Networks in Malaysia

  • CelcomDigi: Major network with strong city coverage.
  • Maxis / Hotlink: Major network; Hotlink sells eSIMs in its app.
  • U Mobile: Tourist SIMs are widely available.

The network each plan uses is shown on its plan card. Coverage maps change, so confirm on the carrier's own site for remote areas.

Coverage in Malaysia

  • Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Malacca and Johor Bahru have excellent coverage.
  • Langkawi and the east-coast islands are good in the main areas; the Borneo interior and highlands are patchy.

Tips for using an eSIM in Malaysia

  • If you will cross the border to Singapore, check that the plan covers it.
  • Carrier tourist SIMs require passport registration; a travel eSIM installed before you fly does not.

Before you go

Malaysia eSIM: frequently asked questions

How much does an eSIM for Malaysia cost?

eSIM plans for Malaysia start from $1.69 for 100 MB valid for 7 days. Larger and longer plans cost more; the current price of every plan is shown on this page.

Which networks do eSIM plans for Malaysia use?

Our plans for Malaysia connect to Maxis, CelcomDigi and Tune Talk. The network for each plan is shown on its plan card, so you can choose one that suits your route.

How much data do I need in Malaysia?

Light use such as maps and messaging takes roughly 0.5 to 1 GB a day. Browsing, social media and photos take 1 to 3 GB a day, and video streaming or hotspot use takes more. If you are unsure, pick the next size up.

When does an eSIM for Malaysia start counting its days?

Validity starts from the first time you use data, not from the day you buy. You can install the eSIM at home before you travel and switch it on when you arrive.

Do I need to turn on data roaming?

Yes, for the eSIM line. Your phone treats any network that is not your home carrier as roaming, so without Data Roaming switched on for the eSIM it can show as installed but not get online. It does not add roaming charges to a prepaid eSIM. Keep data roaming off on your home SIM.

Can I use an eSIM for Malaysia in other countries?

No. A single-country plan only connects in Malaysia. If you are visiting several countries, choose a regional or global pass that lists all of them.

Does an eSIM for Malaysia come with a phone number?

The plans shown here are data-only and have no phone number. You can keep your home SIM active for calls and texts, and use apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime for calls over data.

Which phones work with an eSIM for Malaysia?

Any phone that supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier, such as iPhone XS, XR and later, Google Pixel 4 and later, and many recent Samsung Galaxy models. Check yours on our eSIM compatible devices page.
