nope. unfortunately unifi air doesnt came with landline number. interesting fact, the b618 huawei modem does have rj11 port for phone like we use at homelone.

im from sarawak too : peace:

i'm using Digi Infinite unlimited 150 now,with B618,can connect to a normal phone and make calls,tested. ( Volte,auto activated by Digi)

me from Miri,asked TM point last few days about Unifi Air,according to them,quite limited coverage for TM 4G LTE here,and if ur area oledi got Unifi,No Unifi Air will be offer,and at the moment no new registration for that,only existing Streamyx without Unifi will be notify by TM.However,u may just make request in thier "waiting list" smile.gif

You would have to hand it to TM for such a slow roll out of any packages without any consolidation or plans.

Last I'd heard from a TM Point while trying to purchases a B618, tests are already being run at KL and expanding, but only limited to customers that are subscribed to the Streamyx package and offered through phone calls.
The representative asked me to wait for around a month which is more or less starting today.
Darn. Where are you currently located?
Any more details about the B618 though? Is it locked?

if not mistaken,b4 this "Unifi Air" launch,it was call "wireless broadband",and by that time,when u subscride their wireless broadband,u will need to pay RM565 for the Huawei B618,without contract,and it's UNlock.

other telco like Celcom is using the same Huawei B618,but different series,with "22d" ( B618-22d),but it's locked to celcom sim card only,however,u can "jailbreak" it to unlock,maybe can try online tutorial ...

i'm using a unlocked B618 (tested with DG and celcom)for about 2 months,so far so good ...

If you're using wireless/portable broadband, you are definitely screwed in the gaming department. No matter what wireless/portable ISP you use

I do know all that...

Somewhat similar setup but I do have another portable M1 if I'm travelling around as suggested.

If >20Mbps is fast enough for you, you really aren't utilizing the inifite plan to it's full potential.

It could easily hit 100 Mbps if you try to lock the bands and utilise 4G+

i tried to connect my home phone with it. theres dial tone. but cant dial or call any numbers. lol. since the unifi air also came withsimcards, theres number assigned to it as well. my logical thoughts, calling the number will ring the phone. unfortunately it doesnt as well. laugh.gif
same bro laugh.gif
yep. i tried torrent. it does works at max speed (2mbyte/s) no vpn/proxies needed smile.gif

Well, unifi air is a broadband sim not mobile sim eventhough it uses the same micro/nano sim
Broadband sims are NOT designed to be able to call or to be called directly

Is the Unifi Air's SIM card "phone number" begins with the prefix "015-xxxxxxx"?

As what I know, 015 prefix are only for wireless broadband use, and can't be used for making and receiving regular mobile calls. It applies to all telcos.

Hmm, if it's 010-xxxxxxx, there is a chance that TM could activate voice service if they want.

apparently my friend got the unifi air and the modem sim slot got "warranty seal" stick on it... firmware wise seem still the old firmware on previously b618 65d..suspecting just old stock reserved for unifi air.

TM pple all have different communication channels.
Backend another channel. 1 AM another FM.
That's why when implementing something, sure got alot of problems.
This one dunno la, dunno where la, when start la, everything also clueless. laugh.gif
The only thing they know is chase your TM bill for money .
Of all complaints file to mcmc , TM has the highest record of not even able to solve the complaint problems or case unattended.
Even mcmc also keep quiet over the case. I believe it's best to hire walls inside tmpoint then human. doh.gif

its not available yet to public or new customer.

this is just one of their strategy to cope with unifi fibre demand among streamyx user... and apparently not all streamyx user get the offer,
i dont think consistency in paying bills is one of the criteria they choose. it just plain random it seems to me. as me myself nvr pay on time, maybe few days after due.. haha laugh.gif

it is actually using the same 4G lte tdd network , previously known as "webe" (or p1 perhaps, before rebrand) so the speed, depending on the area.

my area for example, it is usable, by usable i mean, for streaming definitely no problem as the speed can reach up to 30mbit/s (averagely 20mbit/s). but for gaming, id would definitely against it, as the latency/ping quite unstable. other than that, if you have home server/or cctv that require public ip, it definitely wont work. they wont provide public ip for you (confirmed my self by call and live chat).

in the end, i return my unit. and stay for streamyx. as it seems more reliable to me, free from 24 months contract, wait till fibre port are available. thumbsup.gif

My house currently using Streamyx 4Mbps (RM140/month). Been asking and waiting for Unifi to be available but nothing. And last week Unifi call and promote this Unifi Air (1 Month Free Trail). RM79/Month and Unlimited.

The speed so far very stable and satisfied

Tried lan cable , same speed like wifi on desktop and laptop juz 5Mbps . And i try torrent on hp , before it reach 1Mbps the ping go crazy . I suspect it is Nat table issue on device @ TM telco tower .
