According to the FAQ, selected active users on the following plans will be allowed to access the 5G network at full speed:

U Mobile Prepaid (Subscribed before 21st June)

  • GX12
  • GX30
  • GX38
  • GX43

U Mobile Postpaid

  • Giler Unlimited GX50
  • Unlimited Hero Postpaid 78

After the trial period, Prepaid GX users are still able to access the 5G network but speeds will be capped (3-12Mbps) according to their respective subscription plans. Meanwhile, selected postpaid subscribers on Giler Unlimited GX50 and Postpaid P78 can continue to enjoy 5G but with a capped speed of 5-6Mbps according to their respective subscriptions.

To enjoy full 5G speeds starting 7th July, prepaid users can purchase Speed Boosters that are priced at RM1 for 2 hours or RM5 for 24 hours from the MyUMobile app. Meanwhile, postpaid users can purchase a 5G Data Booster at RM10 or a hotspot booster at RM5 from the MyUMobile app.

To access 5G, users will need to be within Digital Nasional Berhad’s 5G coverage and use a 5G-compatible device. You can check the coverage areas here.

At the moment, the current U Mobile prepaid plans offer 5G as a daily speed booster or a weekend unlimited 5G perk. For postpaid, 5G is offered with no restriction on its current Unbeatable postpaid plans which starts from RM38/month for 60GB of data to RM98/month for 1000GB of data.

In case you missed it, U Mobile recently introduced U Home 5G, its wireless 5G broadband offering that offers “unlimited” 5G with no contract and speed caps. There’s no wireless router included and it comes with a Fair Usage Policy (FUP) of 1000GB a month, which is still quite generous. If you need more data, you can add-on another 1000GB for RM30/month.
