Hey guys. Im considering porting out from Umobile to Yes cuz been wanting the new Magic6 Pro. But kinda afraid to port becuz i usually use hotspot ALOT and 120GB wont cut it. Im planning to add fibre later. so should i? any pro n cons moving to yes from Umobile? Any input are appreciated. Thankss

Free 44GB data for 2 days for Raya. Redeem from 6-13 April 2024.

u can get yes flexi Boardband plan. unlimited 5g

If yes is good then the big four will introduce plans that match them..

The fact is, nobody cares as even the family of the company doesn't really use Yes

Note : speed tests are done using Samsung Galaxy M14 and Poco M4 5G.
Well, as Yes is giving out 44GB data, I am going to test out things for Yes on a 4G SIM and 5G SIM.

Photo 1 : 5G on a 5G enabled SIM (in this case, Yes Power 35)


Photo 2 : 5G speed test on a 4G only SIM, after manually switching from Prefer 5G to prefer 4G and again prefer 5G (which is the old Yes Prihatin Learn for home, activated the 44GB free data)

Photo 3: 4G speed test (plan same as photo 2)

Photo 4 : 4G speed test, but on 700MHz 5G band (plan same as photo 2)


My conclusion is it is indeed possible for a Yes 4G only SIM to connect to 5G, but this depends on the plan. The plan offered for the 4G Prihatin SIM doesn't come with 5G access (except for Pakej Perpaduan that is capped at 3Mbps), but it might be possible to connect to 700MHz network (anchor band for 5G) in a 5G device. RM15 for unlimited 4G only data on mobile devices (even at slow 7Mbps speed) can be hard to resist for some.

This is if you are using a 4G only SIM trying to connect to 5G. The connection to 5G will probably fail even when there are 5G networks. As you see, it is connected to LTE Band 28 (5G anchor band in Malaysia) but wasn't able to create a connection with 5G NR. Unless I try to switch from 5G preferred to 4G (asking it to connect to Yes own 4G network) and 5G preferred again, it can be a tedious process..

Of course, I never face this issue with a 5G Yes SIM.

Hi, I recently just able to get the RM5 discount for Yes prepaid.

Once I enable autopay and pay one time RM25, it will automatically renew monthly and charge RM25 to my CC?

another, question is , I once top up twice RM30 during testing to get RM5 discount, after that call to YES and get refund RM30 into my account. anyway able to use the RM30 to buy plan for other YES numbers?

I tried to look in the app but no luck. Any feedback are appreciated. TQVM.

1. If subscribe to auto-pay package, yes will auto charge to your CC during renew of plan cycle (same with yoodo)
Rm25 (30-5)
2. No this doesn't work during top-up, only works when first time buy the auto-pay enabled plan and subsequent renewal. And I don't think that credit yes refunded can be used for buying plan on another number

Thanks for the feedback.

1. noted and understood.

2. actually i was trying to get the RM25 package with CC for the 1st time ( with auto-pay enabled), it charged RM30 so i the discount not working and tried 2nd time, end up buying twice RM30 and called to get refund into my acc. but since cant be used for another number, maybe for roaming or local call with charges i guess.

fast forward to 2024, is yes good enuf to be the primary telco?

how good is YES coverage in Penang, Kelantan and KL ？was thinking about taking a 5g phone and data deal as company can claim 150 for phone bill monthly

I would say no, especially as the only telco... the issue is coverage at ulu/rural areas, tourist spot like Cameron Highlands/Genting Highlands & indoors is spotty. You should pair it with another telco as backup.

Can't say much about other places, but Yes coverage is good (speed is another story) at northern Kelantan except some not-spots. Southern (Jeli, Kuala Krai, Gua Musang) coverage mostly only in town areas

not really, 4G coverage, speed and latency(for online gaming) still lose to big telcos.

but ulu place signal how ? i check coverage tracker, East West highway no signal at all

I only went to those locations mentioned, mainly city. No line at east west then better take other telco with coverage. Rm35/monthly is ok even on 2nd line (backup)

hmm, interested to take 36 month contract for Infinite +Ultra at 178 + rm17 (phone installment) monthly as my company can allow 150 monthly phone bill claim (only for data and call). but concern about coverage. although shud be fine, usually hang out at Penang Mainland and East Coast Penang Island and twice trip per yr to Kota Bharu.

Guys, how to terminate postpaid plan for YES? I get esim yesterday and the internet speed is slow at my area. Do I really have to go Klang valley store to terminate it?

You could just port out to other telco instead.

Port out to prepaid like yoodo. And left it to die there.

Install yoodo app. Order free sim card
Wait 2 3 days.
Register yoodo ekyc
Take cheapest price yoodo SMS PACK RM3
DONE MNP
