Cheapest way?

I think their network engineers are not to be underestimated.
They have firewalls to detect data packets from my innocent 3g router. Definitely its (my router) identifying itself to Umobile as a 3g router and not a smart phone.

Its clearly written in their T&C

Of course i wont be telling umobile's CS that im using a router. They will darn right say - its your fault, you didnt read our T&C.

Here is a link on how telcos detect Hotspot. Complex.

okay fine Umobile - you win this time but not for long when i consider porting out. YOODO seems attractive with their flexible plan. But have to be extra alert with YooDo.

keep no signal these few days

Pay using credit card (with cash back)

Use Boost to pay, can get additional shake reward on top of credit card cashback

Interested on the GX50 plan, but was wondering how bad/good is the 5mbps speed cap??
i'm at Penang, Bayan lepas , Gelugor area most of the time, anyone can comment on the speed?
I would say the only time I needed a lot of data is when i'm using, Youtube, FB (videos) and Spotify streaming (very high setting)
Is 5mpbs speed enough for those above?

thanks.

or should I just go for the P48 plan that has the App Onz, Video Onz and Music Onz which basically covers all my need above?

is there a speed cap for P48 plan??

Thank you for your input.

Previous years the coverage was ok, i used to travel to many states even lack of 4g coverage but the H+ was fast enough, at least decen tload 480p youtube.

If not mistaken GX50 capped speed at 1.5mbps for video streaming

Hi. I was in D'Piazza AirBnb apartment for the CNY and i find the speed quite respectable. Not extremely fast but not slow eeither . Was using Youtube btw. Which is more stress-test compare to Spotify.
And im using P79 which means i have uncapped speed. But i was on 3g signal (due to my modem is only 3g).

However your speed will vary depending on base station busyness and location and time.And Bayan Lepas i believe is quite a wide area.

u can use reload to pay postpaid bill

So I'm planning to buy a um prepaid sim to test um coverage and speed at my area, and if all goes well I'll port over from unifi prepaid. My question is do i need to buy another sim for the mnp process or just use the existing one I've used to test? Looking at um website, for online mnp its intructed to buy a simcard and register at the dealer, key in the new simcard number and serial at the online form, reply to existing telco mnp confirmation then use the um sim but it didn't mention anywhere whether the um sim need to be activated or not after purchase before invoking the mnp process. Its confusing.

You can port in to your test sim, so long as it's registered and active.

Hope Umobile can introduce more flexible add on for prepaid, just like how Digi introduces the add on of daily plan, music plan, video lite plan and etc...

I use both

Yes, I use boost-->11s to top up postpaid

y not directly from boost? earn b points?

11s also can earn bpoint

lol, i mean you choose 11st because of bpoints? or some other reasons?
