did you subscribe to UMI this month? It's necessary for the extra 1GB.

Power freebies:

80% of free fast 1GB used up

100% of free slow 2GB remaining

izit?

Yes correct!
No I haven't subscribed to UMI this month
My UMI 30 expired last month in Dec

If I subscribed UMI now, can I get the free 1gb?

yes

It seems like not just Power Prepaid's free 1gb for life is extended, the postpaid's plan offers are being extended till June too.

U Mobile are really setting a good example in terms of value

True, Power Prepaid, U28, P70 are value for money plans from U Mobile.

DiGi's Smartplan 65 is not bad too.
As well as Celcom's First Basic 38.

2015 has been a good year. Hopefully we get to see more from all telco this year

Celcom I can confirm there's an issue around Tabung Haji/PNB area, data usage completely out although with decent signal

oh well, klcc seems like a hotspot for all telcos without data, some even without signal

Its Maxis territory.

I'm on 'New Prepaid' plan.
Should I switch to 'Power' plan?

if you're using it as your main number, you should. Power Prepaid + UMI30 gives you 2.5gb where the old plan only gives you 1.5gb. Not to mention that the call rates for Power Prepaid are a lot more cheaper(can say the cheapest for short to mid length calls). The only thing that you're losing is the 2x validity so if you're using it as your main number then that is not a concern anymore

If using New Prepaid with UMI, then call rate after using any bundled minutes is same as for Power Prepaid. Also New Prepaid gets 30 mins on-net free calls per day vs 15 mins under Power Prepaid. Main advantage of Power is free data and low call rate without needing to commit to UMI, but the 1x validity means there is pressure to spend RM30/month to avoid credit build-up.

Thanks guys.

Not really my main number, only use to subscribe to UMI30 every month.
I guess that extra data will come in handy.
I don't find 2x validity useful since just internet usage and the free calls from UMI.

Gotta wait for UMI finish first right?
Plus pay the RM3 fee?

Correct, and your validity will reset to 10 days from switching date.

well, if you use it to subscribe for UMI30 every month, then consider it backup but use like main anyway, if that's the case, I would recommend you U28 instead compared to Power Prepaid + UMI30.

U28 offers 3gb of data, 50 minutes of free calls + 300sms, and yet it is cheaper than Power Prepaid + UMI30(negligible difference to be honest, 29.68 vs Power Prepaid's 30), but it offers more in return, because it is a postpaid plan.

EDIT: double post

anyway, to add, if you use auto debit, you can get 5% discount and extra 250mb data

Don't think I'm ready for postpaid yet.

regardless, Power Prepaid + UMI30 is still a very good plan

Hello

If my current UMI expire on 31 January, can I still subscribe for the new UMI plan now? Or have to wait until expired?
