umobile started out focusing outside of klang valley first I noticed years back during 3g time, Nilai had awesome 3g speed back then, but it seems like they are changing game for LTE

I have to experience this myself obviously

regardless 3G or LTE, it uses the same cell tower. Either it is pre installed with LTE upgradable components/antennas or they will do it once they want that area to go LTE. So speed wise its up to their discreet.. plus they signed coverage handover agreement with Celcom so essentially those out of coverage from Umobile towers will hand over to Celcom network 3G.

Get a prepaid umobile and digi, roam around the areas u mentioned and see for yourself what kind of signal you get then decide.

I will try to start off with Umobile prepaid tomorrow/today. Just noticed umobile has this prepaid U38 which have 2gb internet +150 minutes calls + 30 sms, the unused minutes can carry forward so u might have accumulated call minutes up till 300 minutes!!! Just wow


Comparing that to my maxis surfless/call-less hopeless 50

Guys

I am planning to try out Umobile Prepaid before proceeding with my MNP. I must say after studying about the prepaid packages (I assume my understanding i correct), I am quite impress with the option.

However I just need to understand, if I buy Stater pack that going to cost me RM8.50. Then I want to choose for UMI20, I need to purchase them from Umobile App right? What happen if I just simply pirchase topup RM20 from Lazada? Will that still be UMI20?

Thank you

I am currently with Maxis Surfmore50.  With the latest video from Maxis, it is obvious that Maxis is no longer have any interest for cheap packages enhancement.  So I am opening this topic since I am stucked between Digi 48 and Umobile U28

After long study this is the conclusion I made

Digi 48
100 minutes calls/sms
3gb + 1gb rollover
Monthly commitment - RM50.88 (inc GST)

Umobile U28
50 minutes calls
200 sms
3gb internet
Monthly commitment - RM29.68 (inc GST)

I am not including Celcom Blue at this point since I have another line with Celcom First Basic 38, so that's that.

i am always around within these areas

Kajang
Bangi
Nilai
Putrajaya/Cyberjaya
Sepang/KLIA

Occasionally KL

So guys, help me here - Digi48 or Umobile28

What about 3g/4g Lte

a) Coverage
b) Network stability
c) Speed 3g and 4g LTE

Thank you

Umobile line is not as strong as DIGI.. somehow you only can use UMOBIle as back up line.. if you are not in KL area.. UMobile is useless

not so sure about that yet. there are still some features i found on umobile prepaid that is very interesting, but I am yet to test it...but one thing for sure

call forwarding is NOT available for Celcom Prepaid as well as Maxis Prepaid. But umobile allows it! That is definitely a +1

the end might be umobile prepaid VS umobile postpaid... hmm.gif hmm.gif

i guess for those 2 areas won't have much a problem for both providers...question is

blue RM45 - 50 minutes calls/sms, 2gb (monthly)+2gb (weekend) +2g (carry forward) - comes with 5% rebates for direct debit forever, for now


VS

Digi RM48 - 100 minutes calls/sms, 3gb (monthly) + 1gb (carry forward) - comes with 5% rebates for direct debit for 6 months

Don't bet on this. My experience with U Mobile in Perak was: on normal days I got 3G; during Raya/CNY I got 2G only.

just the package alone then there shouldn't be any contract, unless you are taking the package with device


should be the same for any providers, contract will be applicable only when cust subscribes with device

but be highlighted the carry forward will only applicable if you have balance to be carried for next month, otherwise you will only have 2gb monthly + 2gb weekend (500 mb per weekend)

all the best
