mmWave is in "theory" in Malaysia yet

even 3.5G this mid band, assigned 200mhz but only used half or them
why bother to deploy mmWave band now

Hi, i just received my YES Flexi 5G sim card (data only). i insert it to my iphone 13 but internet not working.... the sim card only works when place in 5G router? i tot of testing the signal before i buy a TP-link router.... it is costly.... so i hope the 5G signal is ok at my place.....

Fyi, .......

Is your iPhone 13 updated to iOS 16.4 or later.? If yes, maybe you need to fiddle a bit with the Settings.
.

Yes RM58/Month data only plan only works on 5G modem router. Yes expressly said that it would not work with phones.

i think so.... i updated my IOS to IOS 16 beta version but still unable to get any signal .... i guess it really just works on 5g router.... omg ... im about to spend 1k+ to buy a TP-link router ... if coverage not good... i will resell here ok.... pls buy from me pls pls~ finger cross!

Maybe wrong info from .......

.... Yes 5G Wireless Broadband Flexi is designed for those looking to have blazing-fast wireless internet without a contract. The SIM-only plan is great for students, smaller families, or even people who are always on the go and need 5G connectivity without the headache of installation or waiting for the plan to be activated. Just insert the SIM card into your 5G device (it can be a 5G smartphone or 5G router), and you are instantly connected to the Fastest Mobile Network in Malaysia. A very flexible plan for anyone and everyone. ...
.

In that case, it may be better for you to test YES's 5G coverage at your locations by buying a RM10 YES Prepaid 5G Starter Pack, ie buy the 5G router only if tests pass. If not, just cancel the plan - thereafter, you can try other celcos.

AFAIK, the latest iOS update for iPhone 13 is iOS 17.0.2, released on 26 Sep 2023. The next latest is iOS 16.7, released on 21 Sep 2023. .......

Yo man what a gd good idea! How come I didn’t think of that. Yes I will just spend 10 bucks for testing not 1K! TQVM!

I just applied for a Yes 5g esim. Speed test for about 15 times mostly got about 30mb+. Only 1 time more than 90mb. And experience the line gone out of service few times during my test. Even just few seconds. Seems unstable. Is that normal? Will it perform better in a router?

.
Did you do the speedtest with your updated iPhone 13.? Are you receiving 4G+ or 5G signals.? Normal 5G signal = >100Mbps and up to 1Gbps.

Note that DNB's 5G cell towers transceive mostly on the mid-band frequency of 3.5GHz = 5G NR Band N78 (with a huge 6Gbps bandwidth capacity to be shared by active subscribers) = which has a short range of about 1km and bad object/wall penetration. So, you will only get good signal reception if your location is within 1km of the nearest 5G cell tower and your 5G device is near the windows or outside the house/condo, ie not in the living room, kitchen, bedroom or office.

AFAIK, signal reception is the same for both 5G smartphone and router.

To check DNB's 5G cell tower locations wrt your own locations, ......

NB - AFAIK, most 5G routers can be fitted with a wired external antennae that should be placed near the windows or facing outside, towards the nearest 5G cell tower, ie the router can be placed further inside the house/condo.

I managed to get 400mb+ outside my house so I guess the coverage is ok in my area. But when I test it in my living room… the speed that I get from my iPhone is about 4G speed only. Anyway since outdoor reception is good… so I proceed to order my 5G router… maybe just add an external antenna.

sadly not yet see much 5G modem, specially budget one

Zte f50?

Taobao below rm300, this ZTE ok?

.
Seems, the ZTE F50 5G Mifi modem does not support DNB's 4G LTE Band B28 (700MHz) which is required for 5G NSA. .......
