U Mobile is throwing a special promo for 1 week where they are offering 6 months subscription of MB68 and a Free USB Modem for only RM254. That’s a 50% off from its actual value whereby the MB68 broadband plan with 5GB data is usually charged at RM68/month and the modem’s purported value of RM100. This is a pretty good deal which calculates to only RM42.30/month.
To grab this offer, head over to U Mobile’s Like the Deals App. You will be asked to like their fan page and accept a couple of permissions. The device and SIM is collectable from selected U Mobile service centres. Before signing up, make sure your area is covered with their coverage map.

The highly anticipated iPhone 4S was launched in Malaysia with the 3 big telcos offering iPhone 4S contract plans. While the plans offer all round bundles of text, sms and data, some people out there aren’t too keen with the contracted offers.
With Apple Online Store also offering the iPhone 4S outright from RM2199, consumers now have the freedom to choose other plans that suit their needs. It is also worth pointing out that the Apple Store is selling the 32GB and 64GB versions at a lower price compared to the listed RRP from the telcos.
Read on to find out other plan alternatives & ownership costs from DiGi, Maxis & even U Mobile.

UPDATE: Expected pricing for the Bold 9790 revealed here.
UPDATE: IMCC reveals Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Pricing at RM1,699.
U Mobile has started registration of interest for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, Samsung Galaxy W and the BlackBerry Bold 9790. According to the details the registration of interest will run until 1st December and those that registered will be informed about their collection after 5th December.
Plans and pricing are not revealed yet but it is likely to be bundled on their new postpaid plans. Recently U Mobile has been aggressive in the device game with the latest gadgets offering. In fact, they are more active than Maxis which has been very quiet lately in terms of smart phone bundling.
For the BlackBerry Bold 9790, U Mobile is throwing FREE BlackBerry car charger, leather pocket and Jabra bluetooth headset worth over RM250 for the first 100 subscribers.
Head over to U Mobile to register your interest for the Tab 7.0 Plus or Bold 9790. It is strange that they need to offer a registration of interest for Galaxy W which is already available through IMCC.

Update: U Mobile has put up an FAQ page to answers some questions that subscribers may have with regards to claiming their free data and SMS. Link to the FAQ page here.
In apology to the nationwide network outage suffered by U Mobile recently, the operator is offering free mobile data and SMS to all its subscribers.
Specifically, all prepaid and post-paid U Mobile subscribers will get free SMS to all local operators all day on 10 November, 10 December, and 10 January 2012. In addition, U Mobile’s monthly data package subscribers will receive free 500MB monthly from 10 November to the end of January 2012.
U Mobile is certainly doing a commendable job in making amends to ts subscribers for the network outage but it goes without saying that operators rarely get a second chance when it comes to things like this. While this is not the first network outage suffered by the operator, let’s hope Dr. Heerjee will make this the last.
