eSIM by countryThe best eSIM for Malaysia
Malaysia is split into two parts with quite different coverage: the busy peninsula with Kuala Lumpur and Penang, and the much wilder Borneo with Sabah and Sarawak. Choose your eSIM plan with that difference in mind.
Practical tips
- On the peninsula (Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi) coverage is excellent and fast everywhere
- On Borneo (Sabah, Sarawak) coverage drops off noticeably outside the cities, especially on diving and jungle trips
- Grab works well for transport and food in the major cities, on the islands options are more limited
