I also see got 60GB in the app for postpaid 38, didn't get any sms for quota upgrade, time to wait and see if it's permanent or not

It seems U Mobile removed the 5GB hotspot restriction. Someone's gonna use the U98 plan as their home WiFi now LOL

Permanent maybe

What is meant by "Sharing from Highspeed Data"?
The reason is Hotspot Quota is still 5GB

Q: good day umobile i am currently on umobile postpaid 38. I'd like to know more about the hotspot usage. Does it mean the 5gb hotspot cap no longer apply? Is this offer a permanent 1? Thank you.

A: For Hotspot, you will still get 5GB hotspot data as usual and after you have utilised the hotspot data, you will be able to use the Hotspot Unlock and the data will be used from your main data bucket. For Hotspot Unlock, please stay tune as we will announce when our existing U Postpaid plan customers will be able to use this new function

FYI

Someone has made an experiment,

In KL not as good as DiGi and Maxis. Better than Celcom

But worse comes still got maxis 2G backup, even 3G non data in some areas for calls

Celcom was horrible the 7 days I tried them 😂😂😂 basically couldn’t use anywhere I needed it, but lightning fast at home where I have Wi-Fi
*
In my opinion, Celcom coverage is more wider than Umobile in the Klang Valley

Umobile is no longer using Maxis 2G network, instead using Celcom 2G network

I give few examples where I went with celcom in my 7 days with them that had zero signal, not even 2G

KLCC Marks & Spencer

Sunway Pyramid Uniqlo

Sunway Pyramid prefered parking, couldn't pay for parking in phone

The land border reclaimed land area in Melaka

Hilton Melaka

Jalan Ipoh KL, one hospital there but forgot the name.

I had no issues with umobile in these places.

For the indoor area, usually the management has installed an indoor antenna to expand the coverage inside the building. Mostly are Band 3 or 7

From my reading on Umobile website, it’s a promotion thingy so it is not permanent. Should be stated in faq or terms and conditions.

Promo for new and existing users. after the promo ends, users can keep it.
While for new registration will not get this privilege.

Then its quite confusing. Why would they use the word "Ultra Hotspot 5G " , the terminology "5G" is misleading. Oh well, this is Malasia. Cannot sue them for misleading ads.
And why would they need a separate hotspot data, if its not going to like - after depleting hotspot quota, your hotspot will stop.
*
It means Hotspot with high speed, no speed limit.
Please spell "Malaysia" correctly.

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.

Just like the GX38, this time it comes with Unlimited Hotspot RM5. No need to add-on RM5.
