What is Celcom's 5G Network?
Celcom launched its nationwide 5G network in Malaysia in 2020, becoming the first telco in the country to offer 5G connectivity. The network operates on the n78 band and provides download speeds of up to 1Gbps. However, 5G coverage is still limited to major cities and highways for now.
Why Activate Celcom 5G?
Activating Celcom 5G on your compatible device allows you to take advantage of blazing fast speeds for tasks like streaming HD videos, downloading large files, online gaming, and more. With 5G, you can get work done and be entertained on the go without any lags or buffering. This is why it's important to set up the right Celcom APN settings to connect to Celcom's high-speed 5G network wherever available.
How to Activate Celcom 5G Internet?
To start using Celcom 5G, you need to configure the correct Access Point Name (APN) settings on your device. The APN tells your device how to reach Celcom's mobile data network. Follow these steps:
- Ensure your device and SIM card are 5G compatible. Check with Celcom for supported models.
- Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Network on your Android device or Settings > Cellular on iOS.
- Select 'Access Point Names' or 'APN' and click the '+' icon to add a new APN profile.
- Enter 'celcomnet' as the APN name. Leave the MMSC and MMS proxy fields blank.
- Set APN protocol to 'IPv4/IPv6' and APN roaming protocol to 'IPv4'.
- Save the settings. Your device should now automatically connect to Celcom 5G whenever available in your area.

Properly configuring the Celcom APN is key to enjoying fast 5G speeds on Malaysia's largest mobile network.
