Hi all sifu,

I am no Umobile old plan P70 for a long time (like >5 years), now thinking to re-contracted myself to P99 and pay RM1.00 for a new Galaxy A30.

But this way I recon that I may loose "something" in the process, namely :

1. right now I enjoy 5GB roam onz, P99 only gives 3GB. But I only use it like once in 2 years when I travel.

2. the P99 plan has 30GB limit on hotspot, my current P70 has 15GB, + video onz 7GB, + apps onz unlimited all without hotsopt limit. And my monthly usage (by kids) is about 30GB. Actually not enough but when they finished up the line I hotspot from my Maxis to save them tongue.gif

3. once I move to P99, after the 2 years contract there is no way for me to move back to P70 sad.gif May probably be forced to re-contract to get other phone in future sad.gif

What is your opinion ?

b.  You can use U Postpaid 38, 68, 98 and U FamilyShare line(s) via smartphones only and no other devices, such as a MiFi and USB dongle. We may from time to time change the device requirements for U Postpaid 38, U Postpaid 68 and U Postpaid 98 plans at our absolute discretion.

So, it is very likely against the T&C to use a 4G/5G modem with the SIM card, either for main data or Ultra 5G Hotspot data. If U-Mobile allows it, it will mothball it's Broadband plans with 4G/5G modems, Mifi, USB dongles, etc. U-Mobile can detect "illegal" 4G/5G modem usage for it's Mobile Postpaid and Prepaid plans with specialized software = the account can be deactivated temporarily for a day or 2 as a warning b4 complete shutdown, esp very active accounts with massive downloading or video-streaming.

The u mobile ultra hotspot 5G is only applicable when we have 5G signal and do hotspot from our h/p ?

If my area has only 4G+, can I enjoy the hotspot of 1000GB or not ?

So U98 is Ultra Hotspot? I'm so confused by the terms. sweat.gif

That's right. With U98 you can have the ultra hotspot activated thru the app.

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

Hi looking for actual user review here.
Saw in the website roaming for u98 includes Middle East.
I’m travelling a lot to jeddah and Mecca specifically. How’s the roaming there? Is it reliable?

planning to port in from maxis as it’s so much cheaper.. anyone mind to share their experiences.

Yes, uMobile free international data roaming is reliable.

Early this month I went to Germany / Austria for a meeting, departed from Singapore, transit at Istanbul airport. On within 24 hours I "visited" 4 overseas countries, all got 4G and at times 5G access at f.o.c. Awesome package !! thumbup.gif

For a week in Europe and I kept sharing my line to colleague via hotspot, only managed to used up 2GB roaming data, which is free tongue.gif

Anyone can tell why u mobile online mentioned that "you are not eligible for standard package" after verify the IC?

Edit:
U home 5G sim only can proceed.
U mobile postpaid all can proceed.
U home 5G + Router cannot proceed.

U98 and uHome 5g.

When at office today, there's 5g. When back to home also had 5g with my phone.
But, my uHome still not able to get 5g.

Then I took out the uHome SIM and put into my phone to test.
Now both the u98 and uHome Sims only can get 4g signal 😫

Even taken out the uHome SIM, my U98 still stuck at 4g after restart or turn on/off airplane mode or reset apn.

In those time when you had 5G, how strong was the signal ? Looks like the 5G signal is too weak at your home. Your 5G modem can lock band ?

Anyone has any idea what is the data roaming rate for u mobile U98 postpaid for Norway ?

It's not ladies in the 63 free data roaming countries. Yet there's no place I could find how much u mobile is charging.
