Notes

General

• P2P is capped to 64Kbps on all plans
• Unlimited calls are not applicable to video calls, MMS, International Direct Dial (IDD), International Roaming, Voicemail (1311) or calls to special numbers/premium numbers (e.g.: 1300 / 1500 / 1508 / 1600 / 1700 / 1900 / 103, 800 & 15999), 02-prefix numbers for border calls to Singapore and 080-prefix numbers for border calls to Brunei.
• (Our personal theory) U Mobile system determines which data bucket to use based on which tower you are connected to. If the tower’s TAC (tracking area code) is not from Labuan/Sabah/Sarawak, the Peninsular Malaysia quota is used. If the tower’s TAC is from Labuan/Sabah/Sarawak, Borneo quota is used instead.

Prepaid

Maxis Home WiFi 138/158 plan details

Maxis Home WiFi 138/158 is a FWA (fixed wireless access) postpaid plan, which uses Maxis 4G/5G towers to provide internet access.

Note: I do personally still recommend you guys to subscribe to fixed fibre broadband when possible, 4G/5G & satellite (like Starlink) can get congested when too many user connected unlike fixed fibre broadband (limited user per distribution port). What I meant by “possible” is: service availability/financial situation/can finish contract period.

Pricing

• Home WiFi 138 (SIM only): RM138/month + tax
• Home WiFi 158 (SIM + modem): RM158/month + tax

Advance payment of 1 month (Home WiFi 138) or 3 months (Home WiFi 158) of subscription is required. Foreigners (non-Malaysians) are required to pay RM300 deposit on top of advance payment.

Contract

• Home WiFi 138: none

Quota is unlimited but Maxis can (at its discretion) cap streaming speeds to SD speeds & regular browsing speeds after 300GB (Home WiFi 138 only) or 500GB (Home WiFi 158 only) is used in a bill cycle.

Included modem

Home WiFi 138: (optional) unspecified 4G only modem for additional RM1/month (comes with 12 months/1 year contract)

Home WiFi 158: Most likely ZTE MC801A branded as “Maxis 5G router” based on picture on Maxis website. You can view its LTE/5G capabilities here on cacombos. You are required to take the modem even if you didn’t want it.

• Included SIM card on both plans can be used with any capable modem. Note that the modem needs to support LTE B28 + 5G n78 to access 5G (Home WiFi 158 only).

Unifi Mobile Uni5G Postpaid 89 Unlimited plan details

For unifi/webe legacy postpaid unlimited plan, click here.

Pricing/contract

RM89 per month + tax

No contract if you take just the plan. If you take a phone bundle with this plan, the contract would be 2 years.

Credit limit is set to RM320 per line, which can be changed.

Speed/quota

Uncapped (best effort basis) with unlimited data on 4G LTE & 5G NR networks.

FUP

This plan is rumoured to have almost similar FUP limit as the old webe/unifi postpaid unlimited plan.

• 999GB FUP, 512Kbps(?) thereafter
• Tiered speed cap based on how much data is used

Unifi did also mention in their FAQ about usage in non-5G NR capable devices which is capped at 5GB/month. However I would personally assume you can SAFELY IGNORE THIS as it is considered as an archaic term. The rule exists all the way from 2016 webe era, which at that time 5GB cap is for 3G usage.

10GB/month, included with the plan. You can add extra 10GB hotspot for RM30/month (plus tax).

Tips

• Dial *#*#SAmode#*#* (*#*#726633#*#*) to enable 5G Standalone toggle regardless of support by your carrier/telco. The toggle can then be found in Settings app > SIM cards & mobile networks > Advanced settings > SA mode.
• If you want to use this phone in USA, be wary that only T-Mobile is supported. AT&T and Verizon(?) enforces device whitelisting which this phone isn’t included in their whitelisting.
• Furthermore, this phone lacks LTE/NR band 71, which T-Mobile widely uses. 5GUC (might be) supported on n41, not tested.
