Consumers are expressing doubts regarding the recent announcement by the Minister of Communications, Fahmi Fadzila, that telecommunication operators no longer impose additional charges for 5G services. Several social media users have shared their experiences, claiming that they are still required to pay extra fees for access to 5G.
A screenshot shared by one of the users showed an additional monthly fee of 10 RM for a 5G amplifier, while another user claimed that access to 5G costs an additional 3 RM. In response to these allegations, Fahmi advised consumers to check with their respective telecommunication operators and even tagged the companies in his responses.
During the investigation, it was found that the offerings of telecommunication operators vary for 5G services depending on the user’s current plan. For example, Maxis offers free access to 5G for eligible subscribers. They can experience 5G with their existing tariff plan. Maxis has also introduced new subscription plans with free additional data exclusively for 5G, starting at 79 RM per month.
Celcom offers a free 5G amplifier for some higher-priced plan subscribers. However, customers using lower-priced plans are required to pay additional charges. On the other hand, Digi offers a 5G amplifier for an extra fee for both postpaid and prepaid customers.
Another operator, Yoodo, requires customers to purchase a high-speed data plan to experience 5G. However, it does not appear to be available for users with an unlimited data plan.
Fahmi announced this during a press conference, assuring consumers that mobile network operators have committed to not charging additional fees for 5G services. The government will closely monitor this situation.
Although the initial claim of no additional charges for 5G may not be true for all operators, it is evident that some providers offer free access or additional data for 5G services depending on the user’s plan. Consumers should verify the details with their telecommunication operators to fully understand the fees associated with 5G access.
