News & Reviews:   Umobile

The Communications and Digital Ministry (KKD) has announced that it is currently in discussions with telco companies in Malaysia to cut down the prices of their services. Its Minister, Fahmi Fadzil revealed that he had asked the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the telcos to conduct a study to fulfil the people’s aspiration for cheaper telco services.

Here are two things that sucks: Being broke and running out of data. If this is you on a daily basis, don’t worry, we feel you. And so does Umobile. With their newly launched Unlimited Funz prepaid pack you can unlimited data for your gaming, social media and messaging apps.

Earlier today, telco companies such as Celcom, Maxis, U Mobile, DiGi and more have showcased their 5G solutions in Putrajaya earlier today. At the test bed, many of the telcos gave a brief introduction to the 5G technology as well as the benefits that this new network will bring such as higher bandwidth with speeds of up to or even more than 1.6Gbps, lower latency, greater stability, better reception in a crowded area and so on. The network has also been used to conduct a remote brain surgery, in which the surgeon and the patient were more than 3000km apart.

If your calls and data service with your telco is spotty these days – don’t be too alarmed. It is mainly due to the current exercise of spectrum re-allocation between the major telecommunications companies in Malaysia. The telcos involved are Maxis, Celcom and Digi.

Is something “galactic” something that interests you? If yes, head on to Maxis right now as they are opening registration of interest for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 7 before it is officially launched in Malaysia.
