Where do you get the info that Umobile, digi, and maxis are able to use band 20 for LTE?

Digi and MAXIS not sure, but U Mobile and YES are using 4G band 20.

When I put my U Mobile in the oppo or vivo phone without this band in my room ( as I mentioned before ), 4G become H, just 1 bar only and totally cannot online.

After that, I put it in the phone with band 20 in the same place, the line straight away go back to 4G, almost full bar most of the time and can online.

If it is not this problem, can you explain what is the reason?
*
Yes, don't draw to conclusion based on 'experience'. You need to show the screenshot of the your phone connected to the band for what you're claiming.
FYI there isn't much bandwidth to allocate for band 20, at least for Malaysia.

https://www.soyacincau.com/2017/05/24/u-mob...5g-in-malaysia/ - U Mobile is the first to launch 4.5G in Malaysia - By Alexander Wong 10:52 am, 24 May 2017
.
For 4G LTE, UMobile first used only Band 7 = 2600MHz nationwide in the early 2010s, and then gradually added Band 3 = 1800MHz and sporadic Band 1 = 2100MHz from 2017 onward, ie likely gradually in major city areas only.

LTE Band 20 is specific to Europe only.

Well it might not be true. Band 20 is used by YTL Yes too.

ITU Region 1 = Europe and Africa only. If YES has deployed LTE Band 20 commercially, it is breaking international telecommunication agreements.

It’s not hypothetical, it is running band 20. Check out the report in the mentioned link or just browse the Yes 4G thread.

UMobile should stop the unlimited crap before its network can take such a stress...

Actually the tower location to your area also contribute to slow speed..

I mean if there's any interference.. there's possibilities...
*
Instead of interference, I think it's most likely due to the fact that most 3G and 4G towers in Malaysia are not even fiberized, and it is easily get maxed out when the demand is way more than the capability.

Thanks for all the feedback. It is now appearing beside the carrier name. Not sure what I did though.

Maybe it takes some time to provision. Usually it’s not on immediate effect.

GX50 no need Wifi-calling = all domestic voice calls/SMS are free = can use cheapo or old phones.

For your info, WiFi calling is not equal to WhatsApp call, messenger call or whatever call on OTT app... it is a supplementary service to route your normal cellular voice call over the WiFi so that your call quality will not be affected by the poor reception of cellular signal.

1GB per day is probably sufficient if you’re just browsing news, communicating over WhatsApp, checking social media or checking email...

Well nothing to be surprised..
U Mobile in Borneo states sucks big..
That's why others like Digi or Celcom rules.. even Maxis, the so called market leader 50/50 only 🤣
*
FYI it is the NFCP phase 1, where Umobile won the tender to operate the sites.

In phase 2, you will start seeing some sites to be operated by Maxis...

I will still opt for 4G, because the latency is much better and it offers clearer voice call for VoLTE.

Digi network is the most congested. When people complain and complain, Digi would make those empty promise like "Digi proposed to install a new tower at your location", and it'll just ignore the case.
I think Digi cares money only, it'll never care its network good or bad. Look at Digi plans give a lot of quotas + loyalty rewards, what for when it can't be consumed up.

I believe U Mobile would overtake Digi some days. U Mobile has been getting awards, whereas Digi = "no news is good news".
*
When you said Digi ignores, how do you come to that claim?
Erecting a cellular tower is not as fast as signing up a home broadband though. It requires a lot of processes including the legal or approval process at local council.

Maybe the good thing about umobile is the wifi calling and wide support of VoLTE.

What you wish to do with the number then? You aren’t going to use it outside of Malaysia anyway.

Celcom is more reliable(= less dropped Internet connections) for online gaming maybe because it's 3G network is still well-maintained, eg for it's rural customers = can get 3Mbps on 3G. 3G can be the fall-back for 4G during 4G network congestion = Celcom phone customers experience less network congestion = less dropped Internet connections.

In comparison, U Mobile has re-farmed most of it's 3G frequencies to 4G and it's 3G network has likely been degraded and not well-maintained = can get only 0.5Mbps on 3G = only useful for 3G voice calls/SMS = U Mobile phone customers experience more 4G network congestion = more dropped Internet connections.

the 3G technology does not offer efficient use of the spectrum as compared to LTE technology. In fact I feel that telco should just refarm and move some of the spectrum to 5G.

I guess it’s not intense enough to pressure TM to match its plan with what umobile offers, especially on the symmetrical download/upload speed.
