I don't see anything related to the timing though so it should be a mistake from where you heard it from

Anyone ready for Power Prepaid?

free basic internet yo + one........

like what fisherman10 said, the 2am to 10am clause is not indicated there. I believe the * is used to indicate that this promo is only available for a limited period(which is what the text below the table explains)

can you try this https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=75522301 and see if it works for you?

for the porting part, can find https://forum.lowyat.net/user/422576 to help you do porting over the Internet though

I would suggest you to go for Power Prepaid instead and reload 30 to keep your line active and get the 1gb high speed data. You would just spend the 30 ringgit reload on your seldom made calls and sms. Keeping the old plan(and even the new power prepaid plan) and going for UMI20 would give you less savings instead.

Basic Overview
1. Old Plan with UMI20:
Data: 500mb + 64kbps slow speed afterwards
Call: Free 30min, 5cent/30sec to all networks afterwards
SMS: Free 0 SMS. 3 cent to U Mobile, 8 cent to others
Monthly cost: RM20
Reload Amount: min RM20

2. Power Prepaid with RM30 reload for 1gb high speed internet:
Data: 1gb high speed + 64kbps slow speed afterwards
Call: Free 0 minute. 5 cent/30sec to all networks
SMS: Free 0 SMS. 8 cent to all networks
Monthly cost: 0
Reload Amount: min RM30

Balancing the Equation
So comparatively, for the second plan to match with the first one in terms of minutes of calls, we'll charge 30 minutes of calls into it.

2. Power Prepaid with RM30 reload for 1gb high speed internet:
Call: 30 * 0.1 (30 second = 5 cent, 1 minute = 10 cent, 10 cent = 0.1 ringgit) = 3 ringgit

After the addition, it will turn out to be like this:

After balancing the equation
1. Old Plan with UMI20:
Data: 500mb
Call: 30min inclusive
SMS: None
Monthly cost: RM20
Reload Amount: min RM20 (20 because old plan has 2x validity)

2. Power Prepaid with RM30 reload for 1gb high speed internet:
Data: 1gb high speed
Call: 30 min not inclusive (optional depending on the number of minutes that you've called)
SMS: None
Monthly cost: RM 3 (considering that we called for 30 minutes)
Reload Amount: min RM30

So with the extra 17 ringgit by comparing the monthly cost between the two plans (20 - 3), you can choose to put it into use in any area that you like(data, call, sms) while if you use UMI20 and need to make sms or calls more than 30 min then you need to pay more than 20 ringgit per month Not to mention that Power prepaid has more data than UMI20 in the first place (1gb vs 500mb)

Annual Balance leftover
1. Old Plan with UMI20:
Reload RM20: RM 0(you reload 20 guna 20 of course 0 la )
Reload RM30: RM 10 x 12 = RM 120

2. Power Prepaid with RM30 reload for 1gb high speed internet (assuming we used 30 mins for call):
(30 - 3) x 12 = ??? (I'll leave it for you to do the calculation )

28 * 1.06 = 29.68 which is somewhat pretty near to 30 if you round it up I wouldn't say that U28 is a con plan, because what U28 as a postpaid plans provides you more but at the expense of flexibility, while power prepaid provides you the flexibility to adapt depending on your needs to make more savings at the expense of what you get(less data/calls/sms).

If you need 3gb monthly then U28 la , but what if you need 2gb monthly only? or usually 1.5gb sometimes peak at 2gb for certain months(balik kampung or whatsoever?) Power Prepaid + UMI20 + the leftover 10 ringgit for sms could offer more savings for you than U28 (if you kuat sms then confirm U28 win la , but if you don't typically the combination that I've mentioned will bring more savings).

It all lies on your usage.

set to 3g, because 4g not available everywhere, so when you get out of range for 4g, it will fallback to 2g/3g which wastes a lot of battery

This is what U Mobile FB rep replied on Facebook, asked by a forumer on few pages ago.

https://www.facebook.com/umobile/photos/a.2...2%3A%22R9%22%7D

anyone seeing network down around subang area? can't find network at all

a bit late, but no, they don't support fast dormancy.

If you don't use that much of data normally, then the trend is usually first few months will over one, after that typically won't

what is your usage?

How many minutes to other telco?

then your free calls(20min) is enough to cover for that. Calls to fixed line not covered though.

Considering that you use up all your data on 22nd, and if you were still to have high speed internet, you would need: 500 / 30 x 22 = 681mb

What I would suggest would be this:
1. Convert to Power Prepaid
Power Prepaid gives you 1gb of high speed data monthly (which is over the 681mb that is calculated based on your usage in average). So you can use the remaining 30 ringgit to make calls to fixed line and other networks.

If you need more data, you can subscribe UMI20/UMI25/UMI30 to get extra data and calls to other network(not to fixed line though)

Advantages:
More data(extra 500mb compared to UMI20, at least)
More credit to make calls
can maintain the same payment monthly(reload RM30+6%GST)

Disadvantages:
Lower validity period per reload(x1 instead of x2, but if you use it as your primary phone you will need to maintain it every month anyway)

Unfortunately, I think U Mobile has put that into consideration as well. If you look at the fine term from here http://www.u.com.my/prepaid,


So when you convert back, I believe that it should be a controversial issue of whether you would still have the 1gb monthly for life or not since you have already changed plan(old prepaid -> power -> old prepaid again -> power again).

It is okay depending on the circumstances if you plan to subscribe to UMI, but if you think of using the free 1gb only in future then you may have to think twice before doing the above

Since you will be new at Selangor, go to Giant at Klang, get your groceries until you accumulate 50 ringgit and buy a umobile simpack for 2.12 (gst inclusive) instead of the normal price 8.50. After that, reload 10 - 30 ringgit depending on how long you want to test drive umobile's network. That way, you can get to testdrive umobile's network and see whether it fits your bill with minimal charge. If it fits your bill then find CnY Garage to mnp your old number and subscribe p70 since u can get more discounts from him

do you call a lot? if you call within 50 mins, it is better for your to go for U28, more data(500mb more compared to power + UMI30) and cheaper overall (28+6% vs 30/31 + 6%) as shown earlier by forumers in the past few pages.

anyway, its just a suggestion, so it is up to you

Get yourself a umobile prepaid, try it and see how it goes. If it works well for you then mnp your maxis to P70(1gb less data and chargeable sms, but I don't think you can sms till rm188 no? )

I think its because of their recent promotion a lot of people mnp to it so the network gets congested. I applied Celcom First Basic 38 and it was slow but getting a bit better then now bad again (due to their new burung hantu plan )
