“Worked great 95% of the time. Speeds were 100+mbps in most areas in all the countries I visited. Ping was around 60-200ms.
Two downsides:
1. ChatGPT or apps blocked in Hongkong do not work anymore without VPN
2. In very crowded places internet would slow down a lot”

Ubigi Malaysia

“Bought their 10GB plan for Malaysia. It worked way better than my expectation in Kuala Lumpur. The speeds were sufficient and the latency was around 40ms.

At least in cities, this seems to be one of the best options in terms of both price and performance.”

Yoho Mobile Malaysia

“Essential a scam. The eSim I bought from Yoho Mobile appears to install bout there is no data. The network is forever in Emergency mode and there is zero data. Absolutely nothing. I was basically scammed out of $18 I paid for this Sim.

“Tried their Smart Traveller eSIM and it worked great! It connects to Digi in Malaysia, and XL in Indonesia. Both 4G. It roams via Thailand but decent speed, no trouble at all. Tethering worked too. No fancy app or anything but it just works.”

There are several eSIM providers that offer unlimited data plans for travelers visiting Malaysia. Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Roamify, Truely and Yesim all provide unlimited data options ranging from 1 to 20 days of validity. Some plans, such as those from Yoho Mobile and abesteSIM, may have a maximum speed limit of 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps and can be throttled during peak usage periods, while other providers have no publicly stated speed caps. The overall price range for these unlimited plans falls between roughly $1.70 and $20.30 USD, depending on the provider, validity length, and specific features.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Malaysia?

CelcomDigi: Formed from the merger of Celcom and Digi, CelcomDigi is one of Malaysia's largest mobile network operators, offering extensive coverage and a wide range of services.
Maxis: A leading telecommunications provider in Malaysia, Maxis offers comprehensive mobile services with a strong focus on innovation and customer experience.

In Malaysia, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. Examples include Tune Talk and XOX Mobile, which provide alternative options for consumers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Malaysia?

Yes, travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS are available for Malaysia from several providers. GlobaleSIM offers a range of plans from 1GB to 50GB that provide inbound voice and SMS and, in some packages, outbound voice as well. Roamify supplies similar data‑plus‑telephony options, including 5GB, 10GB, and 20GB plans that allow both inbound and outbound calls and SMS. TravelKon also offers a 20GB eSIM with inbound and outbound calls and SMS for Malaysia. All of these plans use foreign dialing codes rather than the local +60 code; the numbers are tied to the +1 code (U.S./Canada) or the +33 code (France). Prices start around $4 for a 1GB 7‑day plan and rise to about $105 for a 20GB 365‑day plan, with validity ranging from one day to one year depending on the package.
