okay, then give me an approximate value of your calls(fees spent on it) and smses(fees spent on it), just an approximate value, no need to be exact

well, providing the community with a better choice is always good, no?

Err.... so if I'm an existing prepaid user, I'll just walk in at anytime to their centre and get one, is it?

Never notice got this card before.

yup. That's what the CS told me. I haven't go and get it yet but it should be of what the CS rep has said though

Thinking of moving over from Maxis Postpaid to U Mobile 28 prepaid. Can I just MNP directly?

Also, how's the coverage and speed of U mobile 3G/HSPA+ in KL, PJ and SJ?

I only hv latest bill..

Data:1192mb
Hahaha...
Thanks!

If you are willing to compromise for your data plan quota, then UMI28 is

RM20 of calls = 20 / 0.20 = 100 minutes(not exactly correct but you'll get the rough idea)

If you plan to:
1. Keep existing plan(if you want to keep your number)
Apply for the Postpaid Voice Plus Talk Plus Addon pack for RM8 for a 80 minutes call to other operators per month
http://www.u.com.my/postpaid-packages/postpaid-add-on-pack

then, for the remaining 20 minutes not covered by the addon pack:
20 * 0.2 = RM4

Total Call Usage: RM 8 + RM 4 = 12

Comparison: 12 vs 20 = ?

2. Change the plan
Apply for UMI28. It has 30 free sms to all operators, 100 free minutes of calls to all operators and 500mb of data quota.

so,

Based on your usage, your usage is 100 minute - 100 minute of the free calls = 0(not exactly 0, but even if so, the prepaid's call rate is cheaper than postpaid so it is still cheaper )

Comparison: Call usage reduced by a lot, but data plan only 500mb

An idea of thought:
Since a direct conversion of plan from postpaid to prepaid is not possible, then what if you mnp it to another telco then mnp it back to umobile?

anyway, Summoning digilife

As a student, I believe that you would want to save as much as money that you can though, so that you can use it elsewhere

Thank you so much wcypierre!
im thinking that prepaid of umobile much cheaper rather than postpaid,but because of 1gb data...im still thinking...sigh
Digilife, what mnp the fastest and easy?i dont want spend so much money.my iphone 4 just need to be exchange and total damages rm700..waaa broke already.need to menabung for future..
I also keep survey other telcos, but because they have limited data, charges if u use, that is why umobile still convincing for me..

I think that you're better off pming him instead

I bought a new prepaid pack just to try out Umobile's line but forgot to ask them to cut into micro Sim size

Can I go for Umobile postpaid 28 and add on RM8/month for extra 80 minutes call?

Which means with only RM36/month, I can get 1GB Data, 80 minutes call, 200sms to all operators?

go back and call them to cut it for you la

Sure. Why not? Yes, what you've said is true

Yeah

Just some simple calculations and you can see how to save RM12/month liao.

Existing Postpaid 28
Pay RM28/month for 1GB Data, 200sms to all operators

Call rate PAYU that is RM0.20/minute, let's say you use 100 minutes, you have to pay RM20.

But if you subscribe to the Talk Plus add-on pack, you only pay RM8/month for 80 minutes!!

What is this man

Btw bro, can advise on the coverage and 3G speed in KL,PJ and SJ?

yeah, I've just explained that in the above post as well

In my experience at KL and SJ(not sure bout PJ, I only pass by there when I go to KL), but the signal is usually 3 or 4 bar and the speed is usually around 1 - 2mbps(sometimes 3mbps, depending on location, and it is based on speedtests done on speedtest.net)...... pretty suitable for normal surfing, whatsapp, fb without much hiccup

This is based on in door test btw, outdoor should be better

Hi

Maybe u can add this useful android app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...e.android&hl=en

under below section

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=61939619

I'm using it from day 1 until now...

Hi, just asking but is the checking of quota for the UMI plan still consumes credit? Can't try it as I'm not using an Android phone for my U Mobile sim

Only call & sms quota checking are free... data is not...
However, u can use 3G traffic app monitor to track...

Just to clarify ya, the RM8 calls to other operators is only calls to other networks (Maxis/Celcom/Digi). Calls to land lines NOT INCLUDED. So if you call back your kampung landline you pay RM0.20 per minute.

Also, obviously, calls to U-mobile not included.

well, okay. It seems that it is still the same, I guess that I'll drop him an email then.

Thanks btw

yup

Currently im also doing some researching whether or not i wanna change from maxis to dis umobile.
And the most important thing for me is stabil coverage in my area of usage like home and work.
From wat i heard frm some ppl u mobile is using maxis line?..and for data they are using own tower?
Wat does this means?

For 2G, yes. For 3g, they are using their own tower.
