Are you thinking of traveling to Macau soon and looking for the best travel eSIM?
Many eSIM providers are available nowadays, but not all are equal or good.
Some offer unlimited data, while others include a phone number for local, regional, or global use.
Some have blazing-fast speeds, while others have extended validity.
Whatever you need, there will be an eSIM for your liking.
In the case of Macau, I recommend one of these eSIM providers, which I have tested in numerous countries on multiple continents:
- Airalo
- Alosim
- Holafly
- Nomad
What do they offer?
eSIM | Packages | Prices | Data | Phone Number? | 5G NR? | Discount Code(s) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Airalo | 6 | 4.50 USD – 26 USD | 1 GB for 7 days – 20 GB for 30 days | No | No | APR10 (10%) & APR15 (15%) 2 |
Alosim | 4 | 4.50 USD – 20 USD | 1 GB for 7 days – 10 GB for 30 days | Yes (CA/US number) 1 | Yes | PTW (5%) |

1 Alosim allows you to pick a Canadian (CA) or American (US) phone number through its sister app Hushed, giving you credits worth 30 minutes (within Macau or from Macau to anywhere else) or 50 texts (same conditions as calling)
2 if you have never purchased an Airalo eSIM, use code APR15 for 15% off. You can still get 10% off using code APR10 if you are an existing customer. Note each code has a redemption limit of 3000 (while the codes of Alosim and Holafly have no redemption limit)
3 if you have never purchased a Nomad eSIM, use code ADU123 for 3 USD off. On Tuesdays, use NOMADTUE for 10% off on plans of 10 GB or higher
Do any of these providers offer regional, Asian, or even APAC (Asia-Pacific) eSIMs? Yes!
eSIM | Regional eSIMs? | Countries | Phone Number? |
---|---|---|---|
Alosim | Yes (Asia and a sub-regional one) | Up to 13 | Yes (CA/US number) |
Nomad | Yes (Asia, APAC & a sub-regional one) | Up to 21 | No |
What about eSIMs global eSIMs exist? Of course!

