Old UMI28 - 1GB, 25 free SMS, 50 minutes free call to all

New UMI25 - 1GB, no free SMS, no free calls to all (only U)

RM3 = 100 SMS or 37.5 SMS to non-U or 30 minutes call to anyone

As long as I make some calls/SMS the old UMI28 is better =(

Of course, U28 is much more tempting now, but if I go there will never be able to go back to Umi28.... CnY Garage is the U28 extra 2GB data all-day? And any idea if Umi will update to match?

If this is true, everyone needs to MNP out and then MNP back in =) any comment CnY Garage? Is the above true?

The new app shows me only have 300+ MB left of high speed data, but using *118# menu shows I only used 0.18GB out of 1GB so far. Confused much?

Please confirm on 1. If its true I straight convert now, the only reason I'm waiting is because still got credit... CnY Garage is this true?

Regarding 2 - yes confirm postpaid entitled.

Really minus prepaid balance? How much balance was transferred?

You can connect to 4G, but do you get 4G speed? Use speedtest.net app and post here =)

I suggest cost-effective way to pay bills online is through CnY Garage.

Paying with him no need to wait for enlightening, I can also tell. You PM him, he'll probably give you his phone number for whatsapp or email or something. You pay to his bank account, he'll do the reload. Got good discount (that amount I won't say la, you go ask him).

You should probably wait till next Thursday and see what new plan they may bring in. I'm waiting for that too.

You will get more data and less free call, how to say if worth it?

I will just say that the 50 minutes free call that you lose is RM5 worth, so you are paying less than RM5 a month (since your use don't exceed 100min) for 3 GB more.

This is probably just his own policy, as he not able to check whether you've settled your bill and not worth his time to do for you, if got problem is your fault but he will have to mafan.

Why not just go directly to U? Or contact CnY Garage, he can do for you while you sit at home.

Wah 1 GB high-speed free for life!

Actually now that I read more about it, may not be that worth it also. Mainly because the 'active period' is RM1 per day. So effectively you still need to pay them RM30 a month (last time RM30 will last 2 months) to keep the account active.

If have to pay RM30 a month may as well I go for U28 and get 3GB.....

Yes, correct.


I'm planning to do that too. But for some low usage people, better to stay on old prepaid (2x validity) and UMI20. Effective spend per month is RM20.

Your deposit will be deducted against your last bill when terminating. You're ignoring SMS. 30 mins calls enough?

Obviously you're speaking for your own usage pattern only =) If everyone use like you then all these telcos no need to come out so many packages.

Citation required, all I saw was old plan can switch to new plan starting 1 Aug.

Why not just buy prepaid to test speed first? If you travel around Malaysia I would not recommend U, better to use Maxis (if mainly town) or Celcom (if got rural).

U is best in Klang Valley and some places (Penang for example), not for general travelling around.

I'd rather go for reload RM30 and buy umi30. 2.5GB per month (plus minus). Although once doing that, why not save a small amount and go U28 before end of August, 3GB per month, more SMS, more calls.

If really die die wanna spend less, then stay on the old prepaid plan and use UMI20. Much less high speed internet but your call/SMS not deactivated 1/3rd of the time, and still got unlimited low speed (good enough for whatsapp).

Your way works well if really no need to call/SMS plus want to always have high speed internet available plus really kiam siap =)

Shopback for 10% is easy, but where to get the 30%? Can't find any info on that

All that analysis and you ignore SMS? And you put U28 as RM30?

For my intended usage (some calls and SMS, not a lot), U28 means I ONLY spend RM28+GST every month. That's it. Power Prepaid means I would spend RM30 every 30 days (not month). So it costs me at least 6% more than U28, indefinitely! For less data, more U to U minutes (as I said, I don't call alot), and don't even start talking about SMS....


If your usage that low, stay on the old Umobile prepaid plan with 2x validity and just use Umi20. Comes out to 20 ringgit spending every 30 days.

Source? Betul ke....

Prepaid reload RM30 costs RM30*1.06 also, so what's the difference? Unless really no more cost on GST starting Oct, but I don't think so...

You really do not get any savings from Power Prepaid compared to U28, no matter what! You may get more of certain things, but you will not save anything.

U28 = RM28 each month (which can be 30 or 31 days, or even 28 days).

Power prepaid = RM30 every 30 days.

In one year, your U28 is 28x12 = RM336, no matter what year.

In one year, power prepaid averages out to RM365. Every four years will be RM366.

Of course, if you start playing games such as using power prepaid for 30 days and then buying UMI on the last day, then you may save. But then the benefits you get are much less than U28 (and you don't get to call/SMS for some time before reloading again). If you want full connectivity all the time, U28 will always be cheapest. Whether its the most suitable depends on usage pattern of course. In particular, if you call a lot and hardly SMS, it will be more worth it as U28 is hard limit 50 minutes call per month, while Power Prepaid you can choose to have less data and much more call value.
