UMobile has been pretty quiet this recently. No news about coverage expansion nor new product introduction... Wonder what's up with them nowadays

Gx50 is a postpaid plan from umobile, where calls and SMS are unlimited.

Gx30 and umi30 are prepaid plan from umobile, where the calls are 14sens per 30sec and the SMS is 12sens per and. Note that umi plan includes 30 minutes free calls to all network.

For digi prepaid plan, their calls and SMS are slightly more exp (30 send per minute and 20 send per sms). Some of their plan e.g. kaki social 38 includes free calls too.

Yup, a lot of them are porting out from umobile due to their poor coverage and speed. My advice is just buy their prepaid sim to test their coverage and speed in your housing area. Maybe your area umobile is good enough for day to day usage.

Hope it helps. 😁

What's the use if the network is only usable in limited area?

Umobile needs to buck up, not just to rely on fanciful marketing to sugarcoat the brand only.

They don't block it from your phone as wifi hotspot, but they block it if it's inserted into modem/mifi.

This is because it is targeted to use on the mobile devices instead of ‘shared home broadband’.

Sharing over wifi hotspot tends to stress more on the bandwidth, especially when the package is unlimited and there is higher possibility that users can abuse it.

I have all 3 Tunetalk , Hotlink and Umobile (but my Umobile used as broadband at home)
I like Tunetalk because it has good data plans and 10gb free every month. And cheapest international roaming withib Axiata group.

Hotlink only wins in coverage but speed not that fantastic yet expensive for its data. If u call alot then Hotlink Flex is worth it. Especially Flex Plus

But still, it still does not have the advanced features such as the VoLTE and wifi calling. It’s already 2019 and we are still relying on 3G for voice and more...

volte doesnt bring benefit to telco, so they dont plan to implement it

Let’s see if it is still not beneficial to telco once it is mandated to shut down the 2G and 3G network in due time.

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 wonder how much actually subscribers based they have now??

Usually people who are satisfied with the network won't come out and praise it actively.

The sales department is way faster than the development of the technical department.

lol. So laughable. 3g even higher and consistent than its 4g.

Most likely most people hog on the 4G network and 3G becomes relatively less strained ...

What is the APN for umobile? Authentication type? username/password?
I just bought a prepaid sim card to test.

I am staying in Johor Bahru,the line full 4g, on the supposedly gx30 plan... but on YouTube like dial up standard...

Buffering like every 30 seconds...

Useless telco

Most likely the YouTube is managed with the video-onz, which further limit the speed to 1.5mbps if the policy is still in effect in Umobile.

U Mobile definitely bought the award. I mean LYN forum is a testament to how poor the service is

The recent network enhancement exercise does not improve the experience at all?

Did UMobile just use Band 1 for LTE?

It's a good news if it's true. Telco should just shift away from 3G.

speedtest.net is white listed by umobile so you always get the full speed. That's why I'm not using them.

But neither does fast.com is accurate enough to benchmark the speed because it is under the video-onz.

Where I live. even switch to 3G intentionally or unintentionally.. also slow. in fact makes it worse. Just imagine, on good days or good mood, my 4g is only as fast as a 3G.
And what if I say that my area is covered by 3 base stations (I use Net Monster app to check) and still blardy slow.

and it only happens to UMobile in my area.

Because I have Hotlink and Tunetalk while my wifey has Digi and recently I let her try Yes 4g Prepaid (since her phone is new) . All telco I try in my area and it works well except UMobile.

So goodbye UMobile. Tak mau try lagi.

Umobile P99 speed test after #cubatry end

At night the speed is 12mbps like wtf
it was at least 37mbps when #Cubatry

sometimes even 1mbps @night this happens after the end of #cubatry means this is not caused by congested

While on #cubatry it was all 100mbps@morning /37mbps @night

Also, this applies to good signal area for u mobile.
If u on the average/bad area might get even below 3mbps constant speed  sweat.gif

For 12mbps, it should be fine for most of the internet activities right?

vomit blood seriously. At place was stuck with 4G 1 bar, cannot surf at all. Since it is stuck at 1 bar, it also does not switch to 3G or so automatically. End up need to manually set to 3G just to surf. wtf.

Thought they have invested into the improvement plan a few months ago? The network quality is still bad?
