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

It is DigPostpaid 48 More Internet

If I were to add umobile P50 it would be this

5gb internet
50 minutes call + 50 minutes unused minutes
No SMS
Monthly commitment = RM53 (inc GST)


But to me since Umobile has this RM28 plan option, I would choose 28 but my concern is the coverage, the speed, the stability in the areas I mentioned in my first post. And as for Digi all the below RM48 plans has nothing to look for

I am having problem to understand prepaid packages from all providers. Seems nothing is actually cheap. I guess the maxis hotlink also has made some changes to their hotlink prepaid plans

Music streaming for radio both my celcom and maxis currently able to handle that no problem, so having around 6-8gb total sure help

Spotify subscription, are u saying the ones with maxis? - No

I guess I am having hard time deciding between digi and umobile due to these

Digi having extra 1gb
Having extra 50 minutes call
Possibility of having better coverage and speed (which my major factor in comparing these 2 providers)

While umobile
I am so concern about the coverage and the speed quality and the fact that I know in my house, it isn't 1 of the LTE coverage for umobile right now, I have been reading some cust posts on their fb page about not getting calls and stuff
But the difference with the monthly commitment compared to digi is about RM20+ with umobile
having only 1gb less, and 50 minutes less call time (which does not really a major concern to me)


i guess my niece and nephew going to need to assist me on this...they are after all using umobile, but i guess they having no problem in Bangi area
And while my brother is having Digi, so he needs to help too..haha

I might give starter packs from both providers a shot then, i really need to experience both providers myself according to my style of usage

so Digi for both of you...i bet somebody must already have this kind of combo already, while me still celcom and maxis


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

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

Just to share with you guys, right now I am testing Umobile prepaid speed and call function..3g speed for umobile is way better than the Mean Green provider

the problem at 9pm or 10pm right?

My tests last night using 4G modem in Nilai which no LTE coverage for umobile between 8.35pm - 10.30pm

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...

I am replacing my surfmore50, if i consider maxisGO i might as well just stay with surfmore50

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

Earlier today in Bangi where LTE is availablen and just would like to inform last night between 9.45pm - 10pm I did encounter some connectivity issue, however the issue resolved after rebooted my modem

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

So this is the Umobile Prepaid Free Basic Internet

looks horrible BUT

I can stream music from Tune Radio...cool


Next...stream Spotify!
