News & Reviews:   Yoodo

If you're a Yoodo user, you may have woken up today to find that your line isn't working. That's because the telco's services are currently down, meaning that the internet connection and Yoodo app are temporarily unavailable.

Yoodo has officially announced that you could stand a chance to win prizes worth up to RM3600 when you compete in games such as PUBG Mobile and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang with their Yoodo Stay At Home Cup. The online qualifier for the PUBG Mobile Stay At Home starts on 13 May and 14 May 2020, while the grand finals will be held on 15 May 2020.

E-sports is an industry that many expect to see massive growth in. A recent Newzoo report predicts that this industry will have a global audience of just under 500 million viewers and a total revenue of USD 1.1 billion (~RM4.8 billion) this year. That's a lot of money to be made, money that Yoodo wants to earn by hosting the inaugural Yoodo FV Major Cup 2020.

While MCMC have officially stated that the free 1GB Internet data provided by Celcom, Digi, Maxis and U Mobile will only be available in between 8AM - 6PM, many users thought that time limit is a bit of a letdown. Moreover, this applies to both postpaid and prepaid customers but not to Yoodo. Thanks to one of our readers, it has come to our attention that Yoodo users can use their free 1GB Internet data any time and anywhere. 

In the midst of an unfamiliar period (cause you know, the Movement Restriction Order has begun), all Malaysians could think of was more information about their wellbeing. With that, it seems that a lot of people missed out a Yoodo promotion yesterday which is offering 20GB worth of Internet data for just RM20 only.

For our TechNave NewsByte 2019 this time, OPPO got to be the first to make a call using a new technology, Yoodo wants you to message the Malaysian 2019 SEA Games team your words of support, Team Gaventure from Malaysia makes it to the Grand Finals of the League of Champions IV, Sony announces pre-orders for the NW-A100TPS Walkman, Time dotCom Berhad is partnering with Facebook and more. 

The PMCO Global Finals will be happening at the Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur, from 31 November until 2 December 2019. With that said, Yoodo will be sending their PUBG Mobile Team, Yoodo Gank, one of the highest-ranked Malaysian team to represent Malaysia in the grand finals where they will be among the 16 teams who will be duking it for their share of the RM10.5 million prize pool.

Today, Yoodo has announced that they will be hosting the first-ever PUBG MOBILE Campus Championship (PMCC) 2019 to several universities and colleges across the nation. The tournament will kick off from 24 September onwards in 7 separate regional qualifiers and finals.

After a swarm of events and PR news from the post-Hari Raya holidays, tech news was calm again this week and there isn't much going on. The biggest one was probably the Xiaomi Mi 9T, also known as the K20 is launched in Malaysia from RM1199 which is dirt cheap, Shopee 7.7 Orange Madness campaign is back with awesome RM1 items, RM0.77 Shocking Sale, Shopee24 Express Delivery and more, 11street died and revived as PrestoMall, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is now available in Malaysia and the Huawei Nova 5 series got unveiled.

eSIM seems to be making its way to become a trend. Maxis and Celcom already have their own eSIM package and the latest player to enter this market is Yoodo. Yoodo consumers can sign-up and register without going to a store, as they can just do it from the comfort of their homes through the Yoodo app.
