U may want to try out the daily unlimited first. As of now, celcom bb service is crippled wif lots of problems. Head over to:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/946112

Prepaid or postpaid wise, both using same network. Read all about it.

yep..its called prepaid data plan... starter pack price rm25...preloaded wif rm20....can subscribe to daily rm6 and weekly rm20... not auto subscription..u want u subscribe... dunno can make call or not..their cs didnt mention anything..forgot to ask oso..

can use existing sim card no need buy new one.

For existing Celcom Prepaid user the option to subscribe to Weekly Broadband already available if you dial *118#.
Anyone dare to try?

We need to buy the modem ourselves right?

can use 3G modem or 3G phone.

no need trial coz the speed is same with d68.

If it's the same speed with D68, then it's quite reasonable for RM20 a week because in total u are paying RM80 if u used it for 4 weeks. Good package and I am going to try it if someday in the future my internet broke down haha.

omg..celcom bb is the worst.... they r too selfish..always want to acquire new cust w/o improving their service...

hello..guys,
im new here n rite now i have subscribed to celcom broadband weekly..
its quite good i think..
i use my phone as a modem..

so what speed 384Kbps or 3.6Mbps ?

Edit, speed is 384Kbps anyone getting higher than this ?

3.6Mbps i think..
sori..really noob..but i subscribe using *118#
it didnt explain about the speed..
the speed is the same with the broadband daily if i've not mistaken...

Then it is 384kbps as expected. They wont be giving faster speed 3.6Mbps. Or they lose profit. Still profitable but less...

last time during rm8/day is hsdpa speed.

is nice v the weekly celcom broadband plan rm20,i do subscribe on sunday.will end on 29/3/09.
so far is good .
i need advice on getting bigger screen phone v 3.5g enable.my budget is below rm 1200

Is the RM25.00 pack reloadable, and is there an expiry date for usage and reload upon first use?

It sounds very much like a Celcom XPax thing. Buy a pack for RM10.00 and it has a credit of RM5.00. Load it up, and you can use it for broadband for RM6.00 a day. Supports voice and SMS as well, and gotta reload every 30 days to keep it alive.

Difference is with XPax prepaid there is no RM20.00 deal for 7 days' use, and upon the expiry of 24 hours the charge goes by volume.

Do u need to register to get the starter pack for the prepaid broadband??
Does it come with SIMCARD??
How do you reload it?

Thanx

you are wrong here

i can vouch(actually tested) that Prepaid and Postpaid(Pay as You Use) using different network...

i know coz i tested it before..

bro...mind helping answering my questions?

ofcoz it come wif sim card but im not sure whether we nid 2 register 1st or not...da reload wil b same as xpax starter pack i guess...

can anyone help me verify, if we need to register or not?
this SIM is just for data services? cannot make voice calls?

im workin on it..i try 2 cal celcom careline...but no cal can be made...dunno y myb bcoz they might bz rite now or da line is 2 congested....

Added on March 25, 2009, 8:41 pmok...i cal celcom careline juz now...she said no nid 2 register...as i said it come wif a sim card, n u can reload using xpax reload card. no sms or cal can be made using diz prepaid plan xcept 4 reloading n callin careline number...

Thanx buddy...appreciated.

if starter pack not registered, the seller never ask i.c, then how celcom know who use what sim ?

i using this plan to connect to internet at my laptop .
the description is Nokia Gsm Phone USM modem(OTA) .and my speed is 460.8Kbps.I want to confirm that is the Gsm service under the charge of my celcom weekly broadband .i very scare the connection is another usage .

GENERATION BLACKLIST [GB-X]

is diz related 2 our topic?

anyway...any 1 tried diz?

http://10.123.2.21:8080/ReportClient/

anybody can check current usage on9 using celcom prepaid bb?

You need 128kb 3G Simcard to use Celcom BB service, so you will need to go down to their service center to register to get the 3G sim card. It support voice call as well, unless you specifically wanted one for data only.

