Anyone using 5G phone and happens to be around Berjaya Times Square area by any chance?

This website shows that U Mobile has a small portion of 5G coverage here.

Curious about this too, but can safely assume no one in this thread is using a 5G phone, because no one responded even though it has been brought up earlier.

Still considering if I should get a prepaid SIM just to test out their 5G at Berjaya Times Square, apparently it's just a consumer trial that will end on the end of December.

No problem, will update here after trying it.

It's only available in level LG, G, 1, 2 and 3 if I'm not wrong.

It's a trial after all, not expecting the coverage to be much wide either within the mall.

Probably need a software update to enable it in the future, even Samsung doesn't work either according to some sites.

So far the only confirmed 5G phones that support it is from Huawei.

Currently at Berjaya Times Square, my P40 can't connect to 5G.

Apparently the staff said I have to use for more than 1-2 weeks in order for 5G to be activated as the SIM is still new, this wasn't even stated in their FAQ.

Conclusion, U Mobile wasted my time.

Yeah, I also felt that it's just a BS excuse when apparently their network isn't even ready yet.

I'll probably go again after a week or two if I have time but I wouldn't have high hopes on it again.

Sure, will do.

Thanks, just noticed that, will try again maybe after couple more weeks just in case.

Anyone switched to eSim? Just curious how is the experience

Staff told me can't do it for me yet when I first port in, need to return again after successfully porting in.

Wow, didn't know there are charges for switching to esim

But thank you for the explanation.

Haha, got a little shocked when the staff said RM 10.60 for eSim that day...

But the experience was quite seamless

I ported in to U Mobile from Celcom recently, I was surprised that their coverage improved quite a lot, speed is decent too.

However, there may be some areas where the network is a little spotty (eg: full bar 4G+ but video keeps loading for a little while). But overall, I feel U Mobile is more stable than Celcom from where I live and usually go, I'm in Klang Valley too.

Anyone managed to sign up for Jaringan Prihatin? I tried and couldn't get through the registration page after entering my IC and phone number.

Thanks, apparently the app was buggy for me, it worked when I used PC.

Maybe consider the cheap 5G phones we have in our market right now?

If I'm not wrong, if SIM 1 can support up to 5G the SIM 2 should be 4G too.

Oneplus Nord N10 5G
Realme 7 5G
Poco M3 Pro 5G (coming soon)

Any sifus here know if a phone still doesn't support VoLTE on a telco network, which side is responsible to solve this, the telco or the manufacturer?

There are two ppl that I know are using TCL Plex on U Mobile, but they still can't enable VoLTE yet. They tried contacting U Mobile, but CS told them to contact TCL instead, and then when they contact TCL, the CS said awaiting response from software department and then no reply from CS after 1 month.

Funny thing is that I heard other TCL Plex users on Unifi Mobile and Digi can get VoLTE, but not on U Mobile.

If I'm not wrong, the phone went through 3 updates including Android 10 update and the last one enabled VoLTE for Unifi Mobile according to a user in the TCL Plex discussion thread though.

But thank you for the explanation, it seems TCL phones should really be avoided at all costs for the terrible after sales support then.

I see, thank you for the explanation!

If I'm not wrong, they could be forcing current users to get the new "5G Prepaid Pack" first in order to sub to the new prepaid plans, and if you get the "5G Prepaid Pack" from their website, you would have to pay RM 30 + RM 10 for it.

The new prepaid plans seem to be replacing the current GX prepaid plans since they're now gone from the website.

I guess I'll wait for a month since I just renewed my GX30 recently, doubt they would give any rebates or provide seamless switching if I wanna switch now.

They're probably replacing the current prepaid GX plans with U25/U35.

But in order to subscribe to the new plans, we would have to get the new "5G Prepaid Pack" first. If want to retain same mobile number, it can be done when their system is ready. This is what I heard from their CS.

Just upgraded from prepaid to the new Postpaid 38 today, but then app has been down for me ever since, not sure why...

EDIT: App is back to normal now.

U28 and P48 too

Initially thought they would also upgrade those plans with more data for 5G and give it a new name just like the old P38 to new Postpaid 38

But they streamlined it into one instead, having more options would've been better to cater for different usages tho.
