For customers on the legacy Postpaid Unlimited 98, 108, 128, 158 and 188 plans, the company said they are recommended to change to a new postpaid plan if they want to experience 5G.
Users on these plans can also subscribe to the company’s 5G access pass which is currently being offered for free where the company said users can experience 5G with their existing rate plan quota.
The access pass will be deactivated when the user upgrades to a new plan.
