10 Best Prepaid SIM Cards in Malaysia: Buying Guide

Malaysia – known for the Petronas Twin Towers, jungles & the Batu Caves.

The year-round weather also makes it a popular travel destination for those wanting to escape the cold winter in their own country.

The issue with Malaysia, however, is that there is so much to do that you would need a lifetime to explore it all.

Several mountains can be explored, such as Mount Kinabalu.

Many exciting theme parks are scattered across the country as well, including LEGOLAND Malaysia and Sunway Lagoon.

And for those who want to stay away from all the crowdedness, you can even visit several islands, such as Sipadan Island.

Oh, and do not forget about East Malaysia, with the states Sabah and Sarawak and the Federal Territory of Labuan – all on Borneo (shared with Brunei and Indonesia).

Malaysiais an affordable travel destination, but it may be expensive for Southeast Asian standards.

To keep things even more inexpensive for yourself, get a Malaysian SIM card to enjoy local rates.

International roaming can be expensive. Plus, SIM cards in Malaysia are not expensive at all.

You can get a Malaysian SIM card for 3 MYR (0.70 USD) to 10 MYR (2.40 USD) in Digi, Hotlink/Maxis, Celcom (also for Yoodo), U Mobile, Yes & Altel stores. Resellers, including convenience stores, sell SIM cards too (for speakOUT, redONE & Tune Talk). Kuala Lumpur International Airport has SIM cards too.

Not to mention that most mobile network operators and a few mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) sell SIM cards targeted at tourists.

Such as speakOUT, with its 50 MYR SIM card with 100 GB for 7 days – the most generous (prepaid) data allowance in Malaysia.

With more than 15 mobile network operators and MVNOs, I selected Malaysia's ten best prepaid SIM cards (for tourists).

The other options are either whack or (almost) impossible to get for short-term travelers.

Oh, and those living in Malaysia do not have to click this page away – you will be learnings a lot about all the options in the country too 😉.

In this guide, I will tell you everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Malaysia. Let's do this.

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Malaysia?

Anyone 12 years old or older living in or visiting Malaysia can buy a Malaysian SIM card from the mobile network operators (Digi, Hotlink (Maxis), Celcom (+ Yoodo), U Mobile, Yes & Altel) or MVNOs (redONE, speakOUT & Tune Talk) with some restrictions. Tourist SIM cards are usually only available to those 18 years or older.

The main restriction is that you can only have five active SIM cards in your name in Malaysia.

Besides that restriction, you are free to use Malaysian SIM cards.

You do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations.

Moreover, you need a phone that supports the frequencies used in the country (preferably all of them to have the most optimal experience while in Malaysia).

Furthermore, you need to have a SIM-lock-free device.

Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Malaysia?

You can get a Malaysian SIM card in Digi, Hotlink/Maxis, Celcom (also for Yoodo), U Mobile, Yes & Altel stores. They are also available from third-party sellers, such as grocery stores and convenience stores. Several airports, including Kuala Lumpur International Airport, sell SIM cards too.

You can buy a SIM card in the following airports:

• Kota Kinabalu – Kota Kinabalu International Airport
• Kuala Lumpur – Kuala Lumpur International Airport
• Kuching – Kuching International Airport
• Langkawi – Langkawi International Airport
• Miri – Miri Airport
• Penang – Penang International Airport
• Sandakan – Sandakan Airport

You can expect to pay the following for Malaysian SIM cards:

• Digi: 8 MYR
• Hotlink by Maxis: 10 MYR (both Unlimited SIM & Internet 365 SIM)
• Celcom (Axiata): 10 MYR
• U Mobile Malaysia: 10 MYR
• Yes Malaysia: 10 MYR & 15 MYR
• Antel Malaysia: 7 MYR
• redONE Malaysia: 10 MYR
• speakOUT Malaysia: 10 MYR
• Tune Talk: 5 MYR
• Yoodo: 3 MYR

The following mobile operators also have SIM cards targetting tourists:

• Hotlink by Maxis: 36 MYR
• Celcom (Axiata): 30 MYR
• U Mobile Malaysia: 12 MYR & 30 MYR
• speakOUT Malaysia: 50 MYR
• Tune Talk: 25 MYR & 50 MYR

For up-to-date MYR:your currency (let's say SGD) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

Can You Use Your Phone in Malaysia?

