Just add more 8, then double the speed from 3Mbps to 6Mbps.

I don’t see it on the Umobile app yet

unlimited speed to other telcos like maxis or celcom make sense becos the limits of them are different than u mobile.

it is like if maxis and celcom have a maximum 4G speed of 100Mbps, by paying extra to uncap the speed, make sense.

for u mobile, it is totally a gimmick. even uncapped also same like capped. since the limit of them is always below 5Mbps no matter where most of the time.
*
Add the * also..... subject to many different variables as well.... umobile probably have too many variables

because you definitely won't get 100mbps everywhere....

also I heard for 5G, all telcos are going to share 1 base station

If 5G confirm sure share 1 base station, sure will congested. shakehead.gif
How can like this thousand of ppl share only 1 base station?

Like that not need buy so good phone loh... Coz if you purchase 5G, you won't be enjoy 5G speed.

Looks like maxis and celcom would be sharing base station(MOCN)

https://www.nst.com.my/business/2020/01/557...g-opportunities

And Umobile and TM shares their 5G base station

TM 4g coverage is already bad, I wonder how would 5G turn out, especially when umobile and TM offers unlimited data plan, TM officially supports hotspot as long as it's on 4g(TM network only, 8mbps speed cap), umobile offers many different unlimited plan that can be used on 2g-4g and potentially 5G as well with different speed caps and data cap for hotspot

With this, we’ll get potentially nice coverage but there may be congestion

Umobile denies it and U Mobile has highlighted that the FUP for GX30 and GX50 have been removed.

Talking about sharing infra in 1 tower, I wonder if telcos shall consider consolidate all 3 telco tower's 2G network (Maxis, Celcom and Digi) into a single consortium,

After all, it isn't that cost efficient if all 3 telcos operates its own 2G network in today's context, so might as well share all of them into 1 tower. Like let say if this particular area has 2G coverage from all 3 telcos from 3 different towers/antenna, why not just consolidate into 1 tower/antenna? So it's like 2G network domestic roaming.

So that can fully utilise the 2G towers, and shut off those duplicate towers, and telco can refarm even more bandwidth for 3G and 4G.
*
Maybe all of them should roam on telco like maxis, basically what umobile is currently doing, I've heard that US/SG already shutoff their 2G network already

Oh.. that the ghost might telan duit if got this "carrier billing".. shakehead.gif
Hehehe.. at least android users can straight away ceased data connections or disable function of carrier billing.
*
On iPhone the user need to set up carrier billing 1st and Touch ID/FaceID/ password to set the payment option
Also, the user can set whether they require password to buy apps/in app purchases

Can force a setting also with screen time > restrictions, and usually, I would force disable in-app purchases as it's easy to press the buy button in an app by accident and accidentally verify with face ID/ Touch ID..... Happened to me at one point, had to contact apple for a refund( there's a website for that)

The only possible explanation is there are not many u mobile users at the same spot.

In Ipoh, the coverage is way better, Ipoh got 4G+ coverage 1st before KL.... can tell because at that time, I was using iPhone 5

During festive season(cny, Christmas) the network feels like normal

I sokong you, unifi mobile is more better and stable in terms of connection. Even H+ also can browse smoothly.

H+ is celcom network, 4G only using unifi network, for pure unifi experience, sub to their unlimited plan which will lock your 4G to unifi cell tower only

ooh maybe because more hilly area..
the signal power needed to be more powerful to penetrate the hills  devil.gif
thus full coverage signal strength all the way  drool.gif

confused.gif  hmm.gif
*
Well according to my cousin who lives in Ipoh, Digi and umobile have better signal than celcom and maxis because many people use it for it’s price rclxub.gif No idea if this is true....

but full signal strength means that more people will be connected to the same tower if that's the case

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Feb 21 2020, 11:48 AM)
normally during festival & PH time.. sure congestion issues..
not for UM only. but ALL telco operating in Malaysia...
only differences is how critical is the congestion / traffic...

u says network feel normal huh?
meaning the capacity is way more than normal (even for KL standards)...
that's why feel normal..

just my guess...
*
Can't exactly confirm this but as far as I recall, last Christmas, Celcom network doesn't feel fast.....

Can load Astro go on umobile network in Ipoh as well

The telco will definitely know when their SIM card is activated

As for IMEI, yes the telco will know, one use of it is to blacklist the IMEI of a stolen phone and the phone can’t receive any signal from telcos

Wanna try this one?

http://www.gamelord.my/web/index.php?m=main&c=show_feedback

Maybe this will help. Just go for termination
*
I've just noticed that gamelord is somewhat a subsidiary of umobile? I had the same exact issue last month, my RM3 got deducted.... complain to them and they made it hard to request for a refund by only allowing the account owner to request for a refund only.... already reported to mcmc last month....


seems like a dirty trick from umobile?

will definitely try your suggestion

I see.
I am also a U Mobile prepaid user since 11 July 2018, almost 2 years already.

I totally do not receive any of these kinds of messages until today.

In my opinion, your case may be someone ( your family members like young child ) has accidentally opened the link and touched the subscribe button using your iPhone.

Try to find out what will make this happen to your phone carefully, I strongly believe both Gamelord and U Mobile, and other telco companies will not simply charge the 3 automatically if there is nobody has pressed the subscribe button accidentally.
*
I was using the phone and suddenly I got the SMS....


Game lord appears to be part of umobile, also I’ve umobile for years already and only started receiving this sms since feb 2020.... and it happens out of nowhere


And just an update, after checking the sms history, turns out it’s a different service but the same rate
