Anyone know if there is a difference for the pre paid and post paid coverage in Nilai? I am working in Nilai Square near KFC and I need a working data connection for my work and studies. I have been trying the prepaid but the data is patchy and unstable ... just wondering coz thinking of jumping over to P70 .. currently on surfmore 75

No it's not as straightforward as you mention. I believe uMobile is playing games with their subscribers intentionally tricking their subscribers to use the shortcode by force to know their quota balance.

Their USSD *118*2*3# method is buggy and sometimes don't show "off-peak" quota balance only daytime balance quota. Certain months it list your quota in full and sometimes it doesn't.

While at night their USSD service always down for maintenance and inaccessible, so the only way to find out your quota is force you to use the shortcode method which is chargeable.

As for the Android app, I don't use my mobile broadband SIM inside a smartphone and don't intend to in future, my smartphone very hard to remove and install SIM, it is always in my USB modem.

Always pull in and out, my modem SIM holder sure gets loosen and damaged in long run.

That's 1 issue.

Also uMobile Mobile Broadband seems to block many ports and lots of services that you can access.
Their peering with Europe is so bad that many VPNs based in Sweden, Romania and France would fail for timeouts.

Even more angry is that my old PC has its CMOS battery already drained, so I rely on internet to sync my time.
Windows internet time synching uses SNTP port 123 to connect to their servers. You don't believe me try using uMobile and sync your Windows time. It always fail because the port is blocked.

When using TM, Celcom or even DiGi no such problem.If you say its security protection, why other operators can uMobile cannot?

I'm using u28 and noticed that when the speed is throttled, its still running at 1mbps instead of 64kbps. Did they changed their policy?

Wow! And this is throttled speed? Way better than maxis!

Regarding P70:
1) After 7GB, pay per use or throttle down? Throttled speed
2) How to check data balance? From umobile web, sms USAGE to 28118 charged 5cents You can use U Mobile app on android or via *118# under broadband menu.
3) Any discount if subscribe for autobilling, ebilling etc? I'm not sure about this

Thank you.

yup R does mean for internation roaming, but in this case, data roaming R showing umobile ROAMING ON maxis 2g network while u can't get any 3g / 4g of umobile, so just put the DATA ROAMING ON for ur phone to get this EDGE/G working 
for prepaid or postpaid ?

postpaid then might switch with me with great discount 

in this special case
u might need to off 3g and using 2g only in ur building for roaming to Maxis 2g Edge
probably they are upgrading 4g Lte around ur area and hardly use 3g inside building
hehe still able to switch with me with discount 
ok pm u now

Hi guys..

Is umobile 3g/4g coverage stable in getting?

Does U Mobile have any long validity prepaid plan? There's a number I would like to keep but if there are no suitable plans then I'll have to port out to another telco that has a long validity plan.

soon soon when U Mobile gets a hold on 900mhz and 1800mhz      http://www.malaysianwireless.com/2016/02/s...m-umobile-digi/

Probably their network unable to support a sudden spike in users causing congestion during festive seasons.

i want to ask:

i bought a power prepaid for my tablet

if i choose the umi20 addon, will i:
1. still get the monthly 1gb + 2gb monthly data (from the power prepaid)
2. get number validity renewed to 30days

or is it umi20 a different prepaid plan?

ah, err...

so, for data i will get 2gb (basic data) + 1 gb (free for life data) + 1.5 gb (umi20 plan)

and number validity for 20 days?

Umobile has been doing really bad in Ipoh...always no line no data....anyone else facing this problem?

If you really wanna save, take that other telco/line plan and convert it to u28. Two lines always more expensive than one.

And if your usage is 800, be aware that UMI20 is only 500MB. These past few months got extra 1GB, but that's promo only, don't rely on it. I say stick with U28, and if possible convert your main line to U28 to really save money.

Klang valley also not so good, especially indoor

How about inside shopping mall? Maybe the areas you go no issue

Nothing wrong with prepaid, my wife uses the old 2x validity prepaid, spend rm20 a month.

Its the power prepaid that doesn't make sense.
