CelcomDigi prepaid customers now have to pay for 5G, here’s how much the 5G Booster passes cost

As announced earlier, the free 5G Booster passes for Celcom and Digi customers have finally come to an end on 31st May 2023. If you’re on a Celcom or Digi prepaid plan, you are now required to purchase a 5G Booster Pass in order to access Digital Nasional Berhad’s 5G network. As an introductory offer, CelcomDigi is offering a 50% extra data promo for a limited time.

If you’re a Celcom Xpax Prepaid user, here’s the pricing for the 5G booster passes along with the 50% extra data promo:

• 1 Day 3GB 4.5GB – RM3
• 1 Day 10GB 15GB – RM6
• 7 Days 20GB 30GB – RM12

If you’re on Digi Prepaid, here’s the pricing for the 5G Booster which also comes with a 50% extra quota offer:

• 1 Day 2GB 3GB – RM3
• 1 Day 5GB 7.5GB – RM6
• 7 Days 10GB 15GB – RM12

Unfortunately, unlike the postpaid offering, there’s no monthly option for the 5G Booster on prepaid. If you need to access 5G for a month, that means you’ll have to activate the 7-day pass weekly which costs RM12 per week.

On top of that, the 5G booster for prepaid has a speed cap of up to 100Mbps, which is the minimum speed promised by DNB at the cell edge. According to the FAQ on both Celcom and Digi, the allocated data quota from the Booster is usable for both 4G and 5G coverage areas. If you’ve depleted the 5G booster quota, you can still enjoy access to 5G as long as the pass is still active. Even if your current prepaid plan offers unlimited data with a speed cap, you are able to enjoy faster speeds up to 100Mbps but only if you still have data quota remaining from your 5G booster pass.

Take note that the 50% extra data offer for the 5G Booster is available until the 30th September 2023.
