okay. understood. just asking so that I know what to answer when people asks about wanting to mnp in the future

Summary, the reason for your mnp decision is:
1. Cheaper calls(both ways - since UMI offers free calls and even if that is used up, there's still free calls for UM <-> UM)
2. Data plan w/ quota enough for your parents

Digi has a 250mb per month for 1 year plan for RM25. I'm subscribed to it but not sure whether they will re-release it or not next year

The rate is normal like digi best rate. Link: https://new.digi.com.my/ecomm_C/plan_family...d=1403295601270

I've bought it from https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3423922&hl= 250mb is plentiful enough for your parents I think, but whether they will release this plan next year is another question

if I'm not mistaken, if auto subscription fails for the first time, it will try to resubscribe again on the following day. That is if my memory serves me right

Summoning CnY Garage for confirmation

you can always set a reminder to remind you every month though

Another method would be, subscribe the data plan at your phone and ipad at the same day, so when your phone gets the sms reminder, you know you will need to subscribe for the tablet also. kill two birds with one stone

If you need more calls while the previous data allocation are enough for you then the old plan are definitely better

yeah, move to UMI30 would be better.

well, you can get yourself a sim first before going for it, imo, it would be better to keep the umobile line first then only you decide

digi best prepaid

Not particularly sure about their pricing too as I didn't subscribed for their updates

If you don't mind reloading every now and then, and you're not using data for your ipad and whatnot tablets, then why not

just to clear the confusion, iPhone 5 and below either don't support 4g LTE or it doesn't supports the band that umobile uses(2600mhz).

For iPhone 5S, based on this link by lowyat: http://www.lowyat.net/2013/12/we-have-no-a...phone-and-ipad/ , it seems that the iphone that is brought in by Apple doesn't supports band 2600 as well(some other variants do but it seems like it is not the case for the variant that is sold here).

While iPhone 6 has out of the box support for all bands for its 4g spectrum so it is not an issue

Hope that clears the confusion that is going on

read my reply above to understand how did they come up with their point. So, if I am guessing it right, you should be using iPhone 5, backed up with some info based on your threads), so I would say that you still can't use UMobile for 4g LTE as it doesn't supports bands like 700 or 2100mhz that iPhone 5 supports.

Not particularly sure, it doesn't seems so from the coverage map, and I don't data much when I go to kl

I'll leave this to someone who works at kl/pj to tell you the answer

so, reload still same but 6% charged on the services?

for 2g only. If you use 3g or 4g, it uses U Mobile's own network, but if there's no 3g connectivity then it will fallback to Maxis's 2g/3g depending on the connectivity there

Supposedly it will, but I've never been to a place where there's no UMobile 3g signal so can't answer you on that.

30 Ringgit off for Uber rides

can't recall about Genting(wasn't using UMobile at the time I went to Genting), but it works fine at the other states mentioned. There are certain places where it will be dodgy, but the same case lies for any other telco as well.

go and get yourself a prepaid sim, reload 30 and apply for umi30 and see how it goes for yourself

yeah, comparable to the others now
