Malaysia 5 GB Travel eSIM 🇲🇾

If you're already in Malaysia you still can buy the eSIM online! You can do it on this website or through the WonderConnect app. Instead of searching for local stores and comparing options, you can finalize the purchase online and get the eSIM in your email.

If you haven't traveled yet, you don't need to wait until you land in Kuala Lumpur. You can buy eSIM in advance. It won't activate until you turn it on in Malaysia, so you can set everything up now without worrying about the validity period starting too early.

If you select a 1GB plan, the eSIM is valid for 7 days. All other plans are valid for 30 days. The validity starts when you activate the eSIM in Malaysia, so you can safely install it before your trip without losing any days.

If you stay in Malaysia longer than 30 days you can top up the eSIM. Besides extra data, top-ups prolong the validity. Let's say you decided to explore Sarawak for one more week, but your 30-day plan ends in a day. You can buy a 1GB top-up that is valid for 7 days. You don't need to purchase a new eSIM.

Yes, eSIMs work in Malaysia. WonderConnect connects to CelcomDigi network, which provides 4G and 5G coverage across most of the country. Your eSIM will work from the moment you activate it.
There are no blockages of eSIM use in Malaysia, so you can take advantage of this connectivity solution and skip roaming fees.

The easiest way to reduce eSIM data usage is to enable data saver mode on your phone. If your device doesn't have this built-in option, you can manually change the settings.

Start by disabling cloud upload of photos and videos over mobile data. After a day of sightseeing and taking pictures, the upload of all your photos can use the entire data plan! You should also disable app background refresh. It will prevent the apps from using mobile data when you are not actively using them. In the App Store or Google Play Store settings, you can turn off automatic app updates. It will also prevent your data plan from shrinking in minutes. Besides, you can lower the streaming quality on Spotify and download music for offline listening.

Yes! You can purchase your travel eSIM even after arriving at your destination. The only difference from buying it before your trip is that we'll guide you to activate it immediately, allowing you to connect to a local network right away.

With travel eSIM you decide when to buy it - either before the travels, on the go using WonderConnect app, or after you arrive at your destination.

Your eSIM plan starts when you first connect to mobile data at your destination.
You can install the eSIM anytime - even weeks before your trip. Installation does not start the validity period (unless you bought an eSIM for your home country; or a regional package that includes coverage for your home country. Example: Europe → Germany).

The countdown begins only when your eSIM connects to a mobile network at your destination. For this to happen, your eSIM must be turned on, selected as your mobile data line, and have data roaming enabled.

To use an eSIM, your device needs to be eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked. If you find your phone on our compatibility list, it most likely supports eSIM technology. In some cases, eSIM compatibility depends on where your phone model was manufactured. That's why we advise you to check our list before you buy one of our Malaysia eSIM plans.

Carrier-unlocked means your home carrier (your mobile service provider) isn't restricting your phone from connecting to other networks. While carrier locks are becoming less common, if you're unsure, it's best to contact your provider. Just ask if they allow the use of digital SIM cards/eSIMs. If they do, you're free to avoid high roaming costs and enjoy affordable eSIM mobile data!

Setting up your eSIM requires 2 steps: installation and mobile data activation.

Step 1: Install your eSIM

Your eSIM for Malaysia is ready to install immediately after purchase. You can install it anytime - even weeks before your trip. Installation does not start the validity period.

To install, choose one of these methods:
• Scan the QR code we sent you right after purchase
• Use the WonderConnect app with step-by-step installation guide and illustrations

Step 2: Activate mobile data (at your destination)

Once you arrive, complete these 4 steps:
1. In your phone settings, turn on your eSIM
2. Select the Malaysia eSIM as your mobile data line
3. Enable data roaming for your eSIM (required to connect to foreign networks)
4. Turn off WiFi and test the connection by opening any website

Connection usually happens within seconds, but can take up to 10 minutes for your phone to catch the foreign network signal.
If you are using the WonderConnect app, activation instructions are accessible from the home screen.

Yes! Most modern smartphones support dual SIM, which means you can use both your physical SIM card and the WonderConnect eSIM simultaneously.

You install the eSIM and it works alongside your regular SIM card. You don't have to remove it from your phone.

Set the eSIM as your mobile data line. For your regular SIM card, you have two options:

• Turn it off completely to avoid roaming charges for incoming calls
• Keep it on for receiving calls and text messages

Don't worry - turning off your SIM card doesn't delete your number or contacts. You can turn it back on anytime directly from your phone settings

You can top up your Malaysia eSIM using the WonderConnect app or through your web account.

Log in to your account, if you have several eSIMs, select the one you want to top up and choose a top-up package. Finalize payment and that's it.

Your top-up activates automatically when your current plan ends or when you run out of data. You can purchase it anytime - even before you need it. After your eSIM expires or runs out of data, you have 160 days to top up to regain the internet connection on the same eSIM.

The eSIM for Malaysia works exclusively as a single-country plan. This means it only functions within the country's borders since it's designed to connect to local networks.
