Hello, currently Im working in a contract for about 7 months (Now Im still in my 1st month of work). I was wondering is getting unifi air sim card worth it? Im using maxis unlimited prepaid plan but it has FUP which limit the usage of data for me. I usually browse the internet, watch youtube and play online game.

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.

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.

No it doesn't have a limit.
