Malaysia eSIM

No SIM card swap is needed with a HolidaySG eSIM: it is installed on your phone by QR code. Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. 19 data plans for Malaysia are on this page. You buy it on this page and we email the QR code after our team confirms your order.

Each plan lists its network. The Malaysia plans on this page use: 3G/4G/5G, 4G/5G.

Yes: 10 of the 19 data plans have unlimited data. Their fair use terms are shown on each plan page.

Yes, if your phone supports eSIM: the data goes straight to your own phone, so there is no device to collect, charge or return. 19 of the 19 data plans support sharing data by hotspot.

Install it before you fly (Settings → Mobile / Cellular → Add eSIM), then turn on data roaming for the eSIM when you arrive.

Plans start from S$2.38 for 1GB over 1 day. Prices include everything; your card is charged exactly the amount shown.

Plans last from 1 to 30 days. Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Malaysia, not when you buy it.

19 of the 19 data plans support hotspot sharing; each plan page says whether it is supported.

9 of the 19 data plans can be topped up; each plan page says whether top-up is available.

Yes. Install it in Singapore before you fly and keep it switched off until you land. Validity starts when it first connects to a network in Malaysia. To avoid roaming charges from your Singapore line, turn off data roaming on that line while you are away.

Yes. WhatsApp stays linked to your own number while you use the eSIM for data. On a dual-SIM phone you can keep your own SIM on for calls and texts and choose the eSIM for mobile data.

The data plans have no phone number, so there are no normal calls or texts: use internet calling and messaging apps.

You can remove it in Settings → Mobile / Cellular once you no longer need its data. A deleted eSIM usually cannot be installed again, so keep it until your plan has ended.

Check that data roaming is on for the eSIM line, that the eSIM is chosen for mobile data, and that you are in Malaysia; then restart the phone. If it still does not connect, contact us from My eSIMs.

As a typical estimate (real use depends on the app and its settings): maps and messaging use well under 100 MB an hour, social media about 100 to 200 MB an hour, a video call about 300 to 600 MB an hour, and video streaming about 0.5 to 3 GB an hour depending on quality. Sharing data by hotspot adds the use of every connected device.

Most recent phones support eSIM, for example iPhone XS / XR or newer, Google Pixel 4 or newer (and most Pixel 3 / 3a), Samsung Galaxy S20 or newer and many recent flagships, but not every model or country version does. To check, look for an EID under Settings → About, or an "Add eSIM" option in the mobile / SIM settings. A phone bought from a carrier may be locked to that carrier.

An unused eSIM can be refunded less the card fee; an installed or used eSIM cannot be refunded. Every refund is reviewed by our team.
