How about the older Maxis Postpaid 98 plan that I'm still subscribed to? They no longer offer this now, the equivalent 5G plan is Maxis Postpaid 109.

Appreciate if anyone can shed any clarity on this.

its cheaper at 79 but without the option for a share line

Which is why I said, the equivalent plan is now RM109.

Regardless, I just checked my phone, my Maxis postpaid 98 plan is still locked to 4G.

Check is there any 5G add-on in Maxis app? They have already allow 5g for hotlink postpaid with 0 cost, just need to activate within the addon section of the app.
The new postpaid 79 has more quota though if compared with old 98 plan.

The 109, 139, 169 all inclusive of the earlier RM11 5G price...I also wondered if they are going to revert...but doubt that.

Don't think that's going to change. It is disguised and rebranded as the "new" 5G plan, and old plan discontinued.

Old plan discontinued for new buyers, but those on the existing plans get to retain it. But there's no 5G!!!

Yup... that is pretty much Maxis CS will answer you.

LOL...

All kena screw upside down by duopoly...

Luckily I already using XOX since MCO 1.0... they just intro 5G at no cost.

Waiting Digi to announce "rebate"

Won't happen unless u sign up the fiber combo.

that's different things lol , free 5G for internet with stated quota, almost all telco got
XOX where got unlimited unlimited internet only buy and saved internet quota, price just average
now mostly 5G not given to old 'real' unlimited internet plan or really too cheap internet plan

LoL... what are you babbling about? Unlimited internet? 3mbps? Please lah...

Yoodo still got charges

I check my Hotlink Postpaid app, no free 5G subscription yet

This FukMi always announce something not yet happen.

Click on 'get 5g' on the main screen. It should open a page for you to upgrade to hotlink postpaid 70 or activate 5g pass for free.

How about Maxis Postpaid 98?

I don't know either it's true or not but trustable
Hope they come up with good news.!!!

Do you have the 5G option in Maxis app? If yes try go in and check.

Okay yes seems like I have it!

you should be able to get it from here.

I am on the old 158 plan, and I signed up the so called free 1 month 5G access, since then Maxis didn't charge me RM11 for 5G activation, and I am continue enjoying it under 158 with 5G now.

Ahh Ok..

Yes, that one need to pay extra RM10 for 5G. I thought after Fahmi announced, they will put free when activating 5G.

we've all been played. just roll out new plan, change the data a bit, 'secretly include 5g' fees.

No extra payment. I activate mine as well though the sim mostly on 4g phone.

6 months waive RM10, after RM70 per month.

You are using Hotlink Postpaid as well?

Yes I am using Hotlink Postpaid 40. In the page to activate 5G, it gave 2 option which is to upgrade to postpaid 70 or try out 5g for free on existing plan (auto renew monthly with no charges).

I see. Mine is using postpaid 60. so when i clicked the 5G icon, it asked to upgrade plan to postpaid 70 while 6 months rm10 waive.

EDIT: hey I saw that option "Try Now". When click, it ask me to tick the TnC and subscribe.

109 has higher quota than 98 so is not an equivalent plan but a total new plan …

People subscribe new plan cause want higher quota or want to buy new phone with subsidy …

Else i dont see what is the motivation … cause old plan also can have 5G, so 5G definitely not the reason subscribe to the new plan …

Previously, to get 5G people have 2 choices:
1. Plan 98 + RM10 (never charge now FOC) = 5G
2. Plan 109 = 5G

If 5G is the reason, you would have chosen #1 like most people to pay RM10 to get 5G which now Fahmi prohibit charge of RM10 (which Maxis never charge from beginning)

So people who go Plan 109 are looking for more quota or new phone… not 5G.

I dont believe if you say to get 5G you decide to pay RM11 instead of RM10 previously …

For me, using Maxis for quite some time already, years I mean. Previously Maxis is given 1 month free to try out this 5G (via 5G access pass), which until now, is the same, you have to activated (subscribe) in order to use. Then after 1 month, previously, if you continue subscribed, your monthly bill will kena charged RM10 extra. Yesterday I went into the Maxis app and notice it mentioned, right now is "free". So, doing the same process, subscribed this 5G access pass, then turn on the phone 5G as preferred connection (mine is Xiaomi 13) and everything went ok.