Airalo Macau eSIM
Alosim has only one eSIM that can be used in Macau: Macau Mobile.
Below is a quick overview:
eSIM | Coverage | Packages | Prices | Data | 5G NR in Macau? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Macau Mobile | Macau only | 6 | 4.50 USD – 26 USD | 1 GB for 7 days – 20 GB for 30 days | No |
Remember to use code APR15 for 15% off if you have never purchased an Airalo eSIM before OR code APR10 for 10% off if you are an existing Airalo user (valid until the 31st of March – only the first 3000 users can redeem either discount code).
Airalo was the first eSIM store launched in 2019.
It is also the largest eSIM provider, covering more than 200 countries and territories.
The first eSIM I ever tested was one from Airalo (in the Netherlands).
This is why I have tested Airalo eSIMs in more countries than other providers.
Airalo gives each country's eSIM a unique name that is often related to said nation.
Airalo Macau Mobile (Macau) eSIM
Airalo's Macau eSIM is called Macau Mobile.
As highlighted in the table earlier, there are six Macau Macau Mobile eSIM variants:
- Macau/Macao Mobile 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 4.50 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Macau/Macao Mobile 2 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 6.50 USD
- Macau/Macao Mobile 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 8.50 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Macau/Macao Mobile 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 11.50 USD
- Macau/Macao Mobile 10 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 18 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Macau/Macao Mobile 20 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 26 USD
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 21st of April.
With the Airalo Macau Mobile eSIM, you can use the CTM Macau network.
In my Macau SIM card buying guide, I tell you more about which Macanese mobile operator is/are the best in coverage or speed so you can manually select the network that would suit your needs.
Airalo eSIM for Macau Summarized
To summarize, these are the characteristics of each Airalo eSIM covered in this section:
- Macau Mobile:
- can be used in Macau only
- is priced between 4.50 USD and 26 USD
- has six variants (1 GB for 7 days – 20 GB for 30 days)
- has no 5G NR access
- has no phone number
Alosim Macau eSIMs
Airalo has two kinds of eSIMs that can be used in Macau: Macau and Asia.
Below is a quick overview:
eSIM | Coverage | Packages | Prices | 5G NR in Macau? | Phone Number? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Macau | Macau only | 4 | 4.50 USD – 20 USD | Yes | Yes |
Asia (new) | Macau & 12 Asian countries | 7 | 5 USD – 185 USD | Yes | Yes |
Note: it is often cheaper or more convenient to buy the Asia eSIM instead of the Asia Five Pack one, so I will not cover it in this section. However, I did want to mention/highlight it in case you are interested. The links above will bring you to the product page of the Asia Five Pack eSIM.
Remember that you can use code PTW for 5% off any Alosim purchase (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want).
If you already have an eSIM variant in mind, click on the links next to jump to the respective sections: Macau and Asia.
Alosim is backed by AffinityClick, which is known for the Hushed app.
That app with the tagline “Temporary & Second Phone Number App for Wifi, Data Calling & Texting” has over 8 million downloads.
It took a while, but AffinityClick finally bundled its product, which is a big deal.
Why? With any Alosim eSIM purchase, you will get a Hushed redemption code, giving you up to 30 international minutes or 50 international SMS.
You get a free +1 (American or Canadian) phone number from one of the more than 300 supported area codes.
While it would be fantastic to get a Macanese phone number instead, it is impossible to get one for the time being due to local regulations.
Either way, Alosim is the only eSIM provider that gives you a phone number for each eSIM purchase.
And it has eSIMs for over 170 countries, including Macau.
Alosim Macau eSIM
For Macau, you have the following four choices:
- Macau 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 4.50 USD
- Macau 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 9.50 USD
- Macau 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 13 USD
- Macau 10 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 20 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 21st of April.
Alosim's Macau eSIM gives you access to the CTM Macau (5G) network.
For more information on how Macanese mobile operator perform, check out my Macau SIM card buying guide, where I discuss the performance of each SIM card (in terms of coverage and speed).
Alosim Asia eSIM
Next and finally, we have Alosim's Asia eSIM to be used in Macau and 12 other Asian countries.
For the longest time, Alosim did not have a proper Asia eSIM.
Instead, it had, and still has, the Asia Five Pack eSIM for five Asian countries (Hong Kong, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan & Thailand).
It took some convincing (more than half a year), but it finally introduced a proper Asia eSIM in December 2023.
Well, the word proper is doing some heavy lifting because mostly East- and Southeast Asian countries are covered + Bangladesh.
The Asia eSIM has 5G NR access in most countries it can be used in, which is a central selling point too.
This also means you can experience 5G NR speeds in Macau on CTM Macau with this eSIM.
Let's see how much each of the seven Alosim Asia eSIMs cost:
- Asia 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 5 USD
- Asia 2 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 9.50 USD
- Asia 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 15 USD
- Asia 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 20 USD
- Asia 10 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 37 USD
- Asia 50 GB eSIM for 90 days, costing 100 USD
- Asia 100 GB eSIM for 180 days, costing 185 USD
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 21st of April.
The Asia eSIM has access to the same one network as the Macau eSIM.
As mentioned, you will also get a Hushed phone number with any Alosim Asia eSIM purchase.
The Asia eSIM can be used in the following 13 countries:
- Bangladesh
- China (5G)
- Hong Kong
- Indonesia (5G)
- Japan (5G)
- Macau (5G)
- Malaysia
- Philippines (5G)

- South Korea (5G)

Holafly made a name for itself by introducing unlimited data plans in June 2022, which was uncommon back then.
Now, it has eSIMs for more than 160 countries.
And more than 100 of them have unlimited data plans.
Holafly Macau eSIM

While 18 Mbps is not exactly a snail's speed, much faster speeds are available for lower prices with other eSIM providers mentioned in this guide.
Anyway, with this eSIM, you can use the 3 Macau network.