Malaysia uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Malaysia. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).

Traditional European frequencies are used in Malaysia, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).

The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American Frequencies, which differ from the European ones.

If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Malaysia.

If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Malaysia or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).

If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Malaysia (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE (and soon 5G NR).

Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Malaysia

Malaysia has four mobile network operators, two 4G/LTE-only mobile operators (of which one has a national roaming agreement), one sub-brand & three Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) easily accessible to travelers offering prepaid services:

• Digi Malaysia
• Hotlink by Maxis
• Celcom (Axiata)
• U Mobile Malaysia
• Yes Malaysia (4G/LTE only)
• Antel Malaysia (4G/LTE only with Celcom Axiata 2G & 4G/LTE roaming)
• redONE Malaysia (Celcom MVNO)
• speakOUT Malaysia (Digi Malaysia MVNO)
• Tune Talk (Celcom Axiata MVNO)
• Yoodo (Celcom Axiata sub-brand)

The following frequencies are used in Malaysia:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: Shut down in December 2021 (Jendela Project)
• 4G/LTE: 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1), 2300 MHz (Band 40) & 2600 MHz (Band 7 & Band 38)
• 5G NR: 700 MHz (n28) & 3500 MHz (n78) – coming soon through DNB

You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.

To check whether your phone will work in Malaysia, check out this page by Will My Phone Work (may be outdated or inaccurate at times).

Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).

If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.

5G NR in Malaysia

Commercial 5G NR is not available in Malaysia yet in 2021. However, the country plans on launching 5G NR in 2022 with the Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) Project. Digi, Hotlink/Maxis, Celcom, U Mobile & unifi (Telecom Malaysia) have signed up for the project.

Instead of auctioning 5G NR licenses to the individual mobile network operators, 5G NR will be run by the DNB as a Single Wholesale Network.

This means that all the participating mobile network operators can access the DNB 5G NR and use it for their own customers.

The main benefit of this is that the 5G NR rollout can be done at an equal pace.

Moreover, every mobile network operator will have equal access to the network.

Another benefit, as mentioned by the national regulator MCMC, is that it intends “to lower the capital expenditure (CAPEX) by minimizing costs and preventing the duplication of infrastructure.”

This method of rolling out a mobile network is not usual.

The only recent example I can think of is Rwanda with its 4G/LTE network, which was not as a success as hoped.

So, we will have to see how it will turn out.

Best SIM Card in Malaysia

If you want to buy the best SIM card in Malaysia, I recommend going with Digi or Celcom. Digi has the fastest speeds. Celcom has the best 4G/LTE coverage. Consider the MVNOs (speakOUT, redONE, Tune Talk & Yoodo) for great network performance at (slightly) lower prices.

Best International/Travel SIM Card for Malaysia

If you want to buy the best international/travel SIM card for Malaysia, I recommend going with SimCorner's 6 GB Malaysia Travel SIM card for 15 days. Consider SimCorner's Asia SIM cards to be used in Malaysia and 20+ countries, including neighboring Indonesia, Singapore & Thailand.

You have these two Asia SIM cards:

• Asia SIM card with 6 GB for 8 days in 30 countries
• Asia SIM card with 6 GB for 15 days in 20+ countries

• Check out my SimCorner Travel SIM card reviews

The SimCorner Asia SIM cards can be used in Malaysia and the following other countries:

¹ for the 8 day version only
² for the 15 days version only
³ only 500 MB in Thailand – better get the SimCorner Thailand Travel SIM Cards instead

You can also get the SimCorner International Travel SIM card with 6 GB of data valid for 15 days to be used in Malaysia and 100+ countries, including most of the ones mentioned above (Asia) and in the Americas, Europe & Oceania:

Instead of spending between 5 USD to 15 USD for SIM cards in each country, get a SimCorner travel SIM card covering numerous countries for just one price!

Use discount code PHONETRAVELWIZ for extra savings!

SIM Card Registration in Malaysia

SIM card registration with your passport information is mandatory in Malaysia. It will be done at the point of sale.

• Find out which countries have a SIM card registration regulations and what is required from you (lookup tool)

Moreover, you can have up to five active prepaid SIM cards in Malaysia.

