KUALA LUMPUR: U Mobile has made 5G service commercially available to its customers following the signing of the 5G Access Agreement with Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB).
From Nov 3 onwards, customers of the telco's 5G-ready postpaid and prepaid plans will be able to enjoy the benefits of 5G connectivity when using compatible devices.
"U Mobile is supportive of the government’s vision of a single wholesale network for 5G deployment, whereby all operators will have access to the same network without differentiation in terms of speed and quality.
"Hence, we are delighted to have signed the 5G Access Agreement and be part of this network. We have full faith that DNB will honour the mandate of providing quality 5G coverage and capacity on an equitable and non-discriminatory basis,” said U Mobile CEO Wong Heang Tuck in a statement.
DNB began its 5G network rollout in December 2021 and has the aim of reaching 37.9% population coverage by the end of 2022.
U Mobile has launched a line of 5G-ready postpaid plans, namely U Postpaid 38, U Postpaid 68 and U Postpaid 98.
According to U Mobile, prepaid customers on U Mobile’s U25 and U35 plans will be able to enjoy 5G speeds when they redeem the Speed Booster feature for free on their plans.
The free Speed Boosters enable 5G speeds as it allows customers to enjoy data at uncapped speeds for one hour a day, or 30 hours a month.