And very generous data plans are available (up to 50 GB).
Unlike many eSIM providers that refer to Asia as several East- and Southeast Asian countries, Nomad has eSIMs covering those regions + Oceania and South Asia.
Nomad Macau eSIM
For Macau, you have these seven choices:
- Macau 1 GB eSIM for 3 days (JoyTelecom), costing 4 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Macau 1 GB eSIM for 3 days (Singtel), costing 6 USD

If an eSIM is powered by JoyTelecom, you can use 5G NR or some or all supported Macanese mobile networks. If the eSIM is powered by Global1SIM, Nomad Black (Tele2 Sweden), Singtel, or Truphone (rebranded to 1Global) instead, you will be restricted to 4G/LTE.
Because these providers are different, you can access different Macanese mobile networks depending on who powers them.
The best way to find out is by pressing See Details on the Nomad Macau eSIM product page.
My Macau SIM card buying guide will inform you which network(s) is/are the best regarding coverage and speed.
Nomad APAC eSIM
The Nomad APAC eSIM can be used in 20 or 21 countries in the Asia-Pacific (Oceania) region, depending on the variant.
The APAC eSIM has the 20 Countries Plan (JoyTelecom) and the 21 Countries Plan (Singtel).
JoyTelecom-powered eSIMs have up to 5G NR access in all supported countries (except for Laos, where you are restricted to 3G) and have a maximum validity of 60 days (30 GB).
Meanwhile, Singtel-powered eSIMs (previously Truphone) have 4G/LTE access in all supported countries (even Laos), and they have a maximum validity of 45 days (20 GB).
Because of the partner switch, most eSIMs under the 21 Countries Plan have seen price reductions.

I have tested the Nomad APAC eSIM in various countries already (even when it was powered by providers that are not used anymore).
You can learn about my experiences in my ongoing Nomad APAC eSIM review.
Nomad SEA-Plus eSIM
The Nomad SEA-Plus eSIM can be used in 14 countries in Southeast Asia (SEA), Oceania & South Asia.
This is Nomad's newest regional eSIM covering Asian Pacific countries (late 2023 – powered by Singtel).
The main selling point was that this eSIM could also be used in two South Asian countries (Bangladesh and Sri Lanka).
However, the APAC eSIMs now cover these two countries too (+India and Pakistan).
But the SEA-Plus eSIM is cheaper than most APAC eSIMs.
Unfortunately, you will be restricted to 4G/LTE with the SEA-Plus eSIM.
Below is a price list of all the Nomad SEA-Plus eSIMs:
- SEA-Plus 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 6 USD
- SEA-Plus 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 12 USD
- SEA-Plus 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 16 USD
- SEA-Plus 10 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 23 USD
- SEA-Plus 15 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 35 USD
- SEA-Plus 20 GB eSIM for 45 days, costing 39 USD
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 21st of April.
Below is a country overview of the Nomad SEA-Plus eSIM:
- Australia
- Bangladesh
- Hong Kong
- Indonesia
- Japan
- Macau
- Malaysia
- New Zealand
- Philippines
- South Korea
- Sri Lanka
- Taiwan
- Thailand
- Vietnam
At the moment, I have no ongoing SEA-Oceania review because (1) the eSIM is new and (2) it is too similar to the APAC and Nomad SEA-Oceania eSIMs (especially if I try the ones powered by Singtel).
This may change in the (near) future, so stay tuned!
Nomad Global eSIM
At last, we have the Nomad Global eSIM.
Depending on your chosen variant, the eSIM can be used in 109 or 136 countries.
Truphone (rebranded to 1Global) powers the 109 Countries Plan, giving you up to 4G/LTE access.
Meanwhile, the 136 Countries Plan is powered by eSIM Go, giving you 5G NR access in about half of the supported countries.
Each plan has three eSIMs: 1 GB for 7 days, 3 GB for 30 days & 5 GB for 30 days.
Below is a price list of all the Nomad Global eSIMs:
- Global 1 GB eSIM for 7 days (109 Countries), costing 25 USD
- Global 1 GB eSIM for 7 days (136 Countries), costing 19 USD
- Global 3 GB eSIM for 30 days (109 Countries), costing 40 USD
- Global 3 GB eSIM for 30 days (136 Countries), costing 40 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Global 5 GB eSIM for 30 days (109 Countries), costing 45 USD
- Global 5 GB eSIM for 30 days (136 Countries), costing 57 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 21st of April.
Because I have no ongoing review for this eSIM (its short validity makes it challenging to be a proper global eSIM), you can use the Nomad Global product page or the map below to find all supported countries.
