YTL Communications have announced an enhanced Yes 5G Databack in partnership with Shopee. Launched in 2020, the Yes Databack programme allows Shopee users to earn free data with every RM50 spent on the eCommerce platform, but it was only applicable for 4G use. With the new refresh, both Yes 5G prepaid and postpaid users can now redeem the free data as an add-on or extra hotspot quota.
Since its introduction two years ago, Yes has distributed 2.46 billion GB (2.46 Exabytes) of Databack to over 13.7 million users. The telco is expecting these numbers to grow with the enhanced Yes 5G Databack.
For Yes plans with a data quota, the databack can be used as a data add-on. However, if you’re on an unlimited plan such as the Yes Infinite, you can use the databack as additional hotspot data. This is great for Yes Infinite Basic (RM58/month) users which are only allocated 10GB of hotspot data per month.
5GB of databack is given for every RM50 spent on Shopee and you can redeem the free data in the following month. This means if you spend RM200 on Shopee in October, you’ll receive 20GB databack in November. Take note that each user can only redeem a maximum of 100GB a month.
How to redeem Yes 5G Databack
To redeem the free databack, just launch the Shopee app, and then tap on the Yes 5G icon on the home screen. On the Yes 5G for all page, just scroll down to the Yes Databack section to find your Databack vouchers. Each voucher is valid for 4 months from the date of issue. Once you’ve redeemed a Databack voucher from Shopee in a Yes 5G account, all future vouchers issued for the specific Shopee ID will be tied to the IC of the specific Yes account. You can learn more about the Databack program in the official FAQ.
Yes Experience Store at Lot 10 Bukit Bintang
Today, Yes has also launched its first-ever Yes Experience Store at Lot 10, Bukit Bintang. Besides exploring devices including the Yes Infinite Gateway 5G for wireless broadband, the store also provides a space to demonstrate the future of 5G connectivity for both work and play.
YTL Communications CEO Wing K Lee said “With the official launch of our first Yes Experience Store, we are proud to take another step
forward into our mission of “5G for All”, providing a technologically advanced space for the community to work and play – all while enjoying the best that Yes 5G has to offer.”
He added, “Malaysians will have the opportunity to experience more of our world-class 5G connectivity, such as our 5G download speeds of over 665Mbps, which is over 15 times higher than the current average 4G speed of 44.1Mbps. This is part of our commitment to providing affordable 5G services and solutions for the benefit of every Malaysian, that make everyday experiences simpler, easier and better. Yes will continue to play a leading role in enabling a more connected future for the nation through 5G.”
