Each Checkout link opens payment with that plan selected: only the email address and payment remain.

## How it works

1. Choose a plan and pay on the product page (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto).
2. The eSIM QR code arrives by email; install it before you travel (Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Add eSIM).
3. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS.

Data-only: the eSIM has no phone number. Requires an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone.

## For travelers from the US: what US carriers charge in Malaysia

A 10-day trip on a day pass is $120 on AT&T and $120 on Verizon, per line. The passes include calls and texts; this eSIM is data-only, and the US number keeps working beside it.

| Carrier | Cost in Malaysia | Details | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT&T | $12 a day (International Day Pass) | $6 a day for each extra line; at most 10 days are charged per line per bill. Elite 2.0 includes 20 GB a month abroad. | https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/KM1175103/ |
| Verizon | $12 a day (TravelPass) | 5 GB of high-speed data a day, then 3G speeds. Or $100 a month for 20 GB. Unlimited Ultimate includes 15 GB a month abroad. | https://www.verizon.com/plans/international/international-travel/ |
| Google Fi | Included on Unlimited Premium | 50 GB of high-speed data in 200+ destinations; Flexible pays $10 per GB. | https://support.google.com/fi/answer/9462098 |
| Visible | Global Pass from $5 a day | Visible+ includes one Global Pass day a month, Visible+ Pro two. | https://www.visible.com/plans |

## Maxis or CelcomDigi, Malaysia's two largest networks

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.

## Cities, Borneo and the islands

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.

## Grab, banks and SMS codes

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.

## Malaysia only - not Singapore

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.

## FAQ

### Does it work in Sabah and Sarawak?

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.

### Will I get 5G in Malaysia?

Possibly, in the cities: both networks are on the national 5G network. A roaming eSIM is not guaranteed 5G, though, so count on 4G.
