You may use your current Yes sim card.

the telco callsign has also now changed to YES FT5G on my device

I've experienced the port out process this weekend and it was quite traumatic, but in the end completed within the standard 20-21 hours time period.

The difference seems to be that real telcos send the confirmation sms immediately once the porting request is submitted.

YES on the other hand only send the sms towards the end of that period, leaving us totally in the dark or, like me resorting to phone calls, emails and tickets to find out the status.

I was given one hour to respond to their confirmation sms, luckily I wasn't sleeping or watching a movie in a telco blackhole at the time.

YES gives double validity?

wow, I never knew this.. thanks

and after scrolling their Terms & Conditions endlessly, I found this hilarious definition of

"Grace Period” means the period of 50 days, or such other period prescribed by Us, from the expiry of the relevant Account Validity Period.

in other words

50 days or any other number of days (or hours, minutes or seconds) of YES choosing

you can try sms OUT or STOP ALL to the number

https://consumerinfo.my/know-stop-sms-advertising/

Understand bro

We all kena these charges time to time

It could be many causes, such as verification sms, rogue app or subscription

Is it a new number or you are using long time?

Sometimes recycled prepaid numbers inherit sms subscriptions from the previous owner, that's why STOP ALL is worth a try

it can be done, here's my tips

1 make sure the new telco correctly identifies Yes as your current telco when they submit the porting request. for example, maxis system lists Yes under YTL.

2 don't expect immediate confirmation sms, Yes send it much later. recommended to email Yes CS straight after request submitted to confirm they received.

3 keep your phone on and connected to Yes, the confirmation sms not only comes late but has short interval to reply, in my case 1 hour. so you have to babysit your phone.

My Yes sim is on death row now.

5G NSA mode requires simultaneous connection to 4G network of the MNO and 5G network of DNB.

So, I sense the problem with having Yes as the current 5G flag bearer is more on Yes limited 4G coverage.

The other telcos are more concerned on the money side as they prefer to be landlord rather than tenant of the 5G network.

your experience similar to mine, got one hour to reply

nope, any credit remaining will be forfeited, that's normal

totally free for 30 days

after that will need to top up if you plan to continue using

The overall timeframe from submitting the request to successful mnp is typically 20~21 hours.

The difference is normal telco send the confirmation sms instantly and you then wait those 20-odd hours for porting to happen.

Yes, on the other hand, keeps you waiting 20 hours and gives you one hour to reply the sms, after which porting will happen within an hour.

When I ported out of Yes last January, luckily I was in a quiet place with decent signal when the sms came in so I could reply right away.

Easy to imagine doing the request at mall opening time, then getting sms from Yes 6am the next day while still sleeping. Timing is everything since you need to be awake, alert, paying attention to your hp and have a good Yes signal. That's a lot to ask.

good luck, please keep us updated

I saw this in the MyYes app recently too. Wondering about the Auto Pay though, it means auto renew or we need to add credit card?

30 days validity, then 50 days grace period

sms charge for Google messages chat number verification is becoming common, affects all telcos

best to switch off if not using
