“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.

SimOptions Malaysia

“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.”

Malaysia Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Malaysia

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Malaysia, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

About 140 travel eSIM brands and roughly 10, 000 prepaid data plans are available for Malaysia, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy to find an eSIM that fits your travel needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Malaysia?

Unlimited data eSIMs are available for Malaysia through several providers. They generally allow tethering but some mention possible speed throttling or formal limits. For example, abesteSIM offers unlimited data for 1‑20 days with a 10 Mbps speed limit that may drop to 128 kbps under heavy use, while Yoho Mobile caps unthrottled speed at 5 Mbps. Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Truely and Yesim also provide unlimited data, noting that speed may be reduced during peak periods, and have no explicit speed caps listed. Prices vary from as low as about $1.57 USD for a one‑day plan up to roughly $20.50 USD for longer validity periods. Travelers who need continuous high‑speed access may want to verify the throttling policies and choose a plan that aligns with their data‑intensive activities, such as streaming or video calls, while those with lighter usage can comfortably fit within the lower‑priced unlimited options.

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.
U Mobile: Established in 2006, U Mobile is Malaysia's youngest telecom company, known for its competitive offerings and expanding network infrastructure.
Unifi Mobile: Operated by Telekom Malaysia, Unifi Mobile provides mobile services with a focus on seamless connectivity and integration with other Telekom Malaysia services.

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?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS capability are indeed available for Malaysia, offered by Roamify and Orange Travel. Roamify’s packages give users a global phone number (dialing code +1 for most plans, +33 for the dedicated Malaysia 20 GB plan) with voice service in‑ and outbound and SMS inbound/outbound, and cover data sizes from 1 GB to 20 GB with validity from 7 to 365 days at prices starting around $15.00 USD. Orange Travel provides phone numbers with foreign dialing codes 48 (for its 2 GB, 5 GB, 10 GB, 20 GB plans) and 33 (for its 20 GB and 100 GB offerings), each supporting voice and SMS both inbound and outbound; these plans range from 2 GB to 100 GB over 30 days, with prices beginning at about $16.99 USD.
The numbers on both providers are not local Malaysian numbers (Malaysia’s dialing code is +60); they are from other countries, so calls and texts made to Malaysian numbers will use international routing.
