wow! very expensive.

Does anyone know which 5G phone is cheapest? Would the cheap 5G phone perform similar with these 5G modem?

better buy a prepaid to test it out first.. if the speed like kura kura.. u cry

last time i test on my office, all show good signal but once indoor.. only celcom and Maxis really can use.. the rest vomit blood
*
haha.
Thanks for the advise.
But as I mentioned, if I am going to spend money on prepaid, might as well just get the actual plan for RM68. Should be no contract for this plan. So I can terminate after 1st month.

my experience living few years using mobile internet as my main internet connection with digi i150, you will need to invest in a good modem. these days, i don't know what good 5G modem/router available. back then huawei was the best for 4G. need to make sure the data band is compatible and such.

1000GB FUP will be more than enough for regular internet browsing, streaming and occasionally download games.  forget about competitive online games, because ping will be high.

thanks for your feedback. will take into consideration to get a modem. but will try with my old phones first.

Thanks for this. Will ask them when I get the sim card.
RM30 for extra 1000GB is nice.

modem vs hp..

signal does play some main features too to get good speed n stable connection.  if your indoor signal strong. hp probably will be stronger and depends on which modem u invest into it.

for my personal experience on my area. hp signal is weak vs modem. in hp only 2 bar. modem able to get full bar. if sim in hp signal is unstable and internet line will often disconnected. no issue is sim inside modem.

depends on your area. if for future use, better get 5G modem. 4g modem still decent to use for placed dont have 5G yet.

cheap hp, can try get poco f3, f4. decent chipset and get decent speed to. if can root it, is better.
*
thanks for the advise. i wish to have standalone modem instead of phone.

I will research poco f3 and f4.

hardly can reach that per month

few things to consider
1. if u can get fiber, get fiber...the hardware is included
2. make sure your house is covered by U-mobile, their coverage very limited
3. 5G router/modem is not cheap, this one u have to buy yourself

if you're ok on no.2 and 3, your speed should win a lot of fiber out there
*
thanks for your comments.

1. all fiber have minimum 12 months contract. i dont want contract.
2 confirmed covered
3. yeah. expensive. considering using cheap 5G phone or my old phones but 4G.

Which 5g phone cheapest? Should be cheaper than the router they recommend, if 1700 for router then too expensive already.

yeah. On Lazada and Shoppee, the modems they reccommend are about 1700. sweat.gif

Hmmm... Thanks for the thought.

Old phones. Risk that I am willing to take.
Plus will be in room with AC on at least 18 hours a day.

problem with whether 4g or 5g, you are dealing with burst data, i tested U mobile for 6 months, the stability is a joke, sometimes your connection can hang, page doesn't load, download fails, ip changes frequently. You better put it at the clearest with the least wall obstacle area, if not it will be slow. if no luck streaming also no syiok. your best bet to have 5g modem, if not buy a cheap 5g phone hook it to your old laptop or system unit. use that as modem and your wifi as your router. if you use those external modem be aware of provider every few days has some sort of refresh. suddenly no line, that few hours later there is line. U Mobile is actually worst than Yes5G
*
hmmm... sounds like issues with stability rather than dynamic IP.

But I get your concern. Thanks for sharing.

Quantum 5G modem H188 going for under RM700.

Unisoc IVY510 chipset.

Supports N1/N3/N8/N28/N41/N77/N78/N79 5G bands

Can try this one.


*
eerrmmm.....where to buy? can put the link here? i need to research.
Can't find it in Shopee or Lazada


but I need a standalone router connected to the modem to get the maximized speed? ........ maybe this is not a good choice

you have to be aware if you use those modem from shitpee or lapsapda, better generate imei and change frequently, service provider these days quick to ban
*
why have to do that?
for Umobile U Home 5G plan, the service is to be used with modems with wifi. I think you may have misunderstood with other companies which does not allow mobile plans with data to be on modems, have to be on phones only with hotspot.

The reason why 1TB quota was imposed is to prevent people like you running cyber cafes, porn downloading farms and illegal file hosting.

Most average working class bachelor/single users won't even hit 300GB despite streaming video every day, occasionally buy digital games and download apps.

Very affordable plan for moderate users especially if you're a bachelor living on your own and travels around Malaysia frequently so that you won't be tied down by contracts.

its not like I am supporting anyone but let him be la. He pay, he use to his liking. to each his own.

side note. nowadays, i feel like we users are subjected to the whims and likes of big corporations. to me, if want to give unlimited data, just do it properly. FUP and quota is just another way for them to squeeze money for users. If not true unlimited, just publish "terang terang", no need put fine prints in terms and conditions or FAQ, have to dig dig dig to find info.

If you ok with 4G hp, why not stick with 4G speed.. no need buy any extra device until u certain can help improve the signal and long term.
so far, i try using my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 as hotspot whenever we staying in vacation home .. normally staying there 2 or 3 nights hotspot always on.. so far ok jer.
Speed wise, manageable for my families and do some office work
but in highland lar and put at near balcony
*
yeah. that is currently my plan. Gonna put into my old phones and try. iphone 7 plus and Huawei Mate 10 pro.
But researching alternative now so that if really need to go with other alternative, I already have a short list rather than doing research and rush then.
