Afaik, the highlighted statement above is very likely not true bc if true, the Ultra Hotspot 5G via 4G/5G modems would have cannibalized U Mobile's own recent U Home 5G Broadband plan via own 4G/5G modems @RM68 per month no-contract offer. .......

....
b. Once Ultra Hotspot 5G is applied to your U Postpaid 38, U Postpaid 68 and U Postpaid 98, your data is shareable via mobile hotspot/data-sharing. Mobile hotspot quota which is shared with other devices will be drawn from the Main data bucket of your rate plan. ...

Of course, afaik, UMo mostly detects "illegal" heavy data-users of Ultra Hotspot 5G via modems, then warns and/or blocks them, eg use 30GB of data in one day or use up the 200GB data quota every month for the U68 plan or use up 1,000GB every month for the U98 plan, ie IOW "illegal" light or non-max-out monthly data-users of Ultra Hotspot 5G via modems may escape detection.

Got it and no contract right?

I don't think so, although I am having a contract with U mobile due to my S23 purchase.

Thanks for the information! Gotta study my usage well before committing to it, it definitely looks good though.

5G speed is even worst than 4g nowadays during working hours. lol. used to be damn fast!

Of course, last time each telco has respective dedicated network to serve each pool of customer, right now under the wholesale network model, all pools merge and use the same 5G network. How can it be not slow?

umobile is good telco for heavy user
kudos to u Mobile

anyone recently facing older phones unable to receive calls keep getting missed call sms?

i have 2 phones i swapped simcard, newer phone can received calls but older phone starting recently cannot received call anymore... data sms everything working fine. can make outgoing calls but cannot received calls.

Hi all, I just requested to port in today, and it will take 2-5 biz days, are they doing manually?

normally will receive port out confirmation from current telco within 24hrs

There's no processing of MNP requests on public holidays. Service should resume in the morning and hopefully you'll receive the confirmation sms tomorrow.

Yucks. Orange telco is the worst telco I had experienced so far in bolehland.

usually 24 hours but sometime might take bit long

they said it will take 2-3 business days

aisey , then need to wait lorr

Lol forgot we have umobile thread in here

Thinking to change my gx68 plan to u68 or even u38 since my usage only about 75gb per month

Mind sharing 5g speed (regardless of time) in gombak or keramat area?

I just want to say, recently switched to maxis for volte roaming in USA, but when I got back to Malaysia Jesus Christ is it bad

Volte cannot even sustain call for more than 20 seconds at my home, with full 4G

Sometimes call can last for a few minutes, but it cuts out multiple times and cannot hear the other person for a few seconds

Sometimes volte fails all together and drops down to 2G calling, which sounds bad but at least doesn’t drop

I can’t believe maxis premium network is having such teething problems with their “volte” network, it truly is shocking paying so much more, receiving so much less data, and still can’t even make a simple call

Can’t even use vowifi at home because maxis blocks it unless signal is low, and I can’t be putting my phone on airplane mode just to make a call on WiFi

Just lodge a report to Umobile, they had shutdown 3G services and those phone without VOLTE will have issue receiving calls if you are on a 4G network. you need to switch to 2G Edge to receive calls... so bullshit

Bro, 3G shutdown was announced years ago and has been down for quite a while now
And also, most phones already support VoLTE

what device are you using?

and if you are asking why not just keep 3G up forever, its the same as why analog tv got shut down, to make way for newer technologies like 5G, which may reuse the same channels/bands/frequency

The proper way I understand is if incoming call, it should auto drop to 2G to receive the call. But recently not sure what umobile did it is not working anymore at my area. I was traveling out of my area then i am able to receive call. I'm sure they had misconfigured some settings maybe at some cell tower or station.
