Nomad eSIM Data Plans for Malaysia

Nomad does not provide a true unlimited data eSIM for Malaysia, where “unlimited” in the plan name simply refers to the lack of an explicit data cap in the product description but the plan actually offers a fixed amount of high‑speed data. For example, the Local Malaysia – 5 Days – unlimited plan provides 2 GB per day, while the Regional APAC – 45 Days – 50 GB plan gives a total of 50 GB for the validity period. After the allotted data is used, the network speed may be throttled, though the exact reduced speed is not specified. Travelers who need a larger data allowance may find the 50 GB plans a cost‑effective alternative, especially for longer stays, but there is no truly unlimited high‑speed data option for Malaysia from Nomad.

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.
