Question here:
I'll be moving to the UK and I need to keep my phone number here for banking purposes.
I only need to receive SMS and thats all. No phone calls no internet no sms.
I'm thinking about changing my UMobile plan to prepaid for RM10/month to keep the phone number active so I can receive SMSes. I have spoken to a UMobile store worker and he told me it is not possible as my IDD wont be active if theres only RM10 in the prepaid account.
However I called the UMobile Cust Service and she told me otherwise.
So.... What should I do??

quota hit ?

Guys. I'm in Vietnam and activated UData roam. They send SMS and said Unlimited data usage for rm36 but why once I activated it, it said 10MB only? Can I cancel it and get refund?

Be careful with U Data Roam at the border states.

I was at Johor customs on Umobile 4G when it dropped me.
I was connected to Singtel and even though data roaming is off I received SMS I had activated U Data Roam RM 10.

I called the helpline and they informed me that as long as your phone is LTE and has roaming. Even connecting to Singtel activates the roaming.

They refused to reverse the charge.

They informed me the only way to avoid this is to manually select the Telco from Umobile 4G, Umobile 3G or Maxis; or disable roaming. Meaning at places where 4G is weak it won't auto switch to 3G or Maxis.

So just FYI not good for border states where your Umobile can drop and connect you to  a roaming partner automatically.

Maybe depend on android as I believe is android itself tried to exchange data while data off and iOS didn't facing this issue.
Umobile postpaid seem will auto waive for the first 50k of data as my supp line got charge for RM10 on download 320K while free at another bill of 50k used.

hi, i am going Singapore tomorrow,
i will purchase the unlimited prepaid and RM10 unlimited roaming data/day

should i purchase the unlimited roaming before i go sg?
or i can do it in sg

ohh, i see that
Fair Use Quota (per-day) 500mb
the Fair Use Quota above, you may use your data at a reduced speed which will be managed in accordance with our Fair Usage Policy.

Why?

why you think malaysia telco so bad ?
first world country also have  same problem.

Huh??

Even rural kg in Thailand have much faster speed than us yo 😥

Really mind blowing.. Even in KL, cannot get such speed...

Received SMS that my 2 mobile prepaid lines will be terminated on 18March n 20March. Currently one has credit balance of rm3 and RM63 creditshare, n second one has credit balance of rm17 and rm72 creditshare. Both in passive mode now. Is there anyway to extend validity by using existing balances in passive mode?

How can I  sell these creditshare of RM63+RM72?

How those people in that thread selling creditshare?

If I receive a creditshare of RM1&1day. Can I use the creditshare balance to buy UMI20 addon and the validity will be extended for another 30 days?

You mean addon paid data n voice will work during grace period?

Yes. If you have another postpaid account.
