Following the launch of the MaxisONE World plan, U Mobile has come up with their very own solution that allows you to bring your local postpaid data plan with you on your travels overseas and it’s a doozy.
Dubbed the Data Backpack, U Mobile’s new data roaming solution lets you bring your local data allocation with you to 12 countries namely:
As long as you’re on either a P70, i90, i130, UD95 or UD135 plan, you will be eligible for this free upgrade. There are two ways to activate this plan: If you’re an existing U Mobile customer (more than 6 months), you can simply call them at 1318 and they will sort you out.
On the other hand, if you’re a new customer (less than 6 months), you will first have to activate auto debit for bill payments, then call U Mobile at 1318 to get your roaming plan sorted. Alternatively, port-in customers can also walk-in with their past 2 months’ bill, one month of which must indicate international roaming usage.
If you happen to run out of quota, you can continue surfing at managed speeds. Alternatively, you can pick up U Mobile’s Booster Plan via the MyUMobile app which gives you 1.5GB of quota valid for 3 days for RM10.
This is a pretty interesting move by U Mobile which should ease user’s data roaming when travelling. Allowing you to use your local data plan overseas without having to pay extra is a pretty good deal. The only complication is that you have to be connected to specific roaming operators to be able to benefit from this deal. The good news is that U Mobile has step-by-step guides on how to select a preferred roaming operator for Android, iOS, Windows, BB10 and BB OS7 platforms on their website.
