Number Porting from Hotlink to U Mobile

For the last one year I have been using Maxis Hotlink prepaid mobile service. Since then I had to recharge every time my mobile to keep it in active mode. When a amount 5RM is top up I get a validity for a week even though I have enough credit left the account gets suspended. Being not a heavy user I don't make GSM calls that often but use other means like Viber and Whatsapp for communication. Also the price of internet for a day is 2RM for 100MB and for a week it was 8RM.





I came to know thru a friend +Dhanish Athif that U Mobile is offering prepaid packages with unlimited internet and double the validity period. Thus I got attracted to this and started with my home work.

First I had to check if my present number was under my name even though I bought it from a Maxis counter. But when checked the number was under someone else. After visiting Maxis Center I was able to change it to my name but the agent again did a mistake by typing my passport number wrong which later created the delay. Again this was rectified by them.

I visited the U Mobile Center at Times Square and checked on the porting, the lady asked to fill a form and completed the paper formalities and gave me a SIM card asking me to replace when the present hotlink sim gets deactivated. I received my welcome SMS from U mobile but later next day I received another SMS from them saying the porting has been rejected by my present operator. I checked for the reason and came to know it was the passport number not matching issue. But later maxis fixing it, I went to U Mobile desk at Midvalley and asked the same and the gentleman removed the existing request from the system and re-requested. As soon as I came out of the shop I received the welcome sms.

The next morning around 1000 i received another SMS saying that porting was successful and I can start using my new sim in 2 hours time from that. Also received another sms from Maxis for thanking for being with them.

Now its been few days since I am on U Mobile network, so far it good for me.

Porting requested on 12 March 2013 at 18:20hrs and porting activated by 13 March 2013 at 10:20hrs

My trip to Colmar Hills in Bukit Tinggi..

Malaysia


On 3rd January 2013 I had visited one of the most beautiful places for photography in Malaysia. I traveled from Kuala Lumpur on a hired mini bus from an agent in Shah Alam. The trip was planned as a one day trip. We departed KL around 11:30hrs in the morning and reach French City (Colmar Hills) around 13:00hrs without much traffic.






French City:

The first place to be visited was French City. This place was awesome and one of my first sightings of such a place. The weather was beautiful with a cold wind blowing. Around this 15th Century concept french city it was total green and also we could sight the Berjaya Hotels Gold course from the top tower inside the castle.
Castle has a beautiful lake which had couple of white swans swimming on their own speed and world.





This castle had coffee shops to hotels inside along with water fountains in the mid road. A camera is a must to have...

  • Place: French City - Bukkit Tinggi
  • Transport - Mini Bus 
  • Price - 450RM (return trip)
  • Duration - One day trip
  • Mobile Connectivity - No 3G Maxis
  • Entrance Fee - Charged at the entrance check post
Japanese Village:

After visiting french city we took a (free) shuttle service from bus stop outside French city to Japanese garden. To reach the garden we had to climb number to stairs and the road is also quite sloppy. If you are with children should be extra careful as one side of the road leads to off the hill.

The garden consists of Japanese style houses and small waterfalls with fishes and small bridges and stones around. The places consists of quite old and huge trees which gives the place an extra cooling.
