YTL Communications, the company behind the Yes telco earlier today has revealed that it will be rolling out 5G services soon through a media invite for a launch event that will take place tomorrow. At the same time, we have discovered that the company has since added a dedicated section for 5G on its website.

Through the new section, YTL has further revealed that 5G services will be made available to both Yes prepaid and postpaid customers. That being said, not all Yes plans will have access to 5G though.



The new 5G section only listed two Yes plans which include the Yes Prepaid FT5G and Yes Postpaid FT5G plans which are essentially the 5G derivative of the telco’s existing Kasi Up Prepaid Unlimited and Kasi Up Postpaid 49, respectively.

Hence, you can see that both FT5G prepaid and postpaid plans still carry the same traits from their Kasi Up twins. The only difference is that subscribers of these plans will also be able to access 5G when they are within the coverage areas in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Cyberjaya.

How is Yes 4G coverage outside KL?

buy yes RM1 sim card and try youself
YES Kasi Up Prepaid 15 (10GB/30 Days Validity)
some vivo oppo realme may have problem because some model missing band 20

I have signed up for the YES Prepaid FT5G RM30. now waiting my simcard to arrive tentatively this Friday 17 Dec.

Then on weekend i will go around KLCC, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya to test 5G.

Can't wait

Guys, now we have a clear 5G coverage map in Malaysia courtesy of YES: https://www.yes.my/coverage/

DNB has launch a 5G coverage map and supported device list :

https://www.digital-nasional.com.my/interactive-map#map

Sadly Apple device still doesnt support

Apparently my house in Ampang is covered! can't wait for my YES sim to arrive to validate the 5G map

Need to change new SIM card ?

anyone test already? working?

Why do you say Apple device doesn’t support 5G? From iPhone 12 or later they are all 5G phones.

If based on YES website, their current 4G subscriber just need to contact YES Customer Service to change their plan to 5G. So I guess no need to change SIM Card

Yes 4G for now still not officially fully supports iPhone VoLTE. there is no details yet on VoNR for DNB 5g network

VoNR needs 5G SA network afaik, DNB operates in NSA right now

it takes time to be compatible to specific 5G in Malaysia, the phone itself supports 5G out of the box.

same case like VOLTE, telcos take time to make it compatible to all the phones

Just placed my order

Kasi up plan will be auto upgrade to unlimited 5G plan ?

Funny, prepaid plan look better

https://site.yes.my/supported-devices/

So sad, I’m apple user.

you are using iPhone, interesting to see whether your iPhone can support DNB's 5G or not.

Because according to DNB website, iPhone is not yet supported

remember... it's either

unlimited speed for capped quota, OR,

unlimited quota for capped speed.

i will validate your statement once I got my YES 5G simcard to test

5G data currently is both because DNB is offering free to telco

i am hopeful that it will be uncapped and unlimited at the same time as well.

I just want to validate that guy's statement

anyone knows anyway to upgrade current prepaid card to Yes 5G unlimited?

I so far only find RM49 that plan in my app only.

try chat / email / call

I am curious too whether current Yes 4G subscriber need new sim card or not

Able to select phone number if you buy the SIM card (YES Prepaid FT5G RM30) from YES website?

Unfortunately no, you will know your new phone number once the SIM card arrives

Icic. May I know is your phone in the DNB website supported list?

Yes, my phone is in the list: Samsung S21 Ultra 5G

Ok, thanks. Mine will be in Q1 2022. So have to wait before can try out.

Samsung Galaxy S21 series are the only Samsung made phones supported by the Malaysia 5G network. Other Samsung 5G smartphones will not work right now.
Even the RM6k-RM7k Samsung Galaxy Fold3 is not yet certified for Malaysia 5G despite it being a flagship phone.
Apple 5G iPhones are also not compatible at the moment.
DNB is hoping to make these and a long list of other smartphones to work with its 5G network by/in January 2022.
Xiaomi has the most number of supported models for Malaysia 5G right now.


lol

waaah like picking a fight 😂



anyway, it's stated there, 5G unlimited only until certain date. 4G unlimited BUT capped 7Mbps.

