Frequently asked questions
How much does the ULTRA Tourist Plan cost?+
Prices start at MYR 6, and larger bundles sit above that for longer stays, all running at unlimited speed with hotspot sharing included. The fair use policy applies to every bundle: peer to peer sharing is throttled, data outside hotspot works on smartphones rather than a MiFi or USB dongle, and hotspot traffic comes out of the plan quota.
Which countries does the plan cover?+
Coverage is 1 country, Malaysia, carried on U Mobile 4G/5G and ULTRA5G. The plan is listed as local, so it is built for time in Malaysia rather than for moving between countries. If your route crosses a border, you would need a different plan for those days.
Can I use it for hotspot sharing?+
Hotspot sharing is included and appears in 5g, hotspot and instant activation. The catch is that hotspot traffic draws on the same plan quota, so a day of tethering eats into the bundle you bought. Peer to peer sharing is also throttled under the fair use policy.
Is the data unlimited?+
Unlimited data is not part of this plan, so every session runs against a bundle. Speed holds while you stay inside the allowance, but peer to peer sharing is capped and non-hotspot data is limited to smartphones. Anything unused is forfeited when the plan expires or renews.
Who is the plan built for?+
The audience is short trip, and the plan is sold as carrier by U Mobile Sdn Bhd. That suits a visitor who wants data in Malaysia without a roam agreement, and top-ups are available if the stay outlasts the bundle.
How do I get help?+
Support runs on phone and help centre only, so a phone call or the help centre are the routes listed for this plan. If you would rather send a message, weigh that before you buy, since the channels on offer are limited to a call and the help centre.
What is the activation and network like?+
The feature list, 5g, hotspot and instant activation, carries the newest mobile generation, hotspot sharing and instant activation, and traffic runs on U Mobile 4G/5G and ULTRA5G. You are not throttled for staying inside the bundle, so the allowance is the thing to watch rather than a slow-down at busy times.
How long do the bundles last?+
Bundles come in a daily, a weekly and a monthly version, and the monthly one renews on its own until you stop it. Unused data does not roll over, so whatever is left is forfeited when the plan expires or renews. Prices start at MYR 6 across the range.
