    I have purchased the roam like home plan. It shows on my dashboard. But i have tried activating it by turning on data and Roaming to no avail. I've even tried setting my provider network to the ones listed for Indonesia. Please help!

    Hi RAVIPRAKASH RADHAKRISHNA, did you set your APN to yoodo and connected to our preferred Network Bharti there? If so there shouldn't be any problem as we have hundreds currently roaming in India.

    Please do get in touch with our agents via Live Chat (scroll down till you see the Live chat option). They'll be able to check and troubleshoot your account. Thanks :)

    Activated the roaming in taiwan. And it really weird when the sim card default connected to telco that provided the roaming to 3G only. Each time restart the phone, the telco is different. Had to restart the device so that yoodo sim card connected to 4G telco.

    Connect to FarEastTone. My experience, that connects to 4G. Manually select your network.

    Not working for both France and London. Paid RM20 in France total waste. Tried luck in London purchased RM20 still useless. Im so lucky that most of these 2 countries they have wifi at most places. But half of the time I was run ing around without internet connection. Chatting with live chat been changing person in charge. All i did was to explain to different person with the same question. Team explained to change to Yoodo in the settings but no luck. 1 word disappointed and Im changing back to my old carrier.
    Thanks yoodo making my life miserable overseas.

    Hi, so based on what mentioned by Yoodo Care, if i don't purchase roaming pass. I should still be able to receive SMS when I'm in Netherlands.

    Correct, you can only receive smses in Netherlands if you do not subscribe to a roaming pass. To send smses to Malaysia, make/receive calls to/from Malaysia, or use data you need to subscribe to a roaming pass.

    Hi EE MAY CHANG, if didn't purchase roaming (RLH) then can't use roaming. This is working forward cause we don't charge our customers for things they don't need (by auto subscribing them to anything and charging a huge amount for roaming). At Yoodo you'll only will be able to receive in-coming SMS while roaming if didn't purchase any RLH plan

    It's also on our FAQ: https://support.yoodo.com.my/hc/en-us/articles/115004831194-How-do-I-activate-International-Roaming-on-my-mobile-phone- 

    ------

    Hi Danny Sim Kuang Soon we do have Roam Like Home in France, ofcourse you have to purchase it and ensure your APN is set to yoodo to access the best roaming option in the country.

    Here's our FAQ on RLH itself : https://support.yoodo.com.my/hc/en-us/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=roam+like+home 

    For France, it's RM 20 p/day (24-hours) on Bouygues Telecom Network. Have a good trip!

    Hi Jeff, we don't mine being charge for answering call. As other telco prepaid plan we don't need to subscribe to anything. They only charge us if we answering the call. I thing this match with Yoodo policy. At least make this option available as we do not need the Day roaming pass. It seem like we being force to subscribe Day pass for roaming. will be very troublesome for us while abroad not able to answering call.

    I dont blame yodoo or anything. I was going back and forth with customer service to get it sorted but still not working. Yoodoo is awesome dont get me wrong just that its not working for me at overseas. Yodoo teams are awesome, they replied almost every of my inquiries. Guide through set up still not working. I guess its all about experienced.

    Hi EE MAY CHANG, receiving Calls while abroad are chargeable, different amount on different countries depending on network charges etc.

    RLH is practically that, infact we're not even charging for Calls received from Malaysia in the 53 countries covered by RLH. And when you do call back home, it's at local charges using your voice call quota, there's absolutely no one in the market offering something close to competitive as this. Depending on which country you're at, it's RM 10 or RM 20 p/day (24-hours) only.

    It very sad that my number cannot receive call at China? I work at oversea, I want receive call if someone call for urgent matter. I chooose Yoodo because it can deduct monthly automatically without terminate the line. But with just roaming to receive call, I need pay 6000% fee (480/8) to stay able receive call (min RM 8 for SMS n call, and roaming RM120/7days).
    Even I choose digi or Hotlink prepaid, I still can receive call if stay active and got balance. Now, it suck, I will change back to other service to stay connect.