This restriction applies to both Malaysian citizens and non-citizens (including migrant workers and tourists).

Sales & Service Tax (SST) in Malaysia

Malaysia has a 6% Sales and Service Tax (SST), which replaced the former Goods and Service Tax (GST) in September 2018.

The SST was also applicable to mobile services, including top-ups and buying plans.

However, only six days later, the Malaysian government announced that prepaid services were exempt from the Service Tax. This meant that a 10 MYR top-up would leave you 10 MYR and not 9.4(3) MYR.

But there is a catch – this exemption only applies to Malaysian citizens – not to non-citizens and tourists.

So as a traveler, a 10 MYR recharge will leave you with 9.4(3) MYR.

Malaysia Mobile Speeds, Mobile Internet Prices & Insights

Mobile data rates in Southeast Asia are low compared to other regions around the world.

But that is understandable – the cost of living in Southeast Asia is much lower than in Europe ,for example.

So, how cheap is mobile data in Malaysia?

The average price for 1 GB of data in Malaysia is 0.89 USD, around the Asian average of 1.79 USD. The world average is 4.07 USD.

Sure, some neighboring countries have even lower averages. Still,

Malaysia is one of the 53 countries worldwide, with an average cost of 1 GB of data below 1 USD.

So it is doing just fine!

Enough about prices – let's talk about speed. Is mobile data fast in Malaysia?

It is fast – not blazing-fast, though.

Malaysia's median mobile download speed is around 24 Mbps.

That is close to the global median of 29 Mbps.

Okay, now it is time to know which mobile operator is the fastest in Malaysia.

That would be Digi Malaysia, with a speed score of 33.19. Followed by Hotlink/Maxis (31.94), U Mobile Malaysia (30.92), Celcom Axiata (28.14) & Unifi (13.27).

By the way, Unifi will not be covered in this guide because it looks like you could only order a SIM card online and not get them in person (when I was in Malaysia the last time). This is not practical for travelers. Hence, it is excluded.

The fastest mobile download speed can be found in Nusajaya, in Johor state, with a mean download speed of 33.36 Mbps.

Many other cities have mean download speeds of more than 30 Mbps (Ipoh, Malacca, Shah Alam, George Town (Penang), Johor Bahru, Kota Kina Balu & Petaling Jaya.

Kuala Lumpur, the capital city, almost fell out of the top 10, with a mean download speed of 28.67 Mbps. Seremban (Negeri Sembilan state) is slightly faster, with a mean download speed of 29.10 Mbps.

What about the network performance by the Malaysian mobile operators?

Each one has its specific strength.

Digi Malaysia is the fastest. Celcom Malaysia has the best 4G/LTE coverage. Hotlink/Maxis is the best in terms of online gaming and video streaming. U Mobile has the most excellent VoIP performance.

Let's talk about 3G and 4G/LTE for a bit – you need to know about the Jendela (Jalinan Digital Negara Plan) Project.

Basically, the Malaysian government wants nationwide 4G/LTE coverage to be as good as 3G coverage was.

So they decided to help the mobile operators achieve the goal of 100% 4G/LTE coverage (in populated areas).

To get there, 3G networks have been shut down across Malaysia in 2021.

The 3G frequency previously in use, 2100 MHz, is also a fundamental frequency for 4G/LTE (Band 1).

So all Malaysian mobile operators have been reframing their 3G 2100 MHz frequency and turning it into a 4G/LTE frequency (Band 1).

Below you can see the positive impact this change has had so far.

This project also resulted in more Malaysians getting a smartphone or upgrading their phones.

But you may be thinking: in my country, 4G/LTE is only for data and not for calling. Can I still make calls in Malaysia without using a VoIP app?

Yes, you can with VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)).

All Malaysian mobile operators have implemented VoLTE technology, which the MVNOs can also use.

So if your phone supports VoLTE, be sure to turn it on. Otherwise, you may not be able to make calls in the country.

Oh, you can also use VoWiFI (Voice over WiFi).

But what about calling on 2G? Is that still possible?

Yes, and it will not be shut down anytime soon. But your call quality will be significantly worse compared to VoLTE and 3G.

