For me, my personal experience is that if you don't use DiGi's internet package then its okay . DiGi's internet package has been slow for me while U Mobile's internet package can give me at least 1mbps so

p/s: but of course this is dependent on location, so, what happened to me may not happen to you and vice versa

now I'm thinking of gathering a location -> speed data so that other potential customers can have a look at it and probably use it as a gauge as different areas have different internet speeds

btw, just saying, you can get the U Card for free(had got confirmation from the CS team) if you apply for it at the U Mobile Store(refer to 1st post for the list of locations)

hahaha my area klang..full bar

I just passed by the pyramid store yesterday

can you take a speed test at speedtest.net and take a screenshot and post it here?

I believe that you won't just visit pyramid once

Hi, i am about to mnp to u mobile after my hotlink youth club expires this raya, somehow i kinda confuse with the umobile topup and buy internet system.. So, correct me if i am wrong

if i were to subscribe to umi 28,
1. I can buy any umobile pack or mnp to umobile, no specific sim for each plan, i can change to other plan if i want to increase or decrease free calls.. However no free calls balance will be carry forwaed if change plan.
2. Since i want to use the umi28, i need to topup rm30 at least, this will give me rm30 credit, plus 15% and 90 days of validity..
3. After topup rm30, i can use the credit to buy the umi28 plan using phone. So i left with balance rm2credit and 90 days of validity.

correct? Or is it buy validity and buy plan using two different payments? That is what i confused about..

4. After a month, i need to buy internet again to reactivate the umi28.. If not, i will not able to use the internet.
so basically if i follow the free sms and calls guideline, rm30 should be enough for a month right? No extra cost..
Correct?

1. True
2. What is the plus 15% about?
3. True and somewhat true. After you reloaded RM30 and subscribed for the UMI28 plan, your balance will be deducted by 28. For the validity, it is true for the first time(or after a long while) that if you have no existing validity, otherwise it will just be adding 30 days into it, since you'll reload every 1 month. And no, 'buying' validity and the data plan are under the same thing.
4. Yes

wait what is this U-card thing about?

U Card is a type of B Card(used in Starbucks, Chatime, etc) but for U Mobile users only.

You can collect points by reloading and redeem something out of it.

thanks for clearing things up.

just now i check, my number expires on 5 august, not even raya yet,
digilife do you recommend me mnp before that date or topup until after raya then only contact you for mnp? Hehe.. Are you busy now? What are the things required for mnp from hotlink to umi28?
do pm me..

Haaa this is somethg that may helps me!few days i keep thinking to change to prepaid umobile..thanks!
do i hv to subscribe every month?or once subscribe it ll be forever unless u unsuscribe back.thanks!

It is the latter. You'll be subscribed for it for every month unless that you do not have the enough of amount of credit for your data plan.

fyi, there'll be a notification to remind you to reload in the case that you don't remember when will it expire.

I see! Thanks wcypierre!!
I hope umobile can do postpaid rm35 for exmple with free cl n sms..
bcos the next postpaid plan is too expensive for me as a student sigh..
always overbudget my bill but so far so good the coverage at skudai, jb, shah alam, klang, bangi

Why do you prefer postpaid btw? The billing statement? Call history? More quota(extra 250mb for those who pay via debit card automatically for each of the month) or what not?

Haa i dont even knw about more quota...sigh..too many things i xeven know...
Just because its 1gb...but unfortunately no free call..like 30mins free call ke 60mins pun jadilah...
Now im thinking should i stick with this postpaid or i shud change to prepaid 28..the package of prepaid 28 is kinda convincing for me as a student...only because 500mb..

What is your usage(number of calls, frequency of calls, number of smses, monthly data usage) right now? Let me decipher it and see whether its suitable for you to go for prepaid or not

Hm wcypierre, i dont know the specific amount...
Sms not so much i think..but i prefer sms rather than call..and because already hv 3g, im using wasap LINE n viber apps to msg...sometimes i cl using LINE&viber apps
.but in emergency cases,still i need to call using voice call...when i xturn on my 3g because of low batt..call mum n dad,urgent calls,and when the apps is not work well always drop call....
I only use umobile for around 4months. 1st month i inserted the sim in my nexus 7 thus the bill is rm28. Next month i switched it to my iphone, the bill around rm50, then 50 and latest is rm44(not pay it yet).for last 2months umobile charged me for rm3 because of bill statement which is i said ixwant the bill are post to my house.but still they post it.i did cl the customer service, she said on july bill there is no need to pay rm3.
So, now im thinking, i need free calls too..im still thinking to sacrifice the postpaid n get the prepaid..but i want to stick my current number because im using this num since 2004
Hm..thank you so much..need frens to gv opinion..btw while im at home, i hv unifi..
Thanks wcypierre.nice to have u around,