However, I notice, the 5G connection is not that stable, like about 40% of the time, it is either very slow 5G connection or it will drop back to 4G+. I tested in Mid Valley + KL Eco City area.

I just don't feel like I am really getting high speed, anyhow, just my "feeling" as I not like testing the speed while browsing, listen to song, watching clip inside FB. But I notice when watching clip inside FB, it got buffering, which during that time, it is connected as 5G.

Oh ya, btw, just for info, I am currently still in postpaid 98.

hotlink pospaid 30
got free 5G, never paid that RM10 fee.
5G connection rarely there. most of the time is 4G/4G+.
when connected to 5G, can get 800mbps++.

Is it automatic? or need to 'subscribe'?

What about CelcomDigi's new postpaid plans that are based on tiered 5G speed? Is it considered paying for 5g?

maxis pandai launch new rate plans and quickly bundle 5g pass in their 109/139/169/199 postpaid plans when 5g just launched last time.

i was forced to get their new postpaid plans as i want a new phone but not 5g.

rindu 98/128/158/188 times. kena gamed.

Wow u paid rm30 for 2gb ??? Kenot brain

need to subs from app

2+8+5+2 = 17GB.

From maxis business user of rm128 plan.
Can submit 5g access without additional charges and no renewal of contract

Maybe because of your area 5g coverage. Unless you have done side to side comparison with Maxis 5g postpaid plan.

It's a choice, since you want to get new phone from them. Could have choose the 79 plan and buy phone outside, still you will get 5G.

from DNB site, it is fully covered 5G area.
didnt have any opportunity to compare with maxis 5g postpaid user yet.

Where the details? Cant find

What does this mean? If I subscribe to this Hotlink 30, is actually 17gb?

Last time I got "baited" by Maxis team into upgrading from the old RM98 to RM109 plan (since it's only RM1 more expensive compared to RM98+RM10). Now I don't think I can revert to old plan.

And the 5G isn't stable, what a waste of money.

Call 123 to check if got contract or not? If no contract better downgrade to postpaid 79, more quota compare to old 98 plan.
Malaysia 5g is still long way to go, just look at how 4g coverage after 10 years, you will know

This post has been edited by YoungMan: Jan 13 2024, 11:42 AM

Yeah unfortunately I can't downgrade to RM79 plan because I have a supplementary line.

I'm current paying RM109 + RM48 (for shared line).

If your subline use more data? If not why not try move your primary line for 79 and subline for hotlink 40

Strictly speaking, is Maxis and Hotlink coverage the exact same? I see Hotlink postpaid also have free calls/SMS, does it work the same way as free calls/SMS as Maxis postpaid?

What's the catch, how come Hotlink postpaid is cheaper?

Both Maxis Hotlink had same coverage also 5G works flawlessly.
Also Hotlink Maxis also doesn't charge for calls sms as Maxis
Only drawback was Only with Maxis you can buy high end smartphone with Zerolution contract where as Hotlink only offer lower end phones

Sounds good, that's a lot of difference. The only drawback is pay separately instead of 1 bill.

Never mind that, as long as can save more. In this day when everything is expensive, just got to switch to cheaper plan if not really need those quota

Yes, that monthly difference can actually be used to pay for other subscriptions.

If both Maxis and Hotlink does indeed have the same coverage, it's a much better plan.

Coverage is the same. In places where Maxis is good, so is hotlink.

What a stupid statement shame on them

Both telco become so sakai after marriage kekw

Yeah, load of horse shit

Im still on old digi postpaid 38 plan and digi still not offering 5g access to this plan untill now...

This post has been edited by koba76: Jan 14 2024, 03:35 AM

Instead of offering the 5g via addon, why cant their defaultly turned on the 5g to everyone…

for old plan 5G access consider as value Added service
New 5G plan 5G enable out of box

Guys, please don't let CeldomDigi get away with this. File a complaint at Aduan MCMC as encouraged by MCMC if you are CelcomDigi customer affected by this.

Aduan MCMC: https://aduan.mcmc.gov.my/

I'm done report them still forcing me to sign up expensive plans but I'm not satisfy with it and do rayuan the case

Axiata OneXOX default to free #5G_is_fake...



