Is the prepaid really unlimited data?

Ok. Thanks for the sharing.

So many restrictions and speed is so slow.

I can confirm that it is not something for me.

If 1 to 1.5Mbps only, even YouTube video only play at 360p to 480p at most.

Totally not the case, nowadays all phone are having high resolution. 480p looks totally pixelised on screen.

If it is 720p and above it is still acceptable.

yeah. 480p no matter on what kind of display nowadays on mobile phone feel blurry and pixelised. Set aside individual lower acceptance level.

It is the same like watching 20 years ago standard definition drama on HD or full-HD TV. If it is on 4K TV will be even worse for many more times.

I think ur understanding is not correct at all.

Those articles u post are talking about whether higher resolution is needed on a phone.

unless u have a phone that can change resolution like Samsung flagship phone. Else it does not save battery.

For example, ur phone is 1080p, even u run a 1080p or 480p video the resolution of the phone still stays at 1080p. The 480p will just be ‘upscaled’ to fix the screen. So it does not have the battery saving as what u claimed.

Based on the recommended bandwidth required by YouTube itself, 1.5Mbps can never stream 720p. To stream 480p is not a problem though. This explains why u mobile video streaming is always limited to 480p.

U Mobile prepaid start pack must buy with rm30 TOP up = rm40++ total? Cannot just buy rm10 start pack to test?

What about u mobile own store? They can sell just the start pack only?

If buy from those convenient store, we can do our own registration online to activate the SIM card rite? Do not feel safe to let them handle my personal documents.

I think u mean 3000kbps = 3Mbps? I dun think 300kbps can stream even 480p.

If 4Mbps will be sweet spot, 720p (auto) no issue and again 1080p (manual) is ok also.

I see. That's good. At least can watch 1080p video.

The starter pack seems to be able to just buy from the online store.

Maybe will buy one to try and do the MNP to enjoy 6 months rebates.

My existing data plan number is not an important number also since I use it for pure data purpose. Can just MNP anytime. If the GX30 is not satisfactory can just dispose or MNP out again.

For those starter pack selling on Shopee is it safe to buy? Given that they are at lower price sometimes.

Depending how much u purchase, some got free shipping with more items purchased.

This is why I am asking here. This is exactly the point that I am concern about.

Anyone MNP to u mobile GX30 and get the rm25 monthly (rm5 rebate) for 6 months?

On the website, there are two options. One to buy new starter pack with new number. One to is switch.

If I click “switch to u”, it said step 1: buy and register ur starter pack. step 2: enter your personal details including the u mobile new number and SIM serial number.

My question is how to perform the step 1 for the switch?

how to I get a starter pack and how do I register a starter pack?

Do I need to buy from online store or buy from the u mobile store? Then I contacted the u mobile CS, their reply is nothing better. The reply I got is that if I buy the starter pack and registered I cannot get the discount. Like that how I am going to do the step 1 man? If dun do the step 1, I cannot do step 2 becos it requires new u mobile prepaid number and SIM serial number? Where do I get these info man?

It is totally ambiguous instructions from both website and even the human.

Wtf.

I see. Ok. Thanks a lot. I remember cold storage also got sell the u mobile sim pack. maybe will get from there also.

Ok. Thanks bro. Will go and buy today since port-over will take few days also. 21 Jan needs to start using.

Yeah indeed. Rm30 per month for mobile usage is really a great savings as recurring expenses.

I am going to try buy the starter pack and MNP online today. Hope the network is not as bad as what I had used before. Currently using yes konfem 4G. So far so good no complaint. Just becos it is data only plan I am using so no harm to try others.

I see. This promo must do MNP online to get. So even at u mobile store can only buy the starter pack and fill up the form to MNP to get the rebate.

I am not using the number for my main line. Purely for data plan. So just MNP to get discount only.
