Activate your eSIM upon arrival — your internet will start working right away.
In Malaysia, you can use an eSIM to get online without needing to buy a physical SIM card. This is especially convenient for tourists, as it saves you from visiting mobile operator stores and gives you flexibility in choosing data plans.
Internet speed in Malaysia with eSIM can reach 4G LTE in most cities and popular tourist areas such as Kuala Lumpur, George Town and Malacca. However, in more remote regions the speed may be lower, so keep this in mind when planning your trips.
Most modern smartphones that support eSIM will work in Malaysia. Before your trip, make sure your device is unlocked and supports the frequency bands used by local operators such as Maxis, Celcom and Digi.
In popular tourist spots such as Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi and Penang, internet coverage is usually good. However, in more remote and rural areas, such as some parts of Borneo, you may experience issues with coverage and speed.
To activate an eSIM in Malaysia, you need to scan the QR code provided by your eSIM provider and follow the on-screen instructions. This is often more cost-effective than roaming, as local rates for data and calls can be significantly cheaper than international roaming charges. Vlex eSIM allows you to set everything up before you land, so you can connect to the Malaysian network as soon as you arrive.
QR arrived a minute after payment. Installed at home over Wi-Fi, data switched on automatically at the arrival airport.
Smooth checkout, QR in about two minutes. Not a single dropout during the trip.
Third purchase here. Pay, scan, go — still works every time.
Couldn't find the QR setting on my Samsung at first. Support replied quickly and walked me through it.
First time using an eSIM — the email guide got me set up in three minutes.
My main SIM stayed in place, bank SMS kept coming while data went through the eSIM. Handy.

Malaysia is a country with a rich culture, stunning nature and modern megacities. To stay connected, share your experiences on social media and plan your routes, you need a reliable internet connection. With an eSIM from Vlex eSIM, you can forget about overpaying for roaming and searching for local SIM cards.
Roaming from Russian operators in Malaysia can cost a lot for every gigabyte. Local SIM cards take time to purchase and activate: you need to look for them in mobile stores, show your passport and figure out tariffs in a foreign language. With eSIM you get internet access right upon arrival — no queues and no hassle.
If you plan to spend 7–14 days in Malaysia and actively use the internet for social media and navigation, we recommend choosing a 3–5 GB package. For streaming video and video calls, it’s better to choose 10 GB or an unlimited Day Pass. To calculate your data usage more precisely, use our calculator on the homepage.
eSIM is supported by devices such as: iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+, Huawei P40 Pro and most modern smartphones. Make sure your phone is not locked to a specific carrier (unlocked) before purchasing.