Just know that U Mobile and Yes Malaysia do not have 2G networks, so you need a phone that supports VoLTE if you want to use their networks.

With low SIM card prices, extensive nationwide coverage, good mobile download speeds, and low mobile data rates, you should have a smooth network experience in Malaysia.

Currency in Malaysia

Malaysia uses the Malaysian Ringgit with the symbol MYR (which will be used throughout this guide).

However, prices are often listed as RM. For example, 25 MYR = RM25.

For reference, below are some exchange rates between MYR and USD (US Dollars):

• 1 MYR = 0.20 USD
• 10 MYR = 2.40 USD
• 100 MYR = 23.60 USD
• 1000 MYR = 236.40 USD

For up-to-date MYR:your currency (let's say SGD – Singapore Dollar) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool

If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.

Their fees are MUCH lower than banks, and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).

I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Euros, my main currency, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards. Open a Wise account FREE!

Malaysian Prepaid SIM Cards

Below, I will guide you through Digi, Hotlink by Maxis, Celcom (Axiata), U Mobile & Yes (4G), Antel Malaysia, speakOUT Malaysia, redONE Malaysia, Tune Talk, & Yoodo and go through:

• Background information
• Mobile coverage
• SIM card types, prices, and availability
• Recharge/top-up information
• Combo plans, data plans, and special packs (such as social media packs)

With that being said, let’s see what Malaysia has to offer to us.

While Hotlink initially was Maxis' prepaid brand, it later added postpaid plans to Hotlink.

Hotlink was also the first mobile operator to offer Free Basic Internet, which is data browsing as 64 Kbps (excruciating slow… but it is free).

This also caused the elimination of Pay As You GO data overuse fees.

Hotlink uses the following frequencies:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: Shut down in December 2021 (Jendela Project)

It is the mobile division of the YTL Corporation, specifically YTL Communications.

Yes was the first 4G/LTE-only mobile operator in Malaysia, building its network from the ground up.

It also never had a national roaming agreement with any other mobile operator, meaning that you needed a 4G/LTE compatible device to use Yes.

Moreover, only select devices that support 4G/LTE on select non-traditional frequencies and VoLTE can use Yes.

Fortunately, Yes has a supported device list on its site to avoid surprises.

Yes uses the following frequencies:

• 2G: N/A – never had it
• 3G: N/A – never had it
• 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 2300 MHz (Band 40) & 2600 MHz (Band 38)

Other Ways to Stay Connected When Traveling in Malaysia

I would highly encourage anyone visiting Malaysia to get themselves a Malaysian SIM card – you will be saving a lot of money when you do so.

However, for some, getting a Malaysian SIM card is not an option.

For example, your device may be SIM-locked, meaning that you cannot use any other SIM card other than the SIM card provided by your operator.

There are other ways to stay online while in Malaysia, but they may not be cheap.

International Roaming

International roaming is the most convenient way to stay connected when traveling in other countries because you do not have to buy a new SIM card, have to deal with SIM card registration regulations, nor have multiple phone numbers to deal with.

However, international roaming has proven to be expensive in many cases, especially compared to buying local SIM cards.

That is why many travelers are not fond of international roaming.

International roaming has its pros and cons. However, it is important to know how it works. This in-depth guide explains it all.

Find out whether your mobile operator has attractive roaming rates for Malaysia here.

Using an International SIM Card or Travel SIM Card

International SIM cards are SIM cards made for the traveler in mind. Using them is often cheaper than international roaming.

However, they are almost always more expensive than using a local SIM card.

There are many other advantages and disadvantages of getting international SIM cards, which you can learn about here.

Using a Mobile Hotspot (Pocket WIFI)

Mobile hotspots, or pocket WIFI, are small devices that connect to the local mobile operators of the country you are visiting.

Mobile hotspots are ideal for families or those traveling in a large group, as they allow you to connect multiple devices to one hotspot without the need of each traveler having to buy a SIM card.

You can either buy a mobile hotspot or rent one.

Using Free WIFI Networks

Using free WIFI connections is the cheapest way to stay connected because they are free.

The major downside of trying to use WIFI hotspots is that you will have to locate them, and they are not available on every corner in Malaysia.

Make sure to protect your internet traffic with a VPN so that hackers cannot steal your personal data.
