CelcomDigi has introduced 5G boosters to both its postpaid and prepaid users, ending the ability to use 5G on its network for free for some of its lower-tier offerings. To cushion the added cost, the telco giant is slightly extending free 5G access to some of its customers who would otherwise need to pay as well as offering time-limited bonus internet quota.
For postpaid customers, the price of 5G boosters depends on which plan you subscribe to. Those who are on a plan that costs above RM90 will have free access to 5G through their existing quota while those on plans below that threshold will have to fork out RM10 per month for access. The latter group will still have free 5G access until 30 June, a one-month extension of the previous deadline.
For users of plans above RM90 who need more data, the 5G booster costs RM10 per month for 20GB while those on cheaper plans need to pay RM20 per month for the same quota in addition to the RM10 for access. Until 30 September 2023, the booster will actually come with 30GB of data as an introductory promo.
Meanwhile, prepaid customers are being offered boosters with differing value depending on which network they use. Celcom Xpax users can purchase a one-day pass with 3GB of 5G data for RM3, a one-day pass with 10GB for RM6, and a seven-day pass with 20GB for RM12.
Oddly enough, Digi Prepaid NEXT customers are getting less for the same prices, with the brand offering a one-day pass with 2GB of 5G data for RM3, a one-day pass with 5GB for RM6, and a seven-day pass with 10GB for RM12. Similarly, the prepaid passes come with a 50% bonus quota from now until 30 September.
CelcomDigi’s enterprise customers who subcribe to plans over RM90 are also getting free 5G access, with those on MEGA for Business Lightning 158 and Go Digi 168 having the option to get unlimited 5G. For regular consumers, you can check out Digi’s upgraded postpaid plans, which come with massive extra quotas if you’re willing to sign up for a one-year contract.
