Vibe Mobile is U Mobile’s latest MVNO partner for 5G services

U Mobile has announced a new Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) partnership with Vibe Mobile allowing the new mobile service brand to tap into U Mobile’s 4G and 5G network infrastructure in Malaysia.

According to the orange telco, they will provide Vibe Mobile, a new MVNO by Elite Links (M) Sdn Bhd, access to its “next generation” 4G and 5G network, including support for data, domestic and international services, as well as roaming capabilities.

The partnership allows Vibe Mobile to focus on branding, customer engagement and service offerings, while U Mobile handles the core mobile connectivity.

U Mobile said by enabling partners to enter the market using its established network capabilities, it is helping to broaden consumer and business choice while supporting businesses that are looking to develop and scale new digital services in Malaysia.

U Mobile Consumer Business Officer Navin Manian said, “At U Mobile, we believe the industry is healthiest when there is competition as that will keep everyone sharp and ultimately deliver better outcomes for customers. This latest MVNO partnership demonstrates how U Mobile is extending our next gen 5G network advantage to enable a more dynamic MVNO ecosystem.”

He added, “We continuously invest in our network for scale, flexibility, and future needs. This gives partners like Vibe Mobile the ability to develop differentiated offerings for specific customer segments, helping to drive greater innovation and competition across the mobile sector. As more partners come onboard, Malaysians stand to benefit from greater choice, sharper value, and services designed for different needs.”

Meanwhile, Vibe Mobile Chief Executive Officer Joseph Lim said, “This partnership marks a major milestone in bringing the Vibe Mobile vision to life, and we are proud to work with U Mobile as the network partner supporting our launch. With its strong next gen 5G network capabilities, and continued focus on innovation, U Mobile provides a solid foundation for us to deliver a seamless, high-quality, and future-ready digital experience for Malaysians.”

“As a modern, lifestyle-driven digital brand, having the right network partner is critical. At Vibe Mobile, we are creating more than a mobile brand — we are building a digital lifestyle ecosystem that reflects how today’s generation connects, consumes content, and expresses themselves. Together with U Mobile, we are excited to introduce a new generation of mobile experiences that go beyond connectivity to enable lifestyles and meaningful digital experiences for Malaysians,” he added.

U Mobile said the latest collaboration is part of its broader effort to build a more dynamic partner ecosystem anchored on its next gen 5G network. Designed for both scale and flexibility, U Mobile said it is enabling partners to tap into its superior and seamless connectivity to bring new mobile and digital services to market faster.

In October 2025, U Mobile announced Eastel as its first 5G and 4G wholesale access seeker. Eastel is an MVNO under Anchor Communications Sdn Bhd.

Earlier this year, U Mobile also signed a 5G wholesale access agreement with TM, allowing Unifi Mobile customers to gain access to U Mobile’s 5G network.

As announced last month, U Mobile has claimed to have achieved 82.9% 5G population coverage and it is the fastest telco in Malaysia to achieve the milestone in less than 9 months. They have deployed a total of 6,737 5G sites across both West and East Malaysia.
