History

At launch, it boasted 65% nationwide population coverage and was the largest 4G network in Malaysia.[7]

Yes first started out with a prepaid service, charging 9 sen for 3MB of data, or an SMS or a minute of voice call which was compatible with its 4G devices namely Yes Go USB dongle and Yes Huddle mobile hotspot device. A postpaid version of the Yes plan service called Super Postpaid Plan was launched in 2012.[8] Yes also introduced several 4G smartphones, including Yes Buzz[9] and Yes Eclipse.[10]

Awarded with 80 MHz of the 4G spectrum, Yes officially launched its 4G LTE services including VoLTE on 30 June 2016.[11][12]

Yes announced in January 2018 that its nationwide network fully supports 4G+ or LTE-Advanced.[13]
