before committing to umobile, try their prepaid first.

1) get starter pack from usual stores, e.g. 7E or svc ctrs or dealers. starter pack rm8 only. Info http://www.u.com.my/new_prepaidplan
2) reload with rm30 voucher. get this reload when u get the starter pack. your total credit will be rm38
3) subscribe UMI28 @ RM28/mth http://www.u.com.my/prepaid/unlimited-mobile-internet-plan . UMI28 is a bundle add-on to your basic prepaid plan and deduct rm28 from your credit.


3 aspects to test: service vs location/coverage vs time

service
try out all the services (voice, sms, mms, internet)

location/coverage
test the connection speed/quality, coverage strength, etc. at your usual places, e.g. home (front, back, upper floor, etc.), workplace, lepak place, hiding place , etc

time
try the services, at your usual locations, during morning, afternoon, evening, night, midnight, early vampire morning


the umi28 package valid for 1 month (30 days), so test all these kaw-kaw within this period. if you're satisfied, port to umobile postpaid plans.

haha pro cuz i started prepaid oso, then only get u28 postpaid last time umobile got so many coverage issue, scared to port-in

probably no traffic or you're the only one hogging the nearby base station

yeah, not their own tower. you're technically pwned the available bandwidth cater for umobile since probably very very few umobile users around your viccinity, you're enjoying decent speed

UMI28 plan is a subscription plan (bundle). you buy/subscribe first, then only get the FREE 1GB data/50mins/30sms.

once this bundle is finish, the PAYU (chargeable) rate will be counted.


treat your prepaid sim = debit card have enough credit inside, then buy the desired plan. without enough credit, you cant buy any UMI plans.

unrelated to umobile. more to recent iOS 7.1 update.

http://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/19/ios-7-...hotspot-issues/

no rollover for data. only voice minutes and sms.

haha paiseh paiseh. just a postpaid user. previously prepaid+umi28 (early days). so knew the answers cuz i asked the same before.

the prepaid topup extends the prepaid validity only. if topup RM50, then 100 days validity.

UMI28 (or any UMIxx) has its own validity of 30-days because it's a subscription package itself. UMI is not a prepaid plan

to simplify, you need a prepaid as the base ... then all VAS will be sitting on top of it, e.g. UMI, MB, Blackberry, etc.


correct, after UMI expires, the package itself will no longer valid. your base prepaid will still be usable until day 100, e.g. free calls, sms, mms, etc.

UMI Auto-Renewal

UMI actually auto-renew itself, provided prepaid credit is enough to (auto)buy another new UMI package. You will get few SMS reminders few days before it expire.


Unsubscribe/Opt-Out UMI Auto-Renewal

Method 1 (manual):
You can opt-out the auto-renewal by "unsubscribing" UMI plan. Unsubscribe doesnt mean terminate the UMI, but it just tell umobile you no longer want to auto-renew after current UMI expire.

Method 2 (auto):
You can also let the auto-renewal to fail (make sure credit is less than UMI price). After 2nd renewal retry, it will stop renewing your UMI and "unsubscribe" you automatically

definitely yes.

as long as the plan has published quota, there will be throttling after exceeding it.

worst-case scenario: 256kbps, 24-hours, non-stop connection.



Best yet, the numbers above were calculated on 85% of the full connection speed

Most likely following the recent Galaxy Note 3's "No Upfront" payment tactic, which only on higher plans, purchase the device via credit card and subscribe to Auto Debit for monthly access fee.

if always >5GB, then get the postpaid internet plan:http://www.u.com.my/phone-deals/broadband-devices

if manage within 5GB, both prepaid and postpaid internet is ok. http://www.u.com.my/u-broadband/prepaid_plans

me too. it's bad congestion, very bad from evening onwards.

walao, very straightforward wan wor
