Why did they decide to discontinue unlimited calls package? Thought i found my perfect package. Hope they will reconsider it.

hope they reconsider or better data deals.

anyway their 15cent for 30cents quite pricey.

Yeah, pricey. Been using Ookyo with unlimited calls for few months. Very economical package.

better switch to yoodo in that case.
using wifi more than data. calls cost rm12 for 2000 min.
hope ookyo will bring back the rm 8 for unlimited data and sms.
*
I dont mind paying more for unlimited calls/sms. As long as the option is there. I make alot of calls therefore very important for me. Too bad ill miss the unlimited data for the 4 apps, haha.

if many port out or cancel the account without paying. they will soon realise the mistake they have done.
definitely will miss the unlimited data access for 4 apps. but i did realise there was a bit battery drain with the VPN system.
2 things they need to change. Remove VPN.
Offer unlimited calls and sms.
For sure will bring more customers.  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

Yeah, the VPN really sucks battery. Previously used to charge my phone once or twice a day but now its 3-4 times a day.

Is RM30 the minimum plan? I thought can just order the sim and only purchase the unlimited call for RM6.
*
Yep, min is rm30.

Normally they will limit the youtube video resolution to 480 (SD).. (Got the answer from google " ookyo youtube"😄)
*
Yep, keeps buffering even on 720p. Also I notice they started placing some restrictions on my unlimited app.

isn't it better off to go for um GX30 without such restrictions/hassle?

I tried GX30 before, really can test my patience. After a miserable month, ported out. Never ever will use umobile again.

Actually you're ignoring the most important (IMO) factor which is the telco network.

Assuming we discard that (which is ridiculous, but since you're taking that premise...), then let's compare the plans you're discussing.

U mobile GX30 is very good value. And capped at 3Mbps. For all usage, whatever app it is. Ookyo is capped only for the unlimited apps specifically, and even for the unlimited apps you can just turn off the VPN if you want full speed for whatever reason.

Your statement about 'average user uses at least 10 apps' is nonsense as well. Not all apps are created equal data consumption wise (e.g. Whatsapp even under heavy chat usage is unlikely to be 'worth' making unlimited unless you're the sort who sends and receives videos and images very often), so just the fact that someone is using an app doesn't indicate that its data consumption is significant. Waze users for example, my regular 30km drive uses about 6MB of data per trip.

Yoodo on the other hand is quite a bit pricier for significant amount of data usage. To start off with, a basic no data plan (for a primary line) MUST cost RM8 a month, since almost no handphone user can live for a month without making a single call or sending a single SMS. Add on RM25 for 5GB data and you're getting quite a bit less than what ookyo offers (at roughly equivalent prices). Add on RM35 for 10GB and you get about what ookyo offers (unlikely you'd use less than 2GB on your 4 unlimited apps) for a pricier fee.

Basically you seem to ignore the 8GB data ookyo offers besides the unlimited apps. Moderate users will find that's all they need (in fact earlier on in the thread we have iphone users who can't use unlimited asking about the plan since RM30 for 8GB is quite a steal).

It's not about superiority, as you say. It's about fitting needs well, and consumer needs go beyond just "I want unlimited everything" and "I want to control my usage".

For now Ookyo fits me very well. I tried GX30 for only 2 weeks before getting rid of it. Couldn't even watch youtube on 480p without buffering. Then i tried Yoodoo which is damn fast but pricey. Ookyo on the other hand gives me unlimited data for 4 apps plus 8gb for others. Thank goodness for ookyo. 😍

Guys, I’m stuck. I have reloaded my Ookyo app with RM150 thinking that I would be able to use those money to purchase the monthly plan but to no avail. I have asked the CS for it and it said that I have to purchase the plan via Maxis Pay and I can’t use my Ookyo wallet to purchase the plan. Is there anyway I can finish all those money? Lmao.
*
Same mistake i made but only RM50. My problem solved when my unlimited calls ended and i forgot to renew it, burning RM50 on calls i made. Solved, haha.

using vpn to enable unlimited is already the flaw i expected, once vpn server down, there goes your unlimited power, and gone with the quota.

Yeahh, 3gb gone just like that coz cant connect to vpn. The app doesn't inform u as well.

Your phone should have an icon showing VPN enabled. If there's any issue that icon will disappear.

Owh, if like this considered connected?
