We'll all have to switch to 5G someday. Just like how 3G was phased out, 4G would eventually be phased out too. And of course, there are good reasons why you might want to upgrade. But that's not the case for all of us. Today, let's talk about 3 reasons why I have not switched to 5G yet and a few reasons why you might want to do so anyway.

The Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) yesterday announced that internet access issues in Malaysia, especially in rural areas would be resolved by June this year. Its Minister, Fahmi Fadzil said that the issues could be resolved almost completely if all telco companies work together, such as sharing telecommunications towers.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that his administration will be reviewing the plan for Digital Nasional Bhd’s (DNB) 5G network rollout, citing the lack of transparency. DNB has since responded, saying that it welcomes the review and pledged to give full cooperation.

The Celcom-Digi merger has been completed. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Axiata stated that the company would hold equal ownership with Telenor in Celcom Digi at 33.1 per cent each. The merger will also become the largest local listed technology company on Bursa Malaysia.

In conjunction with the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2022, Celcom is holding up a campaign, 'Gila-Gila Bola', to celebrate the football season with a bunch of activities for customers to join. Not only to have fun, but the participants can also stand a chance to drive home the latest Hyundai IONIQ 5. Now, let's check out how you can be a part of it!

When it comes to the Internet, faster speeds are always better. Be it for businesses or consumers, 5G would provide the speeds and benefits for enhancing our online experiences. To enjoy 5G, the first step is getting a 5G device and a 5G mobile plan.

Of course, buying a new smartphone is more about the phone and less about 5G. Those of you who are less tech-savvy may wonder "what does 5G do for me?" 5G can do many things, but for today, let's talk about the top 3 reasons why you would want to have 5G with U Mobile.

As announced by U Mobile previously, its customers will be able to use 5G-ready postpaid and prepaid plans when using compatible devices today. Upon visiting the website, the company has already listed all the eligible postpaid and prepaid plans for 5G. 

It seems that U Mobile has cleared the air and announced that the company has signed the 5G Access Agreement (AA) with Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) on 30 October 2022. Before this, it was rumoured the orange telco jumped ship but that's not the case anymore. 

When picking a mobile service, we sometimes choose one over another due to various factors. One is service coverage, which can differ depending on where you are. However, the government doesn't want telcos to choose or divide their coverage areas.

Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (Digi) today announced the return of its monthly online sale, this time around in the form of the 8.8 Digi Sale. Offering a wide range of exclusive deals across its postpaid, prepaid and mobile broadband lineup, the week-long sale starts from today until 11 August 2022 at 11.59pm.
