Baru guna prepaid bro?

Reload RM30, your line will have RM30 credit and 30 days validity. And 1GB free data.

Let's say you go for UMI 25, your line will now have RM5 credit, still have 30 days validity, and you will get 1GB free data and some free calls (only to U mobile).

After the 30 days you need to reload again. Let's say RM10. Now you will have RM15 credit, and 10 days validity (from the reload). With that you can't buy any UMI, so will not auto-renew.

Basically, your reload becomes credit, and UMI takes from your credit (you don't pay separately for it). Reload also becomes validity.

If don't understand and want something simple, just go U28. 3 GB, 50 minutes call, 100 SMS to U and 200 SMS to other. Hassle free option. But take note that there's surcharges in first bill (RM10 stamp duty, RM3 for paper bill which you should immediately first month cancel, and RM28 deposit).

U Mobile has 3G in Subang. Perhaps your location is a blind spot.

Quick big portion does not have 3G coverage in Subang, not just a blind spot.

As Subang resident I can confirm this is not true.

Of course, USJ resident always want to believe they're Subang, actually they're not. USJ memang got big blind area around USJ18 or so. USJ 2/3 can be spotty, it's better closer to USJ1. Taipan and surroundings quite okay.

Sorry man USJ, jangan tumpang nama Subang =p

Dun be speechless.. I have been using Celcom and tied to 2 years contract, even made complaint to their support and their support just reply they were not able to improve the signal..

Fyi, I signed up Celcom due to widest coverage and also I did a coverage map survey before signing up, the coverage map shows that my hse area with 3G HSPA+ coverage, but what I get is only merely 1 to 2 bars of 3G network and always not able to send out SMS or receive any.. Call always not connected, and dun mention the ability to surf internet..
And I did switch to 2G to make some call and send SMS also getting 1 or 2 bars, it is even worse than 3G network in my area..

Yea, it is really frustrating.. I have been tahan for like 2 years now.. This month is the end of contract, I will definitely go for UMobile since UM is the only operator with full bar H+ and 4G LTE in my house area..  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  Even Maxis signal just so so, DiGi and Celcom not reliable in my area..  sweat.gif
*
That's why should always do coverage test using the operator's prepaid first =) condolences to you, hopefully once switch carrier won't have same problem.

So no point of using the prepaid. Postpaid rm28 but getting 3gb.
*
If your data usage less than 1 GB and calls a lot, prepaid can be worth it. Postpaid is the best, but only if you don't call much more than 50 minute and/or sms much more than 300.

For almost everyone postpaid is better la. But really depends on personal usage. I actually prefer the old prepaid plan (2x validity) which my wife still using. Saves money.

Few months back after signing up for postpaid plan, the customer staff asked me to sign a personal information disclosure form as though you're being forced to sign or not proceed to register.

Can I choose not to sign it? They make it as though it's part of the registration process to force you to give in your personal privacy and sell your personal information details to them.

What if I don't sign? Can't proceed to register a line?

Banks are also playing this trick now asking their customers to sign some form of personal information declaration form when you're busy finalizing your transactions over the counter. They try to slip it in while you're "unattended".

Why? Is this a dirty trick to force Malaysians now to sell their privacy/personal details to corporations and invalidate their rights when trying to sue these companies in courts?

Days after registration some advertizing SMS came in from some company called Sabahbet or something similar to that name.

Can you clarify anyone from uMobile?

Do you even read the form? vmad.gif

Do you even have the time to read the form?

There's a long impatient queue waiting behind and the customer staff like pushing all the forms to you trying to hide it. He would just say sign here and here assuming Malaysians are uneducated fools.

The personal data disclosure agreement "contract" is at least 2 full pages of gibberish texts in fine prints.

Trying to catch Malaysians off handed huh?

Only uMobile Postpaid signup so far among all the telcos made me experience this just like banks.

