Consumers express doubts regarding the recent announcement by the Minister of Communication, Fahmi Fadzil, that telecommunication operators no longer impose additional fees 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 sent by one user showed an additional monthly fee of 10 RM for a 5G booster, while another user stated that access to 5G costs an additional 3 RM. In response to these allegations, Fahmi advised consumers to check with their telecommunications operators and even tagged the companies in his responses.
Upon investigation, it was found that the offering of 5G services by telecommunications operators varies 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 from 79 RM per month.
Celcom offers a free 5G booster for some higher-priced plan subscribers. However, customers using lower-priced plans are required to pay additional fees. Digi, on the other hand, offers a 5G booster for an additional fee for both postpaid and prepaid customers.
Another operator, Yoodo, requires customers to purchase a high-speed data plan in order to experience 5G. However, it does not appear that this service is 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 imposing additional fees for 5G services. The government will closely monitor this situation.
Although the initial claim of no additional fees for 5G may not be true for all operators, it is clear 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 telecommunications operators to fully understand the fees associated with accessing 5G.
