Yep.

Agreed, the hotspot quota is seriously a joke, older plans like GX68, P99 etc. had at least 30-50GB hotspot quota iirc.

When 5G launches, I wouldn't be surprised if they say only newer plans can use 5G to push those using older plans to upgrade.

Yeah, better stay put while you still can since they're not doing auto-switching this time like they did with the P38 plan.

They themselves also know it's shitty so they had to hide it deep in the FAQ.

They have set the wrong priorities, for example both U Postpaid 68 and 98 have free 15GB roaming data, they could've used it for the hotspot quota instead so at least people can use more hotspot. Correct me if I'm wrong, but how often does an average Malaysian travel abroad especially in this situation anyways? Even if one travels abroad, they can either afford to roam or just get a tourist SIM card from that country instead.


I wouldn't put my hopes high since DNB is gonna suck the telcos dry once they accept the deal, and then telcos will probably try to bring the burden to us consumers so they still can get profit, U Mobile is already doing this now by giving pathetic amount of hotspot quota.

But hopefully still, some competition will remain so consumers can have more reasonable choices.

I wouldn't mind if there will be more players, but I feel what they said is more like a way to threaten the telcos to accept the deal. It's just too unrealistic for a new company to set up a telco business here from scratch, even if it really happens, imagine how do they start with the network coverage? 5G coverage has not even reached half of the population yet and would take years to reach the masses, and it's already too late to start with 4G too.

You can still stay with the current GX68 plan since they won't force users to switch to the newer plan yet.

Good for you, it's definitely a great deal for those who travel a lot of course.

As usual for all telcos here, it depends on your area. From my experience few years back when using Yes 4G, the coverage is not that good, there are frequent dead spots and even straight no signal in most basement car parks and underground places, there were also times that I had full bar but calls couldn't come in, it's the worst telco for me.

You can probably try ordering their free SIM to test first (if still available) before completely porting in

Works fine for me so far in KL.

They already highlighted 5G areas in their coverage map, so it's highly likely they will be in the early gang.

If your general usage is less than 15GB and never used up the 5GB quota from Video ONZ, then it should be sufficient for you.

The main downside for the new Postpaid 38 plan is there's a 5GB hotspot quota, so it will be a dealbreaker if you rely on hotspot a lot.

No news yet, usually there will be news on the start of a new week.

The only thing that can be seen so far is they're still tweaking their coverage map page for 5G.

Few days back my phone was connected to probably one of DNB's 5G NSA tower, but it was only able to run on 4G, U Mobile hasn't enabled access to 5G for the time being.

I'm in Cheras, still no 5G for me.

I'm using Redmi Note 10 5G, enabled 5G on settings since the beginning, already tried refreshing network and everything but still connected to 4G.

Could it possibly be that your friend is in the area where they enabled 5G for testing? Another thing is Huawei phones are usually well-optimized in terms of network, so that could also be the case.

I'm also on the new U38 plan, your friend is probably the lucky one chosen to be part of their limited trial I guess?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think SIM card nowadays are already compatible with 5G, hence no need to change SIM unless it's too old.

When U Mobile was having their 5G trial in Berjaya Times Square back then (when DNB didn't exist), my SIM was able to connect to their 5G network.

Almost forgot about the Yes issue, hopefully it won't be much of a hassle for those on other telcos.

I don't get it, I'm in 5G area with 5G plan but I'm still not getting 5G yet while I'm seeing more and more people getting 5G recently, even U Mobile CS not willing to give a clear answer.

Wonder what's happening.

Not really anymore, but still decently priced unlike Maxis.

I believe those who choose plans with unlimited data don't really care much about 5G, they can basically use more data as long with acceptable speed, anything above 6 Mbps should be "cukup makan" nowadays.

U Mobile users can enjoy 5G services from 3rd November, here are the supported plans

https://soyacincau.com/2022/10/31/u-mobile-...-prepaid-plans/

iPhone need to wait for telcos to submit request to Apple for carrier update, now that CDU is on board, it shouldn't take too long.

They're trying to push those on older plans to go for newer 5G plans, but the 5GB hotspot quota is seriously a dealbreaker for some, especially those on P99.

Not yet for me, will wait until midnight and see.

Might as well go for cheaper prepaid plans from other telcos.

U Mobile's 5G page is up, but I still can't connect to 5G though.

Connected to 5G now, speed still isn't that stable though.

Another thing is that once I switch back to wifi and then back to mobile data again, it will stay on 4G for a like around 10 seconds then only it will go back to 5G.
