I think the reason they didn't ask you to sign up whatever Unifi Mobile postpaid 39 nonsense on the spot like what the TM agent did to
jacktiew is because you specifically mentioned Astro, which
jacktiew didn't (according to his post).
And then on the next day, which is after you've agreed to the SWU plan of 500Mbps RM90, another Unifi agent called you and tried upselling their Unifi postpaid 69 plan with a free phone to you. Whether you agree or not, it's okay, because "at least they've tried".
I think that's a very smart move of them. Imagine that they got to know that you "got an offer from Astro" (whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter) and then they make it mandatory for you to bundle it with their Unifi Postpaid plan upon accepting their SWU offer of 500Mbps RM90... If they do this to you, there's a higher chance that you might reject their SWU offer altogether because they require you to bundle with Unifi postpaid plan (although no contract) while Astro Fibre actually don't do such bundling mobile postpaid plan nonsense. They need to make it convincing that their retention offer is better than the other ISP first.
So that's their strategy that they want you to agree to stay on their service first, then only upsell you another different offer later, especially after you mentioned Astro to them.
Well played, TM

My opinion is the same as yours.
I went to TM Point.
1. First thing I told them , I wanna check my contract whether expired or not.
2. I provided my IC, verify thumbprint . Then the customer service ask why wanna check contract.
3. I told em straight that Astro called me and offered 90 bucks for 500mbps package. So I wanna jump ship.
4. She counter offer saying TM also has the same promotion now.
5. I had to ask whether got Disney Hotstar free or not, then only tell me need to check. ANd confirm ada.
However, unlike last time when I signed up for the first SWU package 3 years ago, they had to schedule appointment to give me a new router, this time punya SWU5.0 don't have free router but still kena 24 months contract. ANyhow I don't need the router, but for those who want that router, this is something to take note .
I think people who kena con to sign up for Unifi Mobile is those that never mention Astro's offer and straight away skip all the steps and demand 90 bucks for 500mbps. I did mine with the steps above, TM never mention anything about Unifi Mobile at all to me.
