For the beginning stage, this should be good enough as a wireless internet solution at a fixed location like at home or workplace. To use it as a mobile phone line would be risky if you frequently travel around due to their network coverage.

One possible solution I can see is to roam with Celcom 2G network whenever there is no network coverage from webe. Good for calls/SMS and slow speed data which should still allow messages from WhatsApp etc.

One of the comments on the main news site:



Seems like more are more people are coming up with photos showing that they are on webe network.

Definitely limited coverage in the early stages, it'll be all down to how fast they can expand. Similar to how U Mobile also started with very limited coverage and they had to roam with another telco.

There were rumors saying that the plans we've seen like RM10 for 20GB, RM80 for unlimited and all are for staffs only.

As for customers who got it, maybe it's just their beta testing phase as they had to register for interest before this.

But then again, there shouldn't even be a published plan on a website if it's just for staff. It might be for a limited time or something as well. Can only wait for the official launch and see what they have to offer.

What I meant was would you prepare the webpages if it was a staff-only plan which was never meant to be published out to the public?

At Sunway Pyramid, launch event will take place there?

As reference.

They will be but not so soon as there is still no news about any launch.

Yes it is.

Trial? Have they revealed any plans?

You'll need to check if the phone supports LTE Band 38 or not. If it supports and still no webe signal (502-153) then no coverage at the area you're at for now.

Based on this spec sheet, not supported which is probably why you might not be seeing 502-153 on these two phones.

What number prefix does webe use? 0111?

What I noticed is 502-153 is a 4G only network. What happens when there's no coverage? Does it roam into a partner's network for voice calls and SMS, Celcom maybe?

Nice, plan to give webe a try as a secondary backup internet connection at home in case there's a problem with UniFi etc. Now just need to find a 4G LTE modem that supports Band 38, difficult to find one in Malaysia.

Unverified whether 38 or 40 but it's still TD-LTE nevertheless. If the device supports TD-LTE then it should support band 38 and 40.

True, I think better to get a device that supports TD-LTE band 38 and 40 to be safe.

However, saw a member posted few pages back that showed a ZTE Blade Qlux connected to webe and this device only supports band 40 based on the spec sheet. So perhaps can say that webe will be on band 40 eh?

I'm struggling to find a USB modem that supports TD-LTE to connect to my router so that it can act as a secondary backup internet. Most likely will have to import in.

Not sure, need to wait until they officially launch to know. Seems like they are focusing on mobile phone customers so they might have a phone bundle instead of a modem bundle.

Also, will have to see what modem they are providing (if there's any) because my router won't be compatible with all USB modems.

From your Facebook. Will link it back once I get in front of a computer.

Update: Added a link back.

Does it support band 40? I think it should be 40 considering how the ZTE Blade Qlux only supports 40 and not 38 and yet still can connect to webe.
