at noon... i still see H+ connection but download is almost 0. speedtest.net apps will sometimes fail. then over time... it got bad till early morning already i start to face this... till evening. connection speed recovers again after about 5pm.

so, for me... its not so good anymore. i've actually lodged complains with u mobile, forum and also mcmc. now pending mcmc action.

as for replies for u mobile, the replies are sometimes silly... when they have genuine reply -- they admit its congested in the area but cannot indicate any timeline for upgrade.

so, agree when some users have said that u mobile... dependent on location. if your location got many users... you'll end up with my problem.

at home... i have no issues with u mobile download speed. so far, touch wood, still good.
*
what is the content of your mcmc complaint btw?

basically, my complain is: u mobile network at certain location is congested (bangsar/ dataran maybank area). i am still paying monthly commitment and but not getting what i paid. still got about 6 months to go on my contract but this has been happening for the last 1 year. before that, no issues. and in fact, during the 'non-peak period', my internet connection is fine and fast. its during the 'peak' period like from 8am - 5pm.
*
can't say much bout that since probably the number of users for U Mobile has increased dramatically, I guess.

QUOTE(mydragoon @ Feb 19 2014, 01:42 PM)
to be honest, as i mentioned earlier, they have a good deal. in fact, when i first moved to u mobile, i'm super happy and actually got a few colleagues to jump ship. i guess now regret coz they are 'fighting' with me for the same bandwidth... lolz...

i only wish u mobile can understand and do the right thing -- upgrade. if that's too expensive for them (but i think they need to think long term), they should somehow look at individual cases and deal accordingly. but to date, very standard & generic replies. i still think that where they dun have congestions, they are good. but will i recommend anymore friends and family? no -- coz if their area start to get congested, they may blame me. heck, these days, i do highlight and tell friends about this issue if they wanna port to u mobile. i actually ask them to reconsider -- coz like in my case, pay but can't really enjoy.

and just to share... i usually almost hit my quota and at one time, told myself i dun mind topping up when i hit quota. but sadly... that day never came coz these days... i can't even use my data plan!

again... this thing... only makes u mobile look bad. smile.gif

The people who replies to your message is a customer service rep, they don't have a say in anything apart from explaining to you things or resolve your problem.

They still are actually, not 4g level, but very suitable for daily normal browsing.

What is the reply from MCMC then?

probably that your phone does not support the band that u mobile is using (2600mhz). If you wanted to know then you have to search which variant of S4 that you're using.

probably that you've flashed the wrong baseband, disabling your ability to connect to the 2600mhz band. Anyway, go to the S4 thread for more help icon_rolleyes.gif