This post has been edited by strydermurder: Mar 28 2009, 05:35 AM

anybody using weekly unlimited.

could u test download 100mb from free hosting ? download smooth until finish or halfway with error like daily unlimited ?

if u purchase celcom bb prepaid u dun nid 2 register...if u purchase xpax, UOX or celcom blue than u nid 2 register...

dun test rite now...celcom bb daily/weekly unlimited got prob...they said they wil finish fixing al da prob by 2morrow...so by 2morrow u can start yr test on celcom bb.... gud luck...

has a question here...
are they throttle the usage when using the broadband prepaid?

yup 4 daily unlimited u wil b throttled once u reach 1GB...but 4 weekly unlimited there is stil not clear wht is de allocated volume given...

late update from celcom official website. when they launch the weekly unlimited,also no info until 2day later ooooo

In just bought the celcom D68 plus USB stick modem. no contract. Now only I realise that I can actually save money fr the modem and buy a 3g phone. And i know that there's a 7 days return policy. The question is, can i return the modem and service within 7 days? Usually, wat will they ask for the reasons? Have anyone tried this before?
Thanks...

another question to anybody who knows... i have this one too... let say 3 month down the road i wanna upgrade to d98... can aa? the reseller says not sure then i ask him to call ppl working in celcom they say CAN but need to go to celcom center

yes you can, but need to go to celcom center

my father use celcom
me maxis...
can i use my father no. to subscribe??

yes, you can but must bring your father along to celcom center..

Another question here. How do u execute the termination of 7 days satisfaction guarantee? What reasons or procedures should i give and follow?

if you got it with the modem, be sure to carefully unpack it, keep the box and all the item in it, bring the simcard, registration slip and the modem where you had registered

i'm planing to get this prepaid next month, anyone knows the limit download able for prepaid? for D68 n D98 is 5GB per-month right?

thanks

for daily bb = 1Gb

for weekly = 2Gb ( but till now no FUP has been implemented yet, as for the last 3 weeks ) last week alone i download almost 10 Gb

i did try the daily pkage with my oux simcard...using nokia 5700 as the modem... firstly, my speed was 460800bps... i setting my modem, i got 921600bps... tgk youtube, no delay...

try watching youtube between 8pm till midnight... sure sangkut punyer hehehe

..how much u have to reload if u download until 10GB?

just rm20 for a week, that's it.....

Where can we get the starter pack?
And how do we configure a laptop to connect to the internet using a 3g phone?

Thanks.

most of handphones shop got it, blue cube store or celcom centre

configuration depends on what hp do you have

Hear that you got use UNlimited Gateway (rm299), is that thing really can download wtihout limit ?

yes, almost reach 50Gb now, mostly movies that i downloaded.. at average speed 250 kB/s

Well, yesterday i finally got myself the Celcom Broadband Prepaid.

Currently on edge unlimited (my digi postpaid line and often on Celcom PowerTools Broadband - Corporate User)

Bought em at Sg.Wang Celcom Blue Cube Counter on Ground Floor, since most hp shops nearby my place didnt have on.

I should have got the Xpac, at least i could send sms. lol.

Anyway,

at Taman Maluri

speed around 350-390kbps
(using speednet test : it seems that as if the speed can go higher, actually, the meter trying to go above 384kbps but cant..lol , Celcom throttle it to 3G speed)

Latency - 137ms (penang server) 250ms (Kl Server) 500-600+ (Singopore Server)

All this was done yesterday around 8.00pm and 9,00pm+

Online game? I played my l4d online (FPS with 8 other persons).. i ve got 130-250ms. (which is typical for P1, Celcom Broadband and Maxis :wireless - using edge i would have 1200-1500+ which is not playable) Now mind you, to those who havent used to using wireless, this is normal characteristics ping. Those gained around below 100, are normally using wired broadband.
No lagging, and most important is, no interrupted connection.

There was once, when i joined, i got a lag spike of 1400+, but then again in few seconds, it slowly went down back to 1000, 700, 500, 300 and finally 200+.

Well for 200+ is okay since i am on 3g speed. 100+ maybe for 3.5g. As long i am not lagging.

You tube - one youtube was quite fast. Try using with my steam account watching game trailer. Good too.

Well. Overall. 1.2 hours of gaming Left4Dead and later download 6 youtubes Kamen Rider Kabuto simultaneously (err mybrother watching this.. each youtube around 8minutes, but wasnt sure how long did it take since i was already tidurr..zzz)
The whole processes consume 64mb.


Since, i am not into heavy torrenting, i dont mind all these facts. Well, for those heavy on torrenting, so far, the only option is streamyx or Amax wifi which has no FUP and allocated data amount. Not sure about the speed though. Will surely see how things are going in few days more.

