1st question: 5GB sadly
2nd question clarification: The merger is Axiata/Celcom with Telenor/DiGi, not Umobile.

Still now news from U on the status of 5G availability?

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.

Using U38 plan.. so far so good

i had 2 YES sim cards foc. tried on my hometown in Semenyih, Putrajaya, PJ, KL, the YES 4G is faster than my U68 postpaid. check via fast.com

It's dependent on telco towers

If there are a lot of mandarin telco users in your area, then expect speed decrease

My friend said today Cheras got 5G signal already, anyone can confirm?

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.

Mine does not have too
He said he just port in to the new U38 package

and i am on P99 package
later i need to ask CS whether is it because of plan different, rest assure and let me confirm with them first

only those new u package will get 5g

5g not yet officially launched, so if you can access consider it a bonus

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?

I think need to change SIM card to use DNB5 G

from the information of Celcom trial, those selected postpaid users also need to change SIM card to use the 5G network

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.

I believe our 4G sim technically can be used on 5G network, it depends on the Telco arrangement and DNB arrangement.

You see Yes previously have 4G plan and their 4G sim card cannot register on 5G network, even 4G LTE 700Mhz also cannot register, so I believe they did some setting on checking the SIM card number and decide whether allow to register on DNB network or not.

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

I do not think Umobile is going with DNB btw

dont know
last time 2G big sim -> 3G big sim have to change sim card
3G big sim -> 4G nano 3-on-1 have to change sim card too
