Can I ask how is U Mobile coverage in Melaka.

Was there few months back for holiday and I could not get any 4G signal and even 3G was very weak and my Waze kept on searching for network.

U Mobile served me well in KV but how is the coverage outside of KV

KV = Klang Valley

Though the unlimited calls was only if you subscribe to the RM50 a month supplement plan and not RM20.

For rm20 supp plan to get unlimited calls is really too good to true.

You can still get 2G or 3G for calls and basic Internet like WhatsApp.

Was in Melaka, Internet coverage was not good, waze kept searching for the network.

But in KL it's quite good but outskirts like say Semenyih, only maxis has 4G according to a friend who just moved in.

He tried Celcom, Digi, U Mobile and Maxis.

Only maxis had 4G

LTE on Klang Valley is quite good, comparable to the Top 3 Telco.

Call quality is BETTER compared to my Digi.

Whenever the other party cannot hear me when I am on Digi, I use my UM and volla, the line is crystal clear. Happens on many occasions.

But once outside of KLANG VALLEY, you may not get LTE, depend on maxis 2g and 3g.

Signal is very BAD on PLUS HIGHWAY

What areas is this.

I was getting about 35 mps this evening, same speed as my Hotlink fast somewhere near zouk.

In face, feel that UM has increased their speed recently.

Previously only could get 15 to 20 mps but last week and this, speed has been past 30 mps.

Honesty, I also found it strange that the speed test for my UM actually increased substantially. At my office, the speed was always around 15 to 20 most but this week, the speed exceed 30 mps.

But honestly, I did not feel that the browsing speed increasing substantially.

But I agree that UM coverage outside of major city centre is not good. Had no 4G coverage on the PLUS Highway and in Melaka.

The first image is FROM UM, exceeded 40 mps, second image from. Maxis, at same location and time.

My office is near to Prince Court medical centre.

Yes, perhaps UM adds some tower nearby since its quite near to Berjaya Times Square which is their main office

I was also previously receiving TS for a number that I bought for my Filipino Maid.

It was tune prepaid. Was wondering how the actual owner can still use online banking if the code came to my HP

The U28 also offers 3gb video streaming from iflix, YouTube, etc for free.

Most value for money in the sub rm30 category
