U Mobile's promises fulfilled

31 Oct 2011, 11 AM onwards: U Mobile customers were disappointed by an unexpected nationwide outage that lasted almost five to six hours. Their Facebook and Twitter pages were bombarded with countless questions, disappointed complaints, unhappy remarks, etc.

31 Oct 2011, 11:47 PM: U Mobile posted a video on their Facebook page - U Mobile CEO apologises for service interruption on 31 Oct.

02 Nov 2011, 7:17 PM: U Mobile posted an explanation on their Facebook page. In summary, the outage was caused by an unexpected glitch during the upgrading of their high speed network.

04 Nov 2011, 10:56 PM: I received an SMS from U Mobile with the same content as per their Facebook status posted on 02 Nov. Screenshot below.

09 Nov 2011, 2:47 PM: I received another SMS from U Mobile - For monthly data package users, you will receive an additional FREE 500MB a month, starting from 10 Nov 2011 until 31 Jan 2012. Screenshot below.

09 Nov 2011, 4:15 PM: I received another SMS from U Mobile - As promised, enjoy FREE local SMS to all Telco on 10 Nov. Screenshot below.

09 Nov 2011: The FREE SMS and data reminder was also communicated on their Facebook page.

10 Nov 2011, 7:41 AM: I received an SMS notification that U Mobile has added 500MB to my data plan gradually this morning.

Good stuff I suppose.

U Mobile - U58 Postpaid Plan

Last Saturday 3PM, my MNP request from DiGi to U Mobile was completed.

After almost 8 years with the yellow telco, I decided to change to the orange telco because U Mobile's "the other postpaid plan" is considerably cheap and worth a spent!

Table from here.

I switched from DG30 postpaid plan + IU68 (totaled up to RM98++ per month including 3GB data) to U58 postpaid plan (inclusive of 2GB data and FREE 200 minutes voice call from U Mobile to other operators per month).

FAQs here.

I personally don't think I can spend more than 200 minutes worth of voice call per month. I just need to spend on SMS (i.e. 12sen/SMS to other operators) and make sure I don't use more than 2GB of data per month. No extra charges after exceeding data limit but speed will be throttled to 128kbps.

So, I can expect my monthly phone + mobile internet bill to be not more than RM65 per month.

******************************

Early this morning, I encounter a hiccup with my line. Around 12:17AM, the signal shows MY CELCOM and I have zero signal till 8:10AM when it finally shows UMOBILE3G. I almost call up their customer care line to request for assistance.

******************************

So far so good at the moment. Let's see how long will I stay with this telco. :)