The other telcos just made me sign the regular  registration forms and just that.
*
This PDA form is (relatively) new measure, please go sign up new line for other telco now.... if they don't make you sign it then they're either breaking the rules or secretly just ticking for you.

If you don't have time to read then just ask. How to talk about 'catch customer off guard' but sendiri simply sign? 2 pages already don't want to read, have you ever bought/sold a house?

Malaysians... we want first world protection but don't want to be inconvenienced at all. You prefer they don't give you the form it seems. Sia-sia government implement data protection/privacy act only.

Could anyone explain how Power Prepaid works? If i were to use Power Prepaid, does that mean I have to topup RM30/month? I'm currently on UMI20 where i will be barred from making calls/sms after 20 days but still able to use data.

I'm looking for a cheapest plan that doesn't bar me to make calls/sms for 30 days with some data (I never finished my 500MB from my UMI20 and now they gave me 1GB extra sweat.gif )
*
Who said UMI20 will be barred after 20 days? What you want is 2x validity, not sure if you can go back to that old plan from power prepaid.

I'm thinking to switch to umobile but I'm having dilemma in choosing U28 postpaid or Power Prepaid + UMI.
This is a table I made to help people like me.
[attachmentid=5592036]
The quota for u28 is very generous but the payperuse rate sucks hard.
*
I think you'll find the pay per use rate is competitive, just not with UmI. And the fact that you get free SMS and free call time means you'll need to hit hundreds of SMS or hundreds of minutes before the higher pay per use rate actually results in higher spend as compared with Umi.

Thing is, I don't use sms that much, so free sms is completely irrelevant to me. For free calls, 50min free calls = RM5 in power prepaid. It's not really that much.
Besides, I'm a student so most of the time I will be in school (Which have slow Internet) and in hostel (unifi 30mb). Therefore, I don't need a lot of data.
The attractive point about power prepaid is, the flexibility, example: I can use the 1gb in power prepaid first before I subscribe for UMI. If at the end of the month I haven't finish the 1gb, I wouldn't need to subscribe to UMI.
So which should I go? Quota or flexibility?
*
Depends on usage. I think nowadays a lot will never even finish 50 mins call.

Power prepaid you MUST spend at least RM30 every 30 days, unless you are okay with some days not being able to call/sms. Compare with U28 spending RM28 every 30/31 days.

For me, if you want to save money you'll go either U28 or the old prepaid plan and UMI20 (I use the former, my wife uses the latter). The only exception would be crazy high amounts of calls/sms which can use up the RM30 credit that you have to put every 30 days to get Power Prepaid working.

Using U28 here. How can you get that free 250MB data from auto debit? Can't find it anywhere on Umobile site, and not in my account page too.. Anyway, I was thinking of getting MB88 broadband plan, do anyone here using it? Will the speed be managed after finish quota or straight cannot use? Thanks in advance.
*
Just sign up for auto debit using a CC?

Although when U28 has 3GB (4GB currently), the additional 250MB feels like no point.... rather pay directly with discount.

going to top up rm100 for power prepaid next week.

anyone know any online dealers offering discount; it's about 3% right?

anyone know if you can get a better deal using the u.com.my web site and using credit card. I think the cimb plat cashback gives good cash back but is u.com.my considered an online transaction to get the cashback?
*
How I do it is go to shopback - https://www.shopback.my/?raf=dgOcBr (this is my personal referral link, you'll get RM5 and give me RM5 if you sign up from here)

From there click to qoo10 (new browser window/tab will open, MUST buy in that browser/tab. Will have instructions for you).

From qoo10 you can buy reload at face value using credit card. I use CIMB Cash Rebate (5% rebate).

Then because buying through shopback, I get another 10% rebate to shopback, which can (once reach RM10 total) be withdrawn to my bank account.

Also qoo10 got their own points system but I don't have enough to use that for anything yet.

For less hassle, look for CnY Garage for example, but that one is by bank transfer not CC. He'll give discount for reloads.
