QUOTE(hitch80 @ Apr 9 2016, 09:05 PM) 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.

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 This post has been edited by hitch80: Apr 10 2016, 01:17 AM

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

QUOTE(hitch80 @ Apr 9 2016, 02:24 PM) 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 MaxisGo RM48?

Getting Started

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

QUOTE(kit2 @ Apr 11 2016, 03:57 PM) getting a digi prepaid and test again? 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...

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.
