To be fair. Rm30 for unlimited data, only yes 4G can fight. The rest without unlimited data is not able to fight even the price is low.

rm30 for unlimited data is indeed the best value for money price plan. just too bad, it is not up to standard.

Imagine if maxis or Celcom have such plan even with capped speed like u mobile or yes 4G now it will immediately KO them. 😜

It's because they already know you won't be able to utilize much of the "unlimited" data. biggrin.gif

For mobile or on-the-go use, UMobile 4G coverage nationwide is not as good as Maxis, Digi and Celcom but better than TM Unifi Mobile. This is common knowledge. Unifi Mobile does not even has its own 3G network = rides on Celcom's.

In my case, I have no problem web-surfing on 4G with UMobile postpaid GX50 because I use it as my home Internet, replacing the more expensive and slower TM Streamyx fixed home Internet. I get full 5 bars 4G signal reception most of the time at my house which is close to a highway in Klang Valley.

In densely populated areas and along main roads and highways in the Klang Valley and other city areas, mobile use on UMobile should be OK, ie not OK if in the suburbs, small towns, kampungs or rural areas. Where do u mobile at.? .......

Worse than maxis or Celcom, this one of course needless to say as this is a known fact. That’s why I said for anyone who is currently on maxis or Celcom should not jump ship to u mobile as it is a big downgrade. This is my point based on my own user experience.

Given the fact that u mobile cannot even compete with yes 4G. It may not be true that it is anything better than unifi mobile too. I have yet to use the unifi mobile unlimited rm59 plan but I did use their prepaid bebas plan before, the coverage is not too bad, somehow close to or similar to yes 4G in terms of coverage. I highly doubt that it will be worse than u mobile.

I understand that ur personal user experience and u use it for fixed line broadband replacement and it is good for u then. however do note that majority of people are having unifi or other fibre broadband at home too and what we need is on the go access. if a mobile broadband is only available or good at fixed points, it has no different as fixed line broadband only.

at least my experience is bad on u mobile for sure, whether is it good for others, it is up to them to experience and what I did is to share my personal experience, u do not need to defend or get affected too.

For those who are good on u mobile, just continue. For those like me who have experienced the bad, can just move on. At least I already have a certainly better option which I have tested.

In general, mobile broadband 4G/3G coverage is concentrated in city areas, town areas and along main roads and highways, ie often no coverage in the suburbs, small towns and kampungs or rural areas. This is just market economy, ie there is no ROI to put up a costly 4G cell tower which has a range of only 3 miles/5km for Internet data, in sparsely populated kampungs or rural areas.

In general, most people use mobile broadband 4G/3G at home, at work, during commute to/from work, at makan place and at shopping place. If your cheap "unlimited" 4G/3G phone plan covers these places which you often go to, then you are good to go. If not, try or go get a better phone plan with better coverage.

Like I said, I am using it in city and in a oldest and popular shopping mall and that’s the result. so it is not even an excuse for not having the coverage and speed. As I said, all the blind spots for u mobile I encountered are not at rural areas, as I have no issues with any other telcos and even a not major telco yes 4G has better coverage than u mobile and I strongly believe unifi mobile will be better at all these places too. So it is simply no excuses for u mobile to have such poor coverage and speed as it is the only telco that cmi at these places.

If u go to u mobile Facebook on those posts they advertise their plans, 9 out of 10 posts are complaining about the bad coverage and speed. So it is not an isolated case.

And be sensible too, your personal experience cannot represent the rest of people too.

my conclusion on gx30 umobile, around a week or so

its the worst telco i ever use

the coverage was bad, most place got 3g only, and contrast to what the other experienced,the 3g was too slow while the 4g is decent enough

this is on town area, i never thought town area also half half on 3g n 4g

my advice to whom that want to mnp, buy a sim from 7evelen, try the gx12(don't like me spend rm30 on gx30) , try a week and see if can bear the speed.

for me, I don't recommend because of the inconsistent speed and network.


for those who curious,yes, it can play 720p utube video without buffer,but depends on network sometimes.

Yeah bro, I felt u becos I did the exactly the same thing as u, I bought a new starter pack and I did the MNP. The number is not my main number though, just a quite nice number I got from yoodo. And I also spent rm30 extra on the GX30. Totally wasted of money. Day 1 I already vomited blood.

It has good network indeed at certain places like opened air etc. but it is totally inconsistent experience which most of the time cmi.

i carry 2 phone, OnePlus 7 pro is main phone with 2 sim, 1 for celcom for work, 1 unifi is my personal number, 2nd phone is v30 with whatever telco i want to test, want to try yes but yes is not unlimited anymore

I'm survey this thread before, as mentioned by many, seems like ok, i also do a scan on networks before buy umobile, ok got 4g

but like u bro, the network is inconsistent, sometimes 4g , most of the time 3g, both speed is not consistent also, sometime extremely fast, sometimes not, how can one expect me to use when it's not congested? what's the point for unlimited then?

i never had these problem with celcom and unifi before, my gf infinite 100 digi also can do 5 to 10mbps even at night when its congested.

my advice for umobile,just fix this issue and we'll consider again.

my advice for other,test the gx12 first, when u buy it the sim,its preloaded with rm6,top up another rm6 to try first

luckily I didn't mnp like u bro,but no contract,i think its ok

Yes. The speed really sucks...
Wonder how they got the award mentioned that UM have the most increase in coverage for 1 year period vs other Telco..
Maybe because they coverage is the lowest among all this playing catch up now 🤣

Anyhow...
for any Telco I want to use..
Normally I buy sim pack to test out first...
So not to disappoint later on...

To get such "improvement" award, you just need to start low.

It is like they have 1% coverage now. Increased to 2%. Then it is already 100% increase in coverage. sweat.gif

umobile may have advertised they spent a lot on upgrading lately, but most of these improvement work are aimed at plugging coverage gaps after sharing agreement with another telco was ended. previously, umobile was unusable along the ns highway, especially between seremban and jb, but now surprisingly 4g is available at many places.

in the cities we are obviously out of luck. umobile is unlikely to spend more money on places where they already have infra setup. for 4g, they started with lte band 7 and continue to deploy that extensively. lte b7 is the only available band at my place, and it is so bad that i have to step out of the house in order to get 4g. so for malls, unless they have repeaters indoor, it is unlikely to get good experience due to b7's poor penetration.

same like me also, i also buy new to try it out,but 7evlen got promo for rm36.90 if not mistaken,with rm36 inside, i say heck why not, instant regret.

but I'm not totally condemn umobile,they got very good intentions on making unlimited for everyone and affordable,but they need to fix their network first.

I'll be back ,but not now though.

Yes 4G Facebook also got many posts complaining about no line/connection. ....... https://www.facebook.com/Yes4G/

Complaints about online-gaming top AAA games like Call of Duty and video-streaming from obscure websites when using UMobile 4G are not valid, ie the problem lies with the foreign servers.

Hmm.. Seems like gx plan speed is capped for Twitch. Can't reach 1Mbps at all even on 4g. Max speed I can get is around 700+KB.
