Hi. Happy to report I subscribed to U Home 5G and using it with ZTE MU5120 without issue. I can get full bar signal from high floor condo. Average speed btw 200mb-400mb DL. Sometimes can get more than 500mb DL depends on time of the day. Which is more than enough for steaming content and work.

Been reading this topic and at first feel a bit overwhelming on the technical discussed here. So if anyone like me, hope this helps.

Hi. Need help. I’m currently using ZTE MU5120 with U Home 5G without any issue.

Yesterday bought a U Mobile prepaid sim and subscribed to the unlimited plan with unlimited hotpot. But when I put the sim inside the modem, it can’t connect. Does it mean for prepaid sim cannot use with modem? Only U Home 5G plan can?

However during activation and use the free 1GB data, it works (to try). After quota finished, and I subscribed to the unlimited plan, it doesn’t work anymore.

Please help.

well, prepaid unlimited plans are for phone usage only. umobile probably blocks unlimited plan usage if it detects that modem is used instead of phone.

Ah I see. Waste my money topping up and subscribe to the plan. I thought it will work same like the U Home 5G. I guess not. Thanks for the reply

U Mobile block prepaid sim card plan use with modem
U mobile sim card so advance one
With phone all good, put inside a few modem just show no sim card, or invalid sim card
The solutions is hotspot tethering with phone + RM5 unlimited hotspot

Does it apply to U mobile SIM card prepaid only or other telco as well?

tried umobile prepaid, yes prepaid, digi prepaid n maxis prepaid. all speed is the same. nearest active 5g tower is about 800 meters from my house, but in between my house to that tower there's a huge aeon mall. so my speed significantly reduced. can only get around 300 - 350 mbps only on 5g.

hyperbolic v9 antenna could easily at least double this speed, but very costly, rm300 - 400 with all the cabling included, maybe for future upgrade. for now I'll keep using yes as my main sim bec the cheapest rm25/month for unlimited speed + unlimited 5g data. no point using other telco as 5g speed is about the same everywhere.

attached is my signal (quite bad even though already place at the window. haha) & the speed I able to get around 300mbps. anyway just terminate my 800mbps maxis fibre contract this evening (rm232 monthly, with 6% tax). huge saving for me in the coming months. from rm232 to just rm25 monthly. hehe.
