Nice info.

Just updated with the webpage now.

not sure can i subscribe before travel then terminate after travel?

Yes, you can. CS staff told me so.

I asked a Digi CS before and he said only the new postpaid plans are able to subscribe Roam Like Home. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Refer the CS to their Roam Like Home webpage FAQ.

Thanks!

Just to be sure if anyone noticed for Roam Like Home.

last december 2017 ravel to indonesia, when u do ookla speedtest, I noticed it used i.e: 'Petaling Jaya' server for
data transfer

and the speed not fast as buying local sim (indosat ooredoo), although roaming using same partner telco

This is how data roaming works, it will always route back to local server not the country you visit.

I was in Indonesia over the New Year this year and speed was good and I can stream my dramas on the train from Surabaya to Yogyakarta without any buffering.

thanks for sharing. I managed to get upto 10Mbps in Surabaya, most of time about 1 - 2Mbps during at Jombang.
But local sim easily >10Mbps. Well starter pack for indonesia local sim much more cheaper.

Roam Like Home good to make your line active especially some emergency require

My Roam Like Home is free with my Digi Infinite 150 and not paying anything additional for it. Hence, I have no complaint, no need to spend additional for local SIM.
I can use it happily for my whole 9 days there.

I managed to get data connection when I was at Mount Bromo and also Ijen Crater (not at the peak, even local SIMs cannot get signal there).

Same with me on i150.
two patner telco can be use Indosat & Telkomsel

So far I have used RLH in a few countries and all with pleasant experience. I hope it extends (free) after this year.

Totally agreed plus its a cheapest mobile internet with unlimited call / data which I'm waiting for long time because my home no tiang telefon.

This is the best plan if u r going to China. No need to use VPN to open FB, Whatsapp, Instagram. No problem also if tethering, all user can access those apps.If rely on their wifi or sim, vpn is a must and sometimes not really smooth connection.

Yes, that's right. Love it in China.

Only for certain Postpaid plans. Else, it's RM 30 per month.

can we add on internet quota if we finish the 5gb?

Yes, RM 30.

No. Have to wait till next cycle to refresh.

ohh, then i still have to opt for roaming pass rather than this plan.

thanks for the information!

5GB not enough for you?

It's enough for me, for vacation propose. Even in Malaysia, I cannot finish 5GB data despite having 20GB data.

i swipe swipe swipe fb and ig can simply reach 1.5gb per day.

need to top up 2times during my stay in singapore for 5days last month. same thing happened when i visited china last year too.

total usage is 2gb+2gb+2gb.

i feel that roaming internet used up quote faster, perhaps we need to re-route back to malaysia first?

Wah, heavy social media user.

Anyway, when I was in Indonesia, I still had 2.5GB left before I left, hence I downloaded a few series and watched on plane.

i've been living with this 5gb for the past 9 months in china. they do indeed re-route back to malaysia. speed is noticeably slower in china; however, in hk, speed is the same as in malaysia.

i will be in medan for 3 days.. which one is better .. RLH or get local card .. Mostly on FB , Whatsapp and internet .. Call maybe few minutes .

Thanks

If you already have RLH subscribed then use RLH, else you can buy local SIM. Should be easily found and earlier comment says it's cheaper.

I'm happy with my RLH though.

Updated 1st post to reflect the rise in monthly fee (RM35) and the addition of the 60 minutes of IDD calls.

What is IDD call? International call back to Malaysia number?

IDD call means international call. In this context Digi is giving 60 minutes of international calls to those mentioned countries even when you are in Malaysia and not roaming. Call back to Malaysia when roaming was already included in the original Roam Like Home.