Well, if they capped the speed for 5G to 7Mbps, that would mean users won't see any difference between 4G and 5G

- unlimited 4G data**
- unlimited 5G data*

** capped at 7Mbps.
* only available in selected geography; if outside coverage, will fallback to 4G data.

Up to 7mbps.
The speed of 4G. Just named packet as 5G.

Apple is the most easy support machines. Idk why iPhones not in the list. Mostly all apps exclusive to apple first just like clubhouse , hearthstone , infinity blade etc.

5G speed is from 50mbps to 20Gbps right?
7mbps not even top speed in 4G .

Post paid do have unlimited call in fine print.

Marketing manager never check before publish. Lol .
Gaji buta.

Just contact cs will do. Yes cs is the best. Must fully utilise all the cs.

It's not because iPhones not already capable.
It's because Apple, being the control freak and "what can i get out of this", makes it a requirement that they need to push authorisation to use this feature of iPhones.

Sad facts of iPhones.
Your iPhones are not truly, freely yours.
4G was a string.
VoLTE was a string.
5G also a string.

Actually not, VoLTE, VoNR, 5G and all those stuff need Carrier Profiler and validated by Apple first, then only appear in the Setting page.

Why are you hating on apple for wanting to confirm that their phones will run as good as they expect on the networks ? I think it’s much better.

I remember using my iPhone that is “not truly mine” with apple CarPlay for years before your beloved android that “is truly yours” enabled it for Malaysian users even when Singaporeans and Indonesians had it much longer before it

Kok

why this is becoming Apple vs Android fight?

let's focus on the topic guys: 5G

So, here we are in page 3, and no one has a 5G sim to test yet?

ya. all about paper talk.
next week we might able to talk about 7mbps 5G experience.

sigh, apple pay dont know when will come to Malaysia

Opera or Wayang Kulit....?

open signal mobile network comparison



the sixth telco won. congratulations.

I got yes sim, yes sim can easily enable 5g if contact yes customer service (email)

But still need 5g compatible semakfon and only in selected area KL/putrajaya or cyberjaya

Wait for few days to see. I dun have 5g phone to test

Actually I did a network search on 12th Dec in Cyberjaya because I staycation there, no 5G signal is found, probably not yet switch on the network.

I had Maxis Hotlink, Yes 4G and Digi Prepaid, all of them are providing excellent speed in Cyberjaya outdoor area and in my hotel room, first time to see Yes 4G deliver 80-120Mbps using it's 2600Mhz frequency without LTE-A, for Maxis and Digi the speed can be up to 140Mbps with LTE 2CA, upload speed also can reach nearly 80Mbps as well.

Latency is around 15-30ms while jitter is less than 10ms.

So during the staycation I didn't use Hotel Wifi at all :-)

I fulfill all the requirements (Phone supported and location covered)

all that is left is for my YES 5G simcard to arrive and then I will be happy to report in here how's the speed and everything

No need to test... edy got Wayang Kulit online...LOL...



#5G_is_fake

Don't forget to bring along camping set to camp near to tiang 5G....

During mid-nite, Kuching will panjat that tiang 5G and copet the 5G to sell at besi buruk...LOL...

5G capped at 7Mbps... apa gunanya 5G kalau nak cap @7Mbps???

another one with comprehension problem.

The 4G speed is capped at 7 Mbps for the prepaid plan.

The 5G speed is not mentioned whether any capping will be done

continue with your sarcasm.. go on

There is no speed throttling and FUP quota for YES "early-bird" promo... enjoy the FOC 5G service until 31st March 2022...

Guaranteed DL speed is 100Mbps indoor (if 5G "hand-shake" is solid)...

