If your location has good Unifi Bebas coverage, you can get their free SIM, and get monthly internet access for RM35 with unlimited LTE data.

Should you want this data from an Access Point, then some say you need a router with a sim card capability. I don't think that works, as I believe it is for a single device only, but I haven't tried for myself. What I did was I had a Nokia 8110 4G phone, which I set as a modem through the USB port. Instead of connecting to a computer, I connected to a router that can accept a modem on the router USB port. In my case I used an old Dlink DIR842 router, flashed with OpenWRT firmware. This firmware is what gives the router this functionality.

The connection was stable, fast enough, and worked well. I used this for 3 months while waiting for Time Telecom to finish their fibre deployment in my apartment building. I had actually ordered Unifi fibre, but decided to cancel when I saw workmen pulling Time fibre around the apartment block. Hence the 3 months of using the Unifi Bebas plan.

For the Unifi Bebas, is the unlimited hotspot free or need to pay?

I tried to use Unifi Air on Maxis router ZTE MF283V but no internet. The signal on the router is full. I also tried insert Celcom sim on the router and can get internet. How to fix this?

If I do get the Unifi Bebas prepaid, will the connection be stable if I hotspot from my phone to my laptop? Also, currently I'm using Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) which has dual sim capability, should I change my current phone number from maxis to unifi or just use a new unifi sim card?

I can't answer any of these questions for you. I can only say what worked for me and relate my experience to you. Get a free SIM card and test for yourself in your location, and then decide if it is good enough for you. "Bebas" even comes with free data preloaded so you can test without incurring any cost upfront.

You can load more data if this plan is suitable for you. If it is unsuitable then just store the SIM card. It will automatically be cancelled if there is no usage or top-up after 90 days.

As for changing your provider, or if you should add a SIM to your phone, I can only suggest that you think for yourself what your needs are.

anyone experience low upload speed here?

currently hotspot from phone, does it affect the upload speed?

Do I have to buy a modem to insert to improve it?

I need your input here before I can switch to fibre connection for better stability.

mine is less than 500kbps, literally not usable for gaming.

Thank you

Hi guys, just bought the Unifi Bebas Starter Pack. So far so good but I have encountered a problem. Recently when I play online game on my laptop using my mobile phone hotspot. I got high ping around 999ms, but when I browse or watch youtube, the internet connection speed is fine in my laptop.

Unifi bebas and Unifi Air is sharing the same network?

If I can get 6mbps speed only on Unifi Bebas, then will I get the same speed on Unifi Air?

Unifi Air speed is always unreliably consistent. Sometimes is fast, sometimes is slow.

I terminated after 2 weeks of usage.

Not stable at all. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow but late night can go up to 40mbps. Then morning went back to 10-20

Yes, the modem that they furnished you when you applied it because that one is warranty as long as you are subscribed.

It is their property. But if they furnish you another router, that one just warranty one year and not their property. You do not need to return.

(Sorry, Unifi air ah)

Ah bummer. Was planning to terminate mine as I'm out of contract too. Thought they'll let us keep the modem.
