A few hours ago, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil provided new insights into the progress of Malaysia’s second 5G network during a briefing with U Mobile. According to the minister, 5G deployment in Malaysia continues to accelerate, with operators now overlaying the new network infrastructure onto existing 4G infrastructure to achieve faster and more stable connection upgrades.

U Mobile, Malaysia’s newest 5G network provider, has inked a five-year wholesale access agreement with Eastel, a new Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) under Anchor Communications, set to debut in Q1 2026. This landmark partnership marks U Mobile’s first-ever 5G and 4G wholesale deal, paving the way for more collaborative opportunities in Malaysia’s fast-evolving telecommunications sector.

U Mobile has officially introduced U Home 5G Borneo, a new addition to its broadband portfolio tailored exclusively for customers in East Malaysia. Building on the success of its nationwide U Home 5G plan, this latest offering brings unlimited 5G data with no Fair Usage Policy (FUP), ensuring high-speed, fibre-like connectivity across Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan.

Pre-orders for the new iPhone 17 lineup (iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max) and the iPhone Air began a week ago. Today, 19 September 2025, the local set is officially available. As usual, all the telcos will be offering the lineup with their own special deals. But which one is best suited for you?

As U Mobile progresses with its ULTRA5G expansion, the company announced it has signed a 10-year strategic partnership with SACOFA Sdn Bhd, Sarawak’s leading telecommunications infrastructure company, to strengthen its fibre backhaul capabilities and expand the telco’s ULTRA5G network across the state.

Today, U Mobile has taken another big step in expanding Malaysia’s 5G footprint, announcing the arrival of its ULTRA5G experience at the prestigious Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur (MO). With support from digital infrastructure partner EDOTCO, the hotel has become the first in Malaysia to offer complete 5G coverage across every floor, setting a new benchmark for hospitality and digital innovation.

U Mobile is bringing next-gen connectivity to Malaysia’s biggest celebrations. Just in time for National Day and Sabah Day on 31 August 2025, the telco has activated its ULTRA5G network in Kota Kinabalu, delivering ultra-reliable performance to tens of thousands of attendees.

U Mobile has officially launched its next-generation 5G network—branded as ULTRA5G—marking a major milestone in Malaysia’s digital infrastructure evolution. Designed with professional use in mind, ULTRA5G promises ultra-reliable connectivity, enhanced indoor coverage, and enterprise-grade performance powered by the latest 5G Standalone (SA) architecture.

Following the launch of the HONOR Magic V5 in mid-July, the foldable flagship device is now available through Malaysia’s leading telcos, offering flexible postpaid plans that make this premium device more accessible than ever. This includes CelcomDigi, Maxis, U Mobile and Yes, for as low as RM70 per month.

From 9 to 31 July 2025, Malaysian customers can pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7, not just from Samsung Malaysia but also from our local telcos. Whether through U Mobile, Maxis, CelcomDigi, or YES 5G, you will find different offerings. In this article, we will be comparing each telco's pre-order promotion.
