News & Reviews:   5G access

Update - Despite the removal on their websites, CelcomDigi has told the media that Digi Postpaid 40 and Xpax Postpaid 60 still require 5G access as an add-on purchase

It's been two weeks since our Minister of Communication, Fahmi Fadzil announced no more extra charges for 5G services. So far, all the telcos have initiated the move except for CelcomDigi until now. After checking out both Celcom and Digi's websites, the 5G Booster fee has indeed been removed. 

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has issued a warning to telco companies in Malaysia to not charge customers extra for 5G access. He added that the government would consider taking action against them should this happen.

It's been more than a month since Celcom and Digi offered free 5G services to more Postpaid and Prepaid plans. If you thought you can't test it further, well, CelcomDigi has announced that the free 5G access for Postpaid and Prepaid customers will be extended until 31 May 2023.
