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

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. smile.gif

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. tongue.gif Hence, I have no complaint, no need to spend additional for local SIM. tongue.gif
I can use it happily for my whole 9 days there. laugh.gif

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).

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. thumbup.gif

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

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

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.  rclxub.gif

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

Wah, heavy social media user. laugh.gif

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. biggrin.gif

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.
