Based on their coverage map, my condo site is half covered, half not. And my block is on the not-covered side. Lol. Registration can only be done at TMPoint right? Quite troublesome as they are only open during office hour.

Just subscribed to sim only plan. When I first asked at TMPoint, their staff said I cant use phone for hot spot, need to use modem. I plan to use my phone as hot spot and my phone supports band 5. Then I went to another branch to register, the staff asked if I already have modem. I just said I have since some people here said they can use their phone. Other than the sim can't make call, is there any other reason the staff show extra concern on using modem instead of phone?
Got back to office, and I remember my last year ipad also supports band 5 so I put the sim in the ipad instead. So far I can browse and update apps on the ipad, and use it as hot spot too. If there is no restrictions that I should be concerned about and coverage is ok at home, I'm thinking of terminating my current celcom sim for the ipad and use this unifi plan.
Download speed in my office average about 20 - 22 Mbps but upload speed is all over the place. Lol.

QUOTE(budi1413 @ Oct 16 2019, 08:34 PM) im also using the sim in phone as mobile data. so far i go everywhere in klang valley coverage also gooding. cheaper than i150 and unlimited. really satisfied. speed varied from 5mbps to 60mbps depending on location and band used. I haven’t try to put the sim in my phone, but so far coverage is quite spotty for the ipad. Maybe I can’t terminate my celcom sim for the ipad afterall cause sometimes i use my ipad for waze. Lol. QUOTE(jsnhoh @ Oct 16 2019, 09:29 PM) Great to hear that. Do you need to set any APN setting in your phone? I need to set the vpn in my ipad. unifi for apn and username.

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Oct 18 2019, 07:20 AM) Those who want sim only to use on your phone why not settled for unifi mobile RM99? I think it will have much wider coverage than this Unifi Air. It's unlimited data and call according to what I saw. Unifi Air got unlimited hotspot. The only reason I gambled and register the sim only plan even though my home just missed their coverage area. QUOTE(budi1413 @ Oct 18 2019, 08:58 AM) i believe the coverage is same. rm79 is cheaper than rm99. youtube not capped. unlimited hotspot. I thought coverage is different between air and mobile? I'm still contemplating if I need to replace my ipad current sim with this unifi air sim. Worry later when I'm using waze and suddenly no coverage. Lol.

My area unifi air is getting worse. Used to be able to stream with great picture quality during peak time (8pm to midnight). Since MCO it just went downhill. The worse was about a month / 3 weeks ago where connection was lost and needed to restart router a few times a day. Now connection is stable but speed during peak hours average about 5mbps. Lol.