Why Axiata "CD" Momok Kuning must be double standard between subscriptions/plans....? Offered under table to Fahmi is it....¿¿¿

Actually they kencing kat Fahmi jer ..... @fahmi_fadzil, #fahmi_fadzil, #tanyaFF

why telco charged it in the first place?

So Digi if wan access 5G for low tier such as Digi Postpaid 40 (2021) still need to pay RM10 in order to get 10GB + 5G access?

Am so confuse after reading the statement =.=
"However, if you’re on Xpax or Digi Postpaid 40 or 60 Plan, 5G Boosters are still required to enjoy 5G. "

The subscription name of Digi change from 5G Booster to "10GB (4G 5G) RM10"

Meaning 5G still not free after Fahmi Announcement?

This post has been edited by TongCN: Jan 15 2024, 09:23 AM

Yes need to pay. They disguised it in the name of booster by offering additional quota on top. Please lodge report as mentioned by MCMC if you still get charge for 5G.
https://aduan.mcmc.gov.my/

How about the Celcom 5g booster 24 months contract, celcom cancel the contract ??

After I reported this is what they replied and MCMC closed case
1st one is 1st replied
2nd pic after I rayuan my case

That is your persoanl phone number

No

celcomdigi is really cunning, konon free 5g but users with lower plans still need forked out in order to enjoy the 5g

Look like going to MNP and bye2 DiGi

Nothing comes free man. The telcos fork out tons of $$$ to obtain 5G license and that what-ever wholesale thing...and now you expect to it be free? Not possible. They will likely to rebundle with new (higher) pricing disguised as promo packages.

Waiting my Contract (unknown) with Digi ends on April 2023 then see how the next step

Either join the family plan 50% (but only 100mbps essential speed) with my brother (celcomdigi 260) or go other telco :\

5G through single wholesale network was supposed to be cheaper than 4G. 5G infrastructure built by DNB it's our money (duit rakyat) .

Last year December only 5 big Telco signed agreement to have 70% stake of DNB. But golden share still owned by government.
Government will still retain it's 30% stake of DNB. Each Telco just inject RM233 million, to get their respective 14% stakes of the 5G network. 5 Malaysia Telco now own an accumulative stake of 70%. Each Telco earn 14% equity evenly in DNB .

5G untuk Rakyat or 5G untuk buat duit melalui rakyat 🤣🤣

I can't find this option before I forced to change my package for me to be able to use 5G. If not, I've opt in this one months ago already.

Maxis dupe everybody on this. They should revert their packages to previous prices back.

All celcom / digi customers to report to MCMC so that end up MCMC saman they gao2

I already done my part.. done report haha

This post has been edited by DK007: Jan 16 2024, 10:02 AM

I dont have an opt to pay extra caj for 5g in my apps
So what i need to komplen

My pkg is digi next 15

Got this reply as well. Damn digi. That's a new low even for Digi.

Typical of them...

Always first they keep closing the case....

Yeah i also opt in already, seems is free
Kepong area and KL using 5G all day the connection good and smooth

What speed you getting??

in kepong area

Maxis postpaid, 98 package, subscribed the 5G access pass and check this month billing, the 5G access pass is free. Just for info, I have previously subscribe before the access pass during the 1 month free trial. So, this time, Maxis is given free for sure.

That is because you have a higher package.

I have a postpaid 40 legacy package and they tell me that the 5G access pass is not available and I will have to subscribe for a higher tier postpaid package.

See, it's not really free for some folks. One has to subscribe to higher tier to obtain "free" 5G. That's not really free. Those on legacy (low value) package is not likely going to get "free" 5G access.

That's why we have been asking Celdi users to keep opening MCMC aduan, even if it seemed doesn't work, it will bring MCMC attention to this blatant act by Celdi.

This is CelcomDigi "free" 5G SCAM.

my current plan:




I need to pay RM60 more for "free" 5G.

a BLATANT SCAM.

onexox 500mb / month plan can use free 5G
but dont do speedtest because data gone before test finish

yes, just kept reporting.
so that even they still remain the price, end up MCMC will fine them a lot for this.
Padan muka

They already the biggest in market...

So next rival is Maxis... And many says it's sucks too...

So CelDg ego... Don't really care... Already near monopoly situation... Whatever report also not really use... Remember they is GLC... Government backed...
