Nomad eSIM Data Plans for Malaysia

Nomad does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM plan for Malaysia. The plans that are labeled “unlimited” actually have fixed data caps, such as 2 GB per day for the 5‑day or 10‑day Local Malaysia plans and 37.5 GB or 75 GB for the regional APAC plans. These caps mean that after the allotted amount of high‑speed data is used, the connection may be throttled or slowed, although the specific reduced speed is not listed.

Travelers who need higher data volumes can choose from Nomad’s fixed data plans, such as the 50 GB 45‑day plan priced at $72.00 USD or the 50 GB 365‑day plan for $125.00 USD. These plans offer large data allowances without the promise of unlimited high‑speed usage and can be a more cost‑effective option for most users.

Nomad does not provide a Malaysia eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. The provider only offers data‑only plans for the country. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages.

Nomad offers 8 single‑country plans that cover Malaysia and 37 multi‑country plans that include Malaysia as part of their coverage. The plans are priced between $4 and $170 and provide between 1 GB and 75 GB of data. Among the available data‑cap options, 2 plans feature a daily data cap while 43 provide a fixed data amount, and some of the plans allow tethering.