I just bought this celcom prepaid broadband last Tuesday. Last time i was digi edge daily rm6 user. I subscribe the rm20 weekly. So far my speed is up to 384kbps, sometimes can reach 390kbps. Downld speed average 46kb/s. Highest can get 50kb/s. At the moment Ive downlded about 2gb. My area is at Jalan Santubong outskirt Kuching town. My house is just 500m from the network transmission pole. So far so good.

i hav a Xpax normal sim
can i juz topup till more than rm20 and subscribe to weekly unlimited broadband?
normal sim is 64k sim rite?
can this sim support weekly unlimited broadband?

need 3g sim 128k like rm10 to change the simcard, you have to wait untill your weekly expired then aplly new, cant pay lamsum like that... if want to use for 2 weeks

usually in 24 your weekly bb expired celcom will sms, whether you want to continue or not, if want just reply yes, else just leave it untill its expires.

walaueh! sure you sanggup spend almost rm300 per month for that downloading purposes

although my estimated daily GB of bandwidth (if not being capped at all) is about 5-8GB.
that's only involving direct downloads of scene releases

the rm299 pakage is for family use, everybody in the house, my wife, son etc...

Estimated need roughly 250GB download quotation for me

so meaning my prepaid sim must be a 3G sim, the validity of the sim ( active period ) must also be more than 7 days and credit also must be more than rm21 in order for me to subscribe weekly bb via *118#

and usually how long will it takes for the application/request be approved?

thanks

on the spot! approved. confirmation via sms.

ok laa, if all share bayar punya.

me, besides my sister only use those internet. too bad my sister still unemployed & nobody going to help me to upgrade in the meantime

guess we just wait for the better economy or 2-3 years to have telephone line installed in our area, suddenly i feel like missing streamyx big time

i'm new user of prepaid......i think its depend on coverage....

agreed..

well for the last 4 days (thursday to today).. everything is running fine. still getting my 380-410kbps speed. upload of 80-110kbps.
ping for l4d and tf2 : around 220-300+ on average.. which is okay.

except for yesterday (saturday's night, ping was really bad, though surfing was fast but playing l4d and tf2, i was getting 500-1000+).. but not all night though.. probably due to saturday,

Funny thing is, i am getting a more stable connection on prepaid broadband than my advance broadband plan of 3.6mbps.

So, using celcom xpax or celcom blue : we can still subscribe for the weekly service by *118# right? frankly, i dont think i ll be over the 2gb of weekly allocated quota, hence, this will do fine for now.

One question : let say, if i am subscribing for one whole month. rm20x 4weeks, is it going to be equal as = 2gb x 4weeks? if so, that looks good to me, better than the 5gb then.

I thought of getting xpac and subscribe the weekly service using it, coz at least, i can smses and make calls, but a bit afraid, i am not going to get a stable connection using xpac (maybe i am just having a paranoia since xpac, celcom blue and celcom prepaid broadband are all using the same bandwith or apn right? at least topping my xpac frequently for my weekly broadband will entitle me to some bonus.. haha..)

is there any difference with the simcard?...like i'm hearing that there are many type 3g, 3.5g, 3gx......so if use normal prepaid sim or proper sim prepaid bb that i bought, it mention 3g at that sim while normal sim no...so is there any difference?.....cause i used xpax *118# it mention celcm bb subcribe...i did't try n prefer pre bb sim...

long time not posting here...im back...hehe...yeah u nid 2 hav an USIM...USIM can detect 3G n HSDPA (3.5G) networks...

yeah, long time not seeing you, went flying ka?

just wan to ask issit if i using my celcom3g sim to online, then call cannot get it anymore and the one who called will get engage tone?

heheh...im over da c...cannot on9 la costly even sms RM0.35-RM2 depends on telco...huh...anyway how about celcom bb weekly unlimited FUP? already announced?

if you using phone, call still can get thru even you still download something. so does the modem that can receive and make call

When I subscribed to the Celcom Weekly prepaid plan using my Celcom Blue sim card in my Sierra Wireless Modem, the only website I can assess is this page:



Has any one been hit with the same problem? Please help.. I've ord paid RM20 for the whole week, and I haven't been able to download anything yet!
Pls HELP!!

this is da common prob wif celcom broadband prepaid ...go lodge a report 2 them...ask 4 refund if da problem occurred frequently..
