U Mobile sometimes will face an unknown services disruption, in Klang Valley especially.

Umobile rates are very cheap, but sometimes when people try to call, nothing shows up on my hp screen. Then a few minutes later receive sms saying you have missed call. Happened quite a few times.

I agree with him. I got no call shown in my HP untill get misscall sms.
Happened at midvalley last time.

Other than that, no issue at other area. so i think might be the area issue unsure.gif

Been using Umobile for a year now. It's good. But the thing is sometimes (very rarely) the line will get disrupted for unknown reasons. I wonder why.

based on what i heard...u mobile is sharing the other telco's network...

so sometimes you may get dropped service for a while when you are moving from one area to one area...

personally...i have experienced the 3G signal suddenly disappear....and then reappear again...i suspect is this issue....but to me...since i'm not a person who is always calling long mins or long hours....no impact to me....

but if you need stable connection and also if you travel a lot...i suggest you buy the prepaid simcard...try it out first and see if it's ok for you....then only you go for postpaid plan... smile.gif

good luck!

If I'm not mistaken, U Mobile is using Celcom infra and TuneTalk is using Maxis infra..


correct me if I'm wrong

Same problem here, i switched it from Maxis to U Mobile, not hoping better service, at least on par.
At Genting Highland, no 3G at all, only "E" or "GPRS", very ancient term which i have not seen it for a while.

U mobile need to work very hard already

wanted to try out prepaid soon.

if suitable for my usage, i wanted to change all my digi line to umobile.

i notice the price is relatively cheaper compare to other telco.

for me mostly is klang valley area la.

like last few days i go sekinchan beach site, Digi also no line.

from sitiawan to sekinchan kelapa sawit road also some time no line.

i means if umobile performance also similar, i might as well mnp liao

Ok, let me tell my story with Umobile. Been with them for more than a year, however recently really dissapointed and feel cheated by their so call "free roaming"

I top up rm50 like 2 weeks ago, for this free roaming, limited 50mb per day is a steal for me, as i can use in Singapore daily.

First few days is ok, untill like mid of last week, suddenly my credit been deduct RM30, which means i have exceeded my daily limit till the max. However, UMOBILE DID NOT SEND NOTIFICATION TO ME !!!!

Ok, i admit my fault, trusted their system. But hey, which company do not want to earn more right ?

So i blame myself. Nvm, yesterday thought of a solution, i will download data usage monitoring, got an app called "onava count" set my daily limit to 40mb.

Well today another incident. Niah Mah Hei UMOBILE, i woke up to work, wondering why my phone so quiet, no whatsapp, no email whatever. Shit, my UMOBILE data services is NOT on, i'm sure something went wrong.

Check my credit, left RM4 from previous RM20+. Money gone without my knowledge AGAIN. WTF , i check my app not even 2mb used for today MONDAY

MATAFUKER UMOBILE, give you one last chance, i assume the money deduct because of yesterday usage, and i install my apps late, so nothing to complaint.

But now i got apps monitoring my daily data usage, if this kind of funny thing keep happening, i sure will complaint kao kao.

Lesson learnt,

1) nvr trust umobile, protect your self with a separate app
2) their website FAQ is basically useless
3) you will NOT receive a notification at 80% and 100% utilisation of your FREE roaming quota.
4) you CANNOT check your free roaming usage by dialing *118*6*3*2#.

Anyone who plan to use their FREE roaming regularly, becareful. Take my above experience as a guidence to you all.

Well, some system structure in android can consume data without metered in onavo. Best method to solve this is to root your phone and get data meter that requires root access
