I check on the TM website my home is not in coverage, but it got coverage beside the taman . It just next to my house about 15-20 unit houses. If I use it in my area , can I get the signal if this situation?

Test it yourself first. Get unifi bebas prepaid sim card and use app Network Cell Lite Info. Check what band you are connected and signal strength. Lastly check speedtest day and night, peak hours and non peak hours.

Unifi bebas prepaid sim card I test before . I can get 8mbps day and night . But I thought prepaid and unifi air using different band?

They both using same band. Should subscribe add on internet data to test your speed limit in the area. I think free 1 gb per day also can test max your speed.

Now purchase a new unifi prepaid sim card got free 1 week unlimited data. I use it everyday and I can get the full speed 8mbps . They using same band? That;s mean I can use unifi air in my area as well? Even the website showing my area is not in coverage for unifi air?

Yes same band and can use unifi air. Install network cell info app on your phone to check what band it is connected and the signal strength you are getting.
Normal handphone shop also got. I bought mine at local shop for rm 15.

Do I need to use unifi prepaid sim card to test? Or I just need to check on the app which band is unifi using?

Why TM tell me it is different with unifi air and unifi prepaid band? They say cannot use, it is different

Put unifi bebas sim in phone and open the app. It will display band and signal strength. Not sure why they told like that, probably because unifi air is internet only service while bebas is phone services.

The name of the app is exactly "network cell info" ? I cant find this app.

The app showing what band you are connected and just look at gauge meter. If it on green then you got good signal strength. Use that gauge to find best place for strongest signal to put your modem later.

In the app it dont showing the band I using . When I stay inside the house ,the signal is under yellow,number is around -100 . But when I stand beside the window , it become green, the signal number move around -90 to -85 . Above the meter it showing LTE Unifi

As the previous guy said,
Simplify is that the signal shared to people around u who have unifi air too. thus ur speed got shared/discounted /cut half

My area is just a small town . I dont know there is so many unifi air user too. I just did speed test , 2mbps only when I locked to band 40
