I was getting average 60kbps after hitting the limit.

Yes. Valid for 3 days only.

I am wondering why maxis 3G speed is faster than UM in Melaka? Are the 2 not suppose to be same since UM is roaming on maxis line?

Your 3G signal seemed weak. Where were u when performing speed test?

I have a u mobile prepaid sim for standby / 2nd phone. I have credit but did not subscribe to any plan. Can I make call without subscribing to call plan? If yes, how's the call rate like?

Thanks.

I think it is better not to subscribe to any call plan if the line is just for standby as the commitment is only RM10 per month. Am I right?

There is hsdpa coverage at the few places that you mention. But sometimes not stable. Speed is about 1mbps to 2mbps.

Not too sure about throttled speed.

Buy prepaid SIM to try it out. Only cost you RM8 :-)

H and H+ are 3G. Nothing is wrong.

Yes they do have. 500mb for RM5.

I am in Melaka. Usual speed is about 1mbps to 2mbps. No sure what's your problem.

*118*3*1*3# for UMI 18, 28, 48
*118*2*3# for U broadband

Those are the ussd code to check Internet usage for prepaid.

R = roaming

Your are roaming on maxis line.

I thought you are in federal territory, coverage still bad?

Like all forumers always suggested, buy a prepaid sim and try out in your location. That will only cost you RM8.

Let me share my experience with um. I subscribed the post paid broadband package and signed up for auto debit via credit card on the same day.

UM did not charge my credit card for first 3 months but barred my line. I went to the service center for few times but was informed no payment required as it is under auto debit. I even wrote a few emails to its customer service but all no reply.

With all frustration I went back to the service center after my line was barred for 2 weeks. The staff asked me to pay cash to update the 3 months subscription. I did it and my line was free up. Later in the same month when I received my credit card statement I noticed that UM charged me a 3-month subscription fee.

With all payments made plus 3 months advance payment, I still received sms asking for payment on arrears.

So moral of story, stay away from UM if you can.
