Is Unifi Mobile accessible to deductions by those scamming 3rd-Party Content Providers?

Quick question:

Do TMpoint entertain port-in into prepaid Bebas?

Thanks to you guys, I'm baited and poisoned to allow myself to be victimised again by TM.

Ported-in into unlimited 99-for-59 1-year contract. And parking 2 prepaid numbers.

Hopefully I will live-through Celcom contract and still manage to sign-up Infinite plan. Would be awesome to have 2 unlimited operators, with capability to fail over to 3rd "territory" when all else fails.

2nd day.

I'd estimate 75% spent of H+.

If speedtest.net from my varied Penang island errands against TM 5G Langkawi server:
- usual upload 0.5Mbps, maxed 4.4Mbps
- usual download 30Mbps, min 4Mbps, maxed 33Mbps.

Vo-LTE quality is horrendous. Crackling to the point of almost cannot understand the syllables from the other end of the line. BUT in Aeon Queensbay, it's better to hear something than hearing only ONE syllable from every few words spoken by the other side when using Celcom's GSM voice call.

GSM and CDMA protocols are standard all over the world.

As part of those protocols, your phone reveal its IMEI, maker, model, and more information whenever it "log in" to telco network.

Even IMEI number can identify phone's maker and model.

After that, it's just a matter of matching your model to known device attributes. The attributes can be supplied by device manufacturers, local distributors, OpenSignal, NetworkCellInfo, Speedtest, CPUz, ....

Hey, you refused to acknowledge that TM is capable and disbelieved that THEY DO KNOW what device you are using.

I am just letting you know that the capability to learn about your device is part of GSM and CDMA protocols, and even if just by your IMEI alone, THEY DO KNOW, which, is contrary to your refusal to acknowledge that they are capable to.

There is no way to force a horse to spill nor drink. TM won't comment whether they bother to act, and whatever it is, you won't believe anyway.

Yup, he can stay on 3G; more 4G slice for everyone else.

WELP!

MNP from Hotlink to Unifi 59-for-99 12m contract, activation settled on 1st February on-the-dot.

Yes, it does not ask for RM100 upfront.

But, first bill today 1st March is [(RM59 × 2) + tax].

Kind of billshocked since this is postpaid but billing is upfront a-la prepaid.

Entered 1st Feb, now like I'm paying for both 1st Feb -> 29th Feb -> 31st March.

Question:

Will next 1st April bill deduct from this "upfront" payment, or will I have to pay additional upfront amount for 1st April -> 30th April pulak?

Where can I get the bill? Doesn't look like there's app UI link to it.

No, it's not about saving.

I'm used to Maxis, Digi, Celcom way of using upfront payment to knock off early bill(s). So TM doing advance billing every month on postpaid users is out-of-ordinary to me.

Imagining that after few years when I terminate this account and I forgot TM is doing advance billing, TM might still issue last bill that still ask for money "postpaid". So I have to be on top of this.

Blimey, you are right.
Advance billing NOT postpaid billing.





Attached thumbnail(s)

I've been signing up 10+ new numbers with celcom and digi last year.

While they do collect upfront payment, they immediately refund it back so it really ended up they-owe-nothing to you after a bill or two that you use first, then only pay. Really postpaid.

TM is the first one that I encounter "postpaid" asking to pay first for the next billing period. This one really advance billing instead of postpaid billing.

There are mainly 3 line items there. But repeated twice for period 1st Feb - 29th Feb and period 1st March - 31st March.

- Actual unlimited package price = RM139
- Permanent(?) promo for RM59-for-RM99 = -RM80
- foc 10GB LTE data (worth RM40 if subscribed independently)


I really hope TM keep their word that it's perpetually RM59 even after 12m contract.

Huawei Mate 20

SIM1 - Celcom
SIM2 - Unifi 4G + VoLTE


SIM1 ---> "official" number to call/sms
SIM2 ---> mobile data


Maybe this is not the right section, but anyone know why if I make or receive calls on SIM1, SIM2 will show "x" instead of "4G".

It kinda defeat that I want uninterrupted internet in background while a call is ongoing.

Official unrooted firmware.
Never have option for 4G-only.

Want to validate:
Prepaid Bebas disconnection is still 90 days since last monetary activity, right?

My initial-cum-latest reload was on 28th February.

Still 90 days, right?

i check spec, that mifi does not support unifi TDD-LTE signal.
so it fails over to Celcom 3G.

Ghe device spec itself does not support Unifi's bands. No need to waste time.

It's akin to using FM radio to look for satellite signal.

some device put non-data tray into 3G mode.
