i think, if they provide call fowarding service then it can lah.. not sure about u mobile.. but celcom only provide call fowarding service to their postpaid customer..

i noticed that, some people mis-understand that umobile is a celcom company.. that is not true.. umobile only use celcom gsm network. and they have to pay for it.

they signing an domestic roaming agreement with celcom since umobile doesnt have their own infrastructure.. so that their customer can enjoy celcom widest gsm coverage.

however, this agreement doesnt include 3g coverage.

so, dont ask 'can i use celcom topup to reload my umobile number' lol..

Umobile actually offer a very good deals..

- 1sec/block
- 20% free airtime for any reload
- Free call/sms within umobile network
- widest 2G coverage (because using Celcom network)

for me its great.. the only reason why im not take 018 number because i already got so many numbers..

1sec/block can save more $$$ actually.. i like this idea.

and 20% extra credit, very worthy to take it.. reload rm10 got rm2, reload rm30 got rm6.. very good deals.

plus other promotion such as free call and sms to all umobile number nationwide. eventhough its not unlimited, but still very good offer..

do u got such offer from hotlink?

their gsm coverage as good as celcom since their using celcom network, that also another good reason to choose umobile

but the problem is umobile still dont have customer base or market share, and they also dont have die hard fan yet like other telcos.

maybe you can try manual searching and choose MY CELCOM network.. actually it should automatically roaming into celcom network..

so far, none of my fren using umobile.. seriously i dont even meet anyone using umobile yet.. not even a single person.. is this company still alive?

last month i got new fren using 018, i thought she is the first person that i know using umobile, but i made a mistake.. she told me that her number is celcom line, her boyfren already port it to celcom few month ago..

u must understand the agreement between u mobile and celcom.. u mobile roam into celcom gsm network wherever they dont have coverage

and the problem is celcom only allow umobile user to use voice call and sms using their network.. celcom did not allow any data services (such as mms, and gprs) if im not mistaken..

u mobile also cannot offer lower call rates since they buy bundle airtime from celcom.. unless celcom sell their airtime at lower price. but thing will get better soon when umobile expand their coverage and not depend on celcom network anymore..

i think in order to success u mobile need to be different and unique.. maxis, celcom and digi are very well established company, with huge user base and complete infrastructure.. and with current penetration almost 100% there is no chance for u mobile to gain new customer unless stealing the maxis/celcom/digi customer..

maybe u mobile can use divide and conquer technic, such as focusing on certain local community by offering lowest call among them. i still remember when celcom introduce 'Celcom Zone' offering 28sen/min call at few kampung at my area few years ago lol.. Ringlet (cameron highland) and Bukit Tinggi are example of Celcom Zone at that time..

20 April 2009 – KT Freetel (KTF), South Korea's second-largest mobile operator, is to sell-off its 16.5 percent stake in Malaysian mobile operator, U Mobile, reports Bloomberg. Citing a KTF regulatory filing, the report said that KTF will sell its 62.6 million shares in the operator to U Mobile's majority shareholder, U Television, in a deal said to be worth at least US$100 million. The sale is deemed to be a move by KTF to avoid losses on its investment. KTF and Japanese partner operator NTT DoCoMo (a stakeholder in KTF) bought a 33 percent stake in U Mobile in December 2007 for US$200 million with the stake divided equally between the two firms.

Since launch in 2007, U Mobile - a specialist 3G operator - has struggled to compete with its larger competitors in Malaysia, reportedly attracting less than 200,000 subscribers by the end of last year. According to Wireless Intelligence data, the market is led by Maxis, which had 9.7 million mobile connections by year-end, followed by Celcom (8.7 million) and DiGi (7.1 million).

Umobile will going to bankrupt lol..

yes, but im sure after KTF, soon NTT DoCoMo also will sell their share in U mobile too.. KTF and NTT together have 33% share in umobile.

these company didn't confident anymore with umobile after seing a bad business performance in 2008.
