Horrible, terrible, shafted, compromised, dis-enhanced.

Losing 50% of your talk time to load 80% more useless kitteh videos on youtube is the worst thing that can happen with umobile. Shame on U for shafting the entire customer base without conducting a survey on whether this plan will fit everyone's needs, shame on U!

it is not going to suit everyone.

ppl who use up 1gb of data, half their usage is on youtube vids and unnecessary surfing. A high percentage of these users would have kept these activities strictly with WiFi to save battery and have less frustration on loading times.

ppl who use up 80% of their talk time have useful things to do, any love talk or trashtalk is better done with whatsapp with emoticons and picture attachments, and these hardly take up any MB's a month.

here's my take on these changes,

Umobile knows that statistically, on average the talk time gets used up more often than data, and it is expensive to keep giving out more free calls than throwing out free data, since free data is hardly used up by the average consumer.

Why do you think Umobile is confident to throw out 1gb at everyone and take away 50% of talk time?

I will await the new postpaid plans and hopefully they don't continue shafting consumers like this.

Postpaid should award more value to LOYAL customers,

- customers who are willing to sign up with their personal details, name, email and physical address
- customers who are willing to authorise their bank accounts to pay Umobile automatically.
- customers who might get locked into Umobile for a couple of years due to laziness to move elsewhere after setting up everything.

*There's even a deposit fee of one month in advance to get Postpaid running*

The last time someone reason out to me it was cheaper for Umobile to service Prepaid than Postpaid customers, I mean wth?

0 logic in the way their business models work.

If Postpaid gets massive improvements, I am pushing people around me to sign up.

how could a Telco bring down the entire ecosystem without a contingency plan?

no firm dates on service recovery?

this is astounding for the 21st century.

what are we going back to the stone age?

I've never met a Telco that is directionless right now with no notice and no firm date on service back up

just keep watching those FB comments go up and up

I can't seem to crack my head around this discrepancy, could any of the representatives suggest some explanation?

thanks!

how does the system work though?

If I am currently subscribed and paid UMI till 12 June, doesn't that include line validity as well?

Package UMI 18
Price RM18/month
Maximum usage Unlimited
high-speed quota 250MB
additional
data charges NO
validity 30 days

got this info from their website, isn't 'validity' the line validity? I'm confused
