UM line is too ridiculous... keep switching between EDGE or HSPA
And my mobile network sometimes keep changing between "MY Maxis" and "U Mobile".

Haizzz.. Give me so big quota, can't utilize 50% quota. What for? sweat.gif
*
Wow.. I never get that before. But getting Edge is common especially indoors. Thats why I hope UMobile improves its network reception immediately. Rather than giving out largest quota of data you cant use because there is not network.

Sorry, not only at indoors, sometimes outdoor also like that Edge... But travel certain area (still outdoor), suddenly from HSPA (U Mobile) > no Signal > EDGE (MY Maxis).
Eventually, I got see U Mobile has improved a lot..

But trust me, this network receptions need take few years to improves. There are a lot of procedure to install network tower (need approval from MCMC), registration procedure, set-up procedure.... And total up after 3 or 4 years, the network reception slightly improve already.

At the moment, I on UM because of the excellent Rm10/day roaming data backpack only. If they decide to end this offer June 2017, I will migrate to other telcos.

if i put p98 tether mode, does it able to tether to other devices to run youtube? if at the same time 4 devices run youtube. how would be the speed like? share from the 2mbps?

planning to ditch screamyx for this
*
I strongly suggest you try the network coverage and connection at your area first. However, I wouldnt put my money on tethering 4 devices running simultaneoulys on you tube.

Im usually around KL/PJ areas and honestly, I have never felt the download speed was good. Like mentioned, the only good thing about UMobile is is price. So cant complain much.

Hi, anyone have been use the umobile data backpack? It mention it require to activate the international roaming by paying Rm200 deposit, is it refundable? It charge into bill or have to pay at umobile center?
*
You are required to pay beforehand, meaning pay before roaming is activated.

I used mb128 before changing to u98. Same, no difference between the two of them speedwise.

Its the same network. Why would there be a difference speedwise?

Today my UMI30 also expired and I still got basic internet running.

Didn't charge me a single cent also tongue.gif because my prepaid always left RM 1 or RM 2 laugh.gif

Later go out buy RM 30 reload to buy UMI 30 again. laugh.gif
*
Its because you still have the old prepaid plan running. The latest prepaid plan doesn't have basic internet if im not mistaken? Thats why I didnt change my plan to the new plan. Btw, you can reload online through umobile site. No need to go out and buy Rm30 reload.

I have read that some telco's limit speed on certain plans such as prepaid and postpaid. But not in UM's case. Just answering the poster i quoted above  icon_rolleyes.gif

True to that. But being so, the internet is still slow and sometimes even not working in certain areas. doh.gif

In my area the speed is good. In Sri Damansara and PJ section 16. But the other day i went to cheras over the weekend and the speed was snail slow. Over congested in Cheras i think. I did read that UM will solve the congestion issue sometime by June. Hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later...
*
Speed is one issue. Another issue is there are just too many blind spots where network will stop working. It will still show LTE or 3G but internet just wont load.

for some reasons, sometimes 3G is getting faster speed around 15mbps compared to 4glte signal. i notice switching to H+ 3G is faster....could be less people using 3G... or is it the same since same tower?
*
It would usually be the same tower but like mentioned, its on a different band of network. So you are right, a lot of people could be hogging the LTE signal and hence the 3G could be faster.

You're definitely on the old "New Prepaid Plan". Try switching plans to avoid this. Unlimited Power Plan got unlimited FB Insta Tweeter plus 1gb basic and no PPU. Note that you'll be charged at RM3 for changing plans, all freebies will be forfeited and 10 days active validity upon switching.
Starting from Power Prepaid to Unlimited Power, there's no PPU and there's 2GB free basic for Power Prepaid and 1GB free basic for Unlimited Power
*
Thanks for clarifying. For Unlimited Prepaid, subscriber will lose the free 1GB fast internet from Power prepaid.

Now digi prepaid offers RM38/mth

1000 free call to all network
4GB internet
Unlimited FB access

And the best part it is Prepaid.

I am keen to port from Umobile to this.

Yes, its good. And Digi's network is way way more stable and faster. But no data roaming for Rm10 per day though. sweat.gif

It sucks so bad

I tried doing Uber with it

Horrible experience
Fortunately most of my passengers knew the route.

The last trip I did was foreigner.

I was stressed out as the line become 0

I had to use my own due diligence to find the destination..
*
Yes, sad to say the network is like a hit and miss. It could be ok and suddenly lost connection. If you really rely on it for work, I suggest dont. Until UMobile does something about their network, it best you dont rely too much on it.

I seldom travel overseas.
So it doesn't matter.

It's sickening.
I was using Hero P70 and got sick of it.

That's why I switched back to Prepaid.

Now, I am waiting for the 30 days cooling period and will port out to Digi.
*
Why cant straight port out from P70? Should not be a problem if you are not under contract.
