Our verdict
Yes 5G is a Malaysian carrier plan built for regional trips, and it suits travellers crossing nearby countries on short passes rather than anyone plotting a worldwide itinerary. Coverage runs to 14 countries, with day passes starting at MYR 10 and sold by the carrier itself.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Unlimited data is listed and top-ups are available, with speed dropping only after the pass high-speed quota is used.
- Roaming runs on partner networks SIMBA/TPG, StarHub and M1, with 5G listed among unlimited data, 5g and carrier plan.
- Founded in 2010 and listed as carrier, so passes come straight from the network operator.
- A pocket WiFi option is offered for groups, with the device covering 10 connections.
Cons
- Regional reach of 14 countries, so a multi-continent trip needs another plan.
- Help runs through email, chat and help centre, with no phone line among the channels listed.
- The pocket WiFi deposit is MYR 200, above the €50 deposit typical here.
Who it suits
- Travellers on regional itineraries who want a carrier's own pass instead of a marketplace eSIM.
- Groups sharing one WiFi device, since it covers 10 connections.
- People who would rather add data as they go, since top-ups are available.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone heading outside the region, where Zwitchy lists 200 countries.
- Shoppers weighing entry points, where eSIMGo.is starts at $0.99.
- Trips centred on Israel, where SimToIsrael is the closer fit and starts at $25.
What data costs
Passes start at MYR 10, and reference prices are built around regional structures: an ASEAN Plus pass and a Singapore pass, each sold for single days and for longer stays, with an any-destination day pass alongside. Longer passes carry more data for less per day, and the any-destination option holds the smallest allowance listed.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Yes 5G data pass cost?+
Passes start at MYR 10. Reference pricing is built around regional structures, an ASEAN Plus pass and a Singapore pass, each sold for single days and for longer stays, with an any-destination day pass listed alongside. The longer passes carry more data for a lower daily cost than the day options.
Is the data really unlimited?+
Unlimited data is listed, and it comes with a fair use limit: each pass includes a high-speed data quota, and once that quota is used the speed drops and stays there until the pass runs out, at no extra cost. 1GB high speed, 512kbps thereafter sets out the high-speed allowance and the reduced speed that follows.
How many countries does it cover?+
Coverage is regional, running to 14 countries rather than a global footprint. For a trip beyond that area a wider plan fits better, since Zwitchy lists 200 countries and the gap is a large one for long itineraries.
Can I hire a pocket WiFi instead of a pass?+
A mobile WiFi option is offered at MYR 8 a day with a MYR 200 deposit, and the device carries 10 connected devices, which makes it a shared option for a group. That deposit sits above the €50 deposit typical across the listings here.
Which networks does the roaming run on?+
Roaming sits on partner networks SIMBA/TPG, StarHub and M1 rather than one operator, so coverage abroad follows whichever partner is present in the country you are visiting. The pass is sold by the carrier directly, listed as carrier, so the price you see is the carrier's own.
How do I get help while abroad?+
Support runs through email, chat and help centre, so help arrives by written request, chat or the help centre rather than a phone line. The carrier has operated since 2010, and a help centre is listed, though a traveller with a dead connection mid-trip has fewer options than a provider offering live support.
Can I top up if I run out during a trip?+
Top-ups are available, so a pass does not have to cover the whole trip on paper. The plan is aimed at short trip and long trip travellers, and passes are sold by the carrier itself, so extra data can be added to the same plan rather than bought as a separate order from a marketplace.
