Duh.. I'm annoyed with 018. Just now I made a call to my wife, talk for less than 1 minute, the signal gone off. Then I call back a minute later and we talked for 3 minutes, my call dropped. I tried to call again and failed. 018 center send a few sms to me, "You have insuficient fund to make more call. Please recharge". I checked my balance, still got RM8.xx and that's not enough to make a call? Wtf?! I'm getting pissed. As soon as the credit finish, I'll throw away the sim!

Sometimes i trying to call 018 number from my Celcom, quite hard to get thru.
Don't know how come like this, because they're using Celcom's network right?
Always heard the "service unavailable" tone.

I agree with this, especially for prepaid. Even it is per sec billing, the call rate is about 0.8sen/sec which round up to approx 1 sen 1 sec. That's 48sen/min compared to 36 or 33 sen for other telco. Let's say you make a short call about 15-30 sec, i don't see that much savings, unless you do make a lot of calls that are shorter than 5 secs.

The only bonus i see worth noticing is the 1 hr free call daily to other 018 numbers.

for maxis it's still 48sen a minute UNLESS you top up rm30 it'll be 33cents now?

double checked with the hotlink website. it's 49 sen to other networks, 36 to maxis. wow, i think i did miss that one out, not knowing maxis is that expensive. coz maxis now charge in 60 sec block, means a less than 5 sec call can be 49 sen straight. but i guess if u're a regular user which reload every month, you'll get the 33 sen.

however i'm still not convienced that per sec billing will save you $$$, since it's call rate is actually 48sen/min. it still depends on your call pattern. if u mobile can give 33sen/min & per sec call rate, then it's definitely saving.

anyone see or own the umobile SOU phone already? just saw it in the papers today. is it nice?

I don't think so... they have not launch their services in Penang yet... next year perhaps...

Another thing, if I'm not mistaken, is that you can only pay your Postpaid bill in Berjaya Times Square in KL...
If you're in another state, u probably need to mail in the money... sweat.gif

Quite a dumb approach, if u dun mind me saying...

I think you can get the Prepaid in 7-11 laugh.gif

Has the line been registered by your friend? If not, you have to get it registered and the line will be activated within 24 hours once the registration form has been received and finalized. U-mobile is using Celcom's coverage as far as I know. Top-ups so far I heard it's only available at 7-Eleven outlets and the Umobile centers.

From my own opinion, Umobile is not really a good and reliable line to use for long term. The service is bad especially making calls shakehead.gif

U mobile suck big time man.

I went to IOI to subcribe for broadband service last 2 week ago and was given a Simcard and that it.
Saleman told me 3-4 days to activate. After 4th day I call hotline to enquire and was shock they told me
the number was registered to other person and was told to call back the saleman who sold me the card.
I call him and he apologise and blame umobile HQ for the mess up. He gave me another no and was told
to wait another 4-5 days. WTF! Nevermind i wait.... after 5 full day i call the saleman up and he told me they
already submitted. I make noise and then they gave me another number this time. WTF again. I call umobile
and they say is all the dealer fault. Nothing to do with them. Really WTF with umobile.

Today I finally call the saleman and was told it was activated. But WTF... I can't get thru umobile hotline at all
to do setting for my phone to connect to 3.5G network. Waited 30 minute listening to voice message and music
I finally hangup. Call again and same thing. This will be my first and last experience with umobile until they
buckup. The people answering the hotline is also not well manner and unhelpful. shakehead.gif

Btw... anyone has setting for umobile broadband 3G network? Can share with me?
I am using HTC 3600i. notworthy.gif

I agree on that statement about the Umobile CS. It's really terrible. They should buck up. Besides that time when I was having problem calling and after being able to call, I was charge a couple of buck calling another 018 number when it is supposed to be free. I asked the CS operator and she even dare to tell me I wasn't charge. When I asked her again how come my credit shows me a lesser balance than before I made the call she couldn't even answer. Besides that, I also inquired and confirm about the free calls to all 018 number dateline, that same operator can tell me something which contradicts with the information in the webpage...

I made a mistake getting this SIM pack even though it's free SIM pack and regret getting this SIM pack doh.gif

when you use u-mobile on celcom network (when you put it into a non 3g phone) quite often you will get the network busy signal. very hard to make calls, gotta try like up to 4-5 attempts only can go through.

however i never experience this before using a celcom sim at the same location. i wonder if there's actually a limit on how much u-mobile can use celcom 2g network.