This post has been edited by azhar75: Dec 16 2021, 10:36 AM

Ah... my bad...

Need to zoom in to see the asterisk...

open signal is fake. keep on ignore yes. YTL

Why dont they just focus on stable 4G line?!

4G is too congested (sambil menjeling kat Axiata...) ... better deploy 5G ASAP to reduce the congestion (in high populated areas...)

Let's wait the "promise" to offer "cheaper" 5G plans/rates by all telcos...

In the meantime, "early birds" will enjoy FREE unlimited FUP quota and 100Mbps guaranteed DL speed of YES 5G offering until 31st March 2022.... whoever working/staying inside the coverage area, should grab this "early birds" offer...

Update: YES have shipped out my 5G simcard.

They are using Ninja Van, so I am a bit skeptical whether it will arrive tomorrow. Had a few orders via Ninja Van always arrived late

still nobody got speedtest? lol

how to check ya?

ya. hopefully they dont ting tong the fine print later.

#Simbol_Asterisk_adalah_budaya_kita

Waiting for my sim card to arrive as well.

you should receive an email stating that your simcard is on the way with a tracking number

must use their new sim to get 5G?

of course 5G need need sim that support, ur phone modem support and infra

oh... got device already, but now have to find new sim...

what is your handphone make and model?

need to make sure your handphone supported in the DNB list

Existing Yes customers can make the switch to the 5G plans, however, you’ll need to switch to a new SIM. The only way to do so is by dropping an email to yescare [@] yes.my.

Unfortunately, the Yes Prepaid FT5G is only offered to new customers. If you’re an existing Yes prepaid subscriber and wish to keep your number, you must upgrade to the Yes Postpaid FT5G RM49 option and you can only do so over the counter.

You can’t get the 5G-enabled SIM in store
Following the launch of Yes 5G service yesterday, we went to a Yes store at Lot 10 hoping to get a prepaid starter pack. Unfortunately, the Prepaid SIMs are not available at the store and the only way to pick up a 5G-enabled SIM is to order online via their website.

https://soyacincau.com/2021/12/16/yes-5g-fi...unlimited-data/

Anyone know what are the 5G bands that use by DNB/Yes? n28 & n78? Using a China phone, not sure able to use the 5G or not.

This post has been edited by halfdevil: Dec 17 2021, 09:45 AM

Currently DNB uses n78 3500MHz

The phone also must support LTE band 28 700MHz as anchor band/control plane because DNB currently operates 5G NSA (non-standalone network), which relies on 4G LTE to operate

Thanks for the info. Too bad my phone only support n78 and missing n28.

I meant LTE band 28, NOT 5G n28 as anchor band

If phone has LTE band 28, it is likely to work on DNB's 5G if the phone also supports 5G n78

This post has been edited by luqman98x: Dec 17 2021, 10:07 AM

Context from this video: https://youtu.be/rjJNyoojuQw

That's how I figured out DNB operates in NSA mode


Attached thumbnail(s)

Thanks again for the further explanation.
My phone do not have LTE band 28 also.

k40 pro plus... didn't see in the list

adoi... so leceh... keep using their 4- je la

K40 Pro Plus probably won't get 5G in Malaysia, because telcos and DNB won't provide 5G for devices not officially registered under SIRIM in Malaysia

Let's R O C K ! ! !



#5G_is_fake_is_under_investigation

yeay! activate it and report back to us please how is the speed?

Like this can ?

Maybe yes, idk if DNB explicitly only allows devices listed on its website

Maybe someone can try... I'm not in Klang Valley atm and don't have 5G device to test

How to check phone 4g bands 5g bands? my phone is iqoo 7

No idea with 5G and smartphone. But 4G modem dont have sirim mcmc sticker no problem.

I think operator doing IMEI verification check like smartphone plan.

wow, Kuching fly to KL to test 5G

where is your speedtest result?

Still "Manipulating"....
