CelcomDigi is continuing with its policy of charging additional fees for 5G Boosters, regardless of the Communications Minister’s statement that telecommunication operators will not impose extra charges for 5G. The operator still requires customers on lower-tier plans to purchase additional 5G packages.
CelcomDigi offers 5G Boosters ranging from 3 RM per day to 20 RM per month. The company justifies these fees by claiming that users on lower-tier plans need more data to enjoy a better 5G experience. The 5G Boosters provide up to 60 GB of additional data.
While CelcomDigi has waived the access fees for 5G for postpaid customers on plans worth at least 90 RM starting from August 2023, additional fees still apply for customers on lower-tier postpaid plans and prepaid customers without 5G coverage.
For customers on Xpax or Digi Postpaid plans worth 40 or 60, purchasing 5G Boosters is necessary to access 5G. Postpaid 40 users can add 20 RM per month to get an additional 30 GB of data, while Postpaid 60 users only need to add 10 RM per month to receive an extra 60 GB of data.
For prepaid users, CelcomDigi offers daily, weekly, and monthly 5G Boosters with additional data. Prices range from 3 RM for 3 GB of data to 12 RM for 20 GB of data.
To avoid the need for 5G Boosters, CelcomDigi recommends switching to their new “integrated” postpaid and prepaid plans, which offer a designated amount of data and “unlimited” options starting from 80 RM per month. However, these new plans come with speed limitations and a fair usage policy for data.
In summary, while other telecommunication operators are waiving additional fees for 5G access, CelcomDigi is maintaining charges for 5G Boosters, emphasizing the need for more data for a better 5G experience.
