Pros and cons
Pros
- Unlimited data from MYR 20, a low entry point for a plan with no cap on allowance.
- Sim only lines are offered, so there is no handset tied to the monthly bill.
- 5G and esim are both available, so new handsets need no physical SIM.
- Data rollover is included on prepaid plans, protecting unused allowance.
- network seller, so the network supplies its own coverage and support.
Cons
- A credit check is required, which can stop applicants who would pass elsewhere.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with a phone channel not among them.
- Plans are sold on 1 and 12 month terms, so a longer commitment is on the table.
- Coverage sits in Malaysia, so roaming beyond the home market is not among the plan terms.
Who it suits
- Households in Malaysia that burn heavy data and want uncapped plans on a network's own esim
- Readers who want a sim only line without a handset and without a long contract
- Travellers needing 14 countries roaming countries rather than worldwide coverage
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone outside MY, where a provider with wider roaming would suit better
- Applicants who cannot pass a credit check, for whom yesss at €0 is a safer route
- People who need phone support, since the listed channels are email, chat and help centre
What it does well
Yes 5G sells sim only lines with uncapped data, 5G and esim support, hotspot sharing and data rollover, in a single market. Roaming covers 14 countries. The catch sits on the payment side, since a credit check is required.
Where it sits among rivals
Against the brands tracked here, Yes 5G sits at position 42 of 258 on the entry price, which places it in the middle of the field rather than at the bottom. On unlimited pricing it ranks far better, at position 9 of 173, so the uncapped plans are where the value concentrates.
Pricing
Prepaid entry sits at MYR 10. Unlimited data starts at MYR 20 and, unlike most rivals in this group, that figure is not tied to a long minimum term, so the same price can apply on a rolling month. Budgets set around a flat monthly figure for uncapped data will find little to change at renewal.

Frequently asked questions
What does the entry plan cost?+
Prepaid plans start at MYR 10 per month, and these are sim only lines, so no handset is bundled into the bill. That entry price puts Yes 5G mid table among the brands compared here rather than cheapest.
What does unlimited data cost?+
Unlimited data plans start at MYR 20 per month. Because these are sim only lines and billing options include contract, rolling and prepaid, the same figure can apply without a long minimum term for some plans.
Is a credit check needed to sign up?+
A credit check is required, which is the main barrier for some applicants. Readers who want a plan without such a check in place may be better served by a provider that does not ask for one.
Can I use the service while travelling?+
Roaming is offered across 14 countries, while the brand operates in Malaysia. Travellers needing broad worldwide roaming should compare providers with larger roaming footprints before choosing.
Is an esim available?+
Yes, esim is available, so a compatible handset can be set up without waiting for a physical card. 5G is also offered, which means a newer device can pair a digital SIM with the current network generation.
What happens to unused data?+
Data rollover is offered, so unused allowance carries forward rather than disappearing at the end of a cycle. Hotspot sharing is also included, which matters for anyone tethering a laptop or tablet on the move.
How can I reach support?+
Help runs on email, chat and help centre, so a self-serve help centre, email and chat cover most questions. A phone channel is not among them, which makes it a weaker fit for anyone who prefers talking a problem through.
Is there a long contract to sign?+
Terms run 1 and 12 months, covering both short and longer commitments. Billing options include contract, rolling and prepaid, so a reader can stay flexible if the longer term is not wanted.
