gps signals come from the satellite not from telco. phones can obtain location information from telco towers via triangulation but it is not accurate.

when reactivating power prepaid from grace by purchasing validity, i guess both free high speed and free basic internet are not usable. can anyone confirm this?

hotspot usually means tethering.

for prepaid validity extension, number will be become active till the (end of) following day. so for rm1, you can get up to 2 days of active period. rm1 is deducted from main balance, not from credit share balance. going to love umobile again.

it doesn't matter if the display is 4g or lte. it all depends on the settings on your phone (e.g. carrier profile) that are usually not user customizable.

wonder if umobile will find out.

try and see. if doesn't work, only rm5 to lose right?

we should shutdown 3g first. this would force all telcos to improve their currently patchy 4g coverage.

2 weeks is a long time. better get a local sim card. roaming has its own quirks and risks.

umobile lte...spin spin and spin. after forcing to 3g only then it can load. anyone experiencing the same?

new sim packs used to be sold at tesco and cold storage for rm3. anyone knows where can i still get new sim at this price?

it will be 30 days from today.

only on xiaomi phones right? don't recall any issue when used on iphone.

of course can. buy from the right places, e.g. convenience stores.

there are not many umobile owned stores around.

no you can't. the store people will usually use telco provided smartphone and registration app and take a snapshot of your id. no manual handling of personal data.

free shipping?

thought you need just one new number...

to register, you need to submit an image of your identification document to the dealer. do you feel safe with this?

umobile may have advertised they spent a lot on upgrading lately, but most of these improvement work are aimed at plugging coverage gaps after sharing agreement with another telco was ended. previously, umobile was unusable along the ns highway, especially between seremban and jb, but now surprisingly 4g is available at many places.

in the cities we are obviously out of luck. umobile is unlikely to spend more money on places where they already have infra setup. for 4g, they started with lte band 7 and continue to deploy that extensively. lte b7 is the only available band at my place, and it is so bad that i have to step out of the house in order to get 4g. so for malls, unless they have repeaters indoor, it is unlikely to get good experience due to b7's poor penetration.

but my hotlink performed badly during mco. i got 4 bar 4g but when i opened apps, i got error message complaining no network connectivity. i decided not to reload and then keep the card dormant for 50 days.

digi is slower now, but still working.
