News & Reviews:   U Mobile Data Backpack

Just in case you missed it, Celcom announced their latest roaming plan called the WONDEROAM last week and while the benefits and fare seem attractive, you might have wondered which Telco offers the best roaming deal. In this comparison article, we will be taking a look at Malaysia's four Telco's roaming plans and see which one is the best. So who came up on top? Read below to find out.

This week, the much teased HTC 10 was officially launched and while there is still no Malaysian release date or pricing details, the value-beating ViVo V3Max made its Malaysian debut with 4GB of RAM, a fingerprint reader and more for just RM1399. Other notable Malaysia releases include the Canon EOS 1D X Mark II and a new line-up of Sony BRAVIA 4K HDR TVs. Not released for Malaysia but still officially announced was the Meizu Pro 6.

On the Telco Front, quite a few big names started up new battles like Celcom's new 18GB of Internet FIRST Platinum postpaid plan, Digi's RM80 for 10GB Internet update and U Mobile's roaming backpack. Celcom also announced their new Wonderoam roaming plan along with an extension of their FIRST Gold plan. Maxis also stayed true to their word with an update for their SurfMore 50 customers while overhyped WeBe just turned out to be a rebrand of P1, minus any concrete details or plans.

Just only a few days ago U Mobile introduced their U Data Roam plan for frequent travelers. Now they give us another bunch of roaming deals, but this time, it is for their subscriber of Hero P70, i90, i130, UD95 and UD135 postpaid plans. With the U Mobile Data Backpack you will be able to use roaming for free in 12 countries, at the expense of your current data plan with no extra charges. You can refer to the table below for the list of the country and the preferred roaming operator of the country that you might travel to.
