You do not get a new phone number with this eSIM.
Setting up your eSIM? The installation and activation guide walks through it step by step, and the full FAQ covers device compatibility, hotspot, dual SIM and topping up.
This eSIM runs on Maxis or CelcomDigi - the company formed when Celcom and Digi merged in 2022 (your phone may still show "Celcom" or "Digi" in its network list). It does not use U Mobile or Unifi. Both of its networks use DNB, the national wholesale 5G network, so 5G may be available where there is coverage and your phone supports it; plan on 4G.
Coverage is strongest in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru and the other cities and main towns. In the interior of Sabah and Sarawak, and on highland trails, it can be weak or absent.
On the smaller islands, one resort can have good signal and the next none, so screenshot your ferry and hotel confirmations before you leave the mainland. If you are thinking of the islands and dive sites off eastern Sabah, check travel advice first: the UK advises against all but essential travel there.
No Malaysian number comes with this eSIM, so it cannot receive the code Grab or a banking app may text you when you sign up or log in on a new phone. Register for Grab before you fly, or keep your home SIM switched on for texts while the eSIM handles data.
The plans cover Malaysia only, so a trip on to Singapore needs a separate Singapore eSIM. Near the Causeway in Johor Bahru your phone may also pick up a Singaporean network, where this eSIM does not work: if data stops near the border, set the network to Maxis or CelcomDigi yourself instead of leaving it on automatic.
In Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and the main towns, usually. In the interior, along rivers and in national parks, coverage is limited, so plan for time offline.
Possibly, in the cities: both networks are on the national 5G network. A roaming eSIM is not guaranteed 5G, though, so count on 4G.
Using your US plan in Malaysia means a day pass on most carriers: a week on AT&T's or Verizon's comes to $84.00 for one line, against data plans from $4.57 here. The passes include calls and texts; our eSIMs are data-only and your US number keeps working beside them.
