Getting a SIM Card & eSIM

Excellent for travelers due to its easy-to-use app that allows eSIM purchase and activation before arriving in Malaysia. This means you can be connected the moment you land. Hotlink also offers competitive tourist plans and roaming passes for neighboring countries.

The pre-arrival setup via eSIM is a significant advantage for tourists, removing the hassle of finding a store upon landing. Their roaming packs are a great value if you're visiting countries like Singapore or Thailand on the same trip.

As the largest network in Malaysia, CelcomDigi offers the widest and most reliable coverage across the country, including rural and remote areas. This makes it the top choice for long-term residents who may travel or live outside major city centers.

For residents, network reliability and consistent coverage for calls and data are paramount. CelcomDigi's postpaid plans offer excellent value with large data quotas and device bundles, making it a more economical choice over the long term compared to prepaid tourist SIMs.

Known for offering some of the cheapest plans with very generous data quotas. A great option for budget-conscious users who primarily stay within major cities where coverage is strong.

U Mobile competes aggressively on price, often providing the most data for your money. However, this can come at the cost of less reliable coverage once you venture into more remote parts of Malaysia. It's a solid choice for city-dwellers on a budget.
