Basics[]
Operators[]
Malaysia has 7 mobile network operators that currently operated in the country which been classified as below:
a. 4 GSM based national network operators:
- Digi (prepaid brand: Digi Prepaid)
- Maxis (prepaid brand: Hotlink)
- Celcom (prepaid brand: Celcom Xpax)
- U Mobile (prepaid brand: Unlimited Funz Prepaid)
b. 3 further providers only operate an own 4G/LTE network:
- Yes (by YTL Communications)
- unifi (by Telekom Malaysia, on own 4G/LTE and 2G
/3Groaming on Celcom) - Altel (by Altel Communications, on own 4G/LTE and 2G
/3Groaming on Celcom)
All 3G in the country has been shut off in 2020-22, so bring a compatible 4G or 5G device.
CelcomDigi established on 30 November 2022 as a result of Celcom-Digi merger (source: https://corporate.celcomdigi.com/company/about-us)
Since 2021, a government-owned company called Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) has been tasked with developing the country's national wholesale 5G/NR network.
As of January 2024, all operators have signed agreements with DNB to allow 5G domestic roaming on the DNB network, and 5G is now open for many prepaid packages (including MVNOs).
Other operators are MVNOs which are Tune Talk, OneXOX/XOX Mobile, SpeakOut and redONE. There are some WiMAX-based network operators like AsiaSpace which are not compatible with GSM services. As of March 2023, Tune Talk, XOX and Yoodo open eSIM for prepaid packages.
Coverage[]
Coverage varies from very good in the populated areas of the peninsula to very patchy even on 2G in Borneo and other remote islands:
Operator | Coverage of Population | |
---|---|---|
4G/LTE | 5G/NR (DNB) | |
Digi | 96% | 50% |
Maxis | 94% | - |
Celcom | 96% | 50% |
U Mobile | <93% | 50% |
Coverage data supplied by the operators in 2022 Q4 financial report
U Mobile has the smallest own network, but roams on Maxis on 2G and 3G in certain areas, while building up its own 3G and 4G/LTE sites. This roaming has been phased over a period of 18 months with completion on 27 December 2018.
Yes has a >90% 4G/LTE coverage in Peninsula Malaysia only, while Webe has own 4G/LTE coverage in some cities only and Altel matches Celcom's coverage because of a roaming agreement.
According to OpenSignal in 2019, Maxis had the highest speeds on its 3G and 4G/LTE networks with speed of 24/3 Mbit/s while Celcom had the highest 4G availability across the country.
Frequencies[]
On the 4 national operators, 2G is on 900 and 1800 MHz (except on U Mobile which is 3G and 4G only) up to EDGE, 3G is on 900 and 2100 MHz up to HSPA+, and 4G/LTE on 1800 (B3) and 2600 MHz (B7) is now being rolled out nationwide. From 2017 900 MHz (B8) has been partly refarmed for LTE too and used by Digi. 800 MHz (B20) is going to be employed by all providers too. Yes operates FD-LTE and TD-LTE on 800 MHz (B20), 2300 (B40) and 2600 MHz (B38) and Webe FD-LTE on 850 MHz (B5). DNB employs the 700 MHz (B28) frequency for extended LTE coverage as well as 3500 MHz (n78) and 28 GHz (n257) for 5G/NR.
Regulations[]
Since 2006 all SIM cards must be registered. This is done at the point of purchase and the process is quick and straight forward. When the sim package is bought in a convenience store, the sim card can be activated by uploading the identification document and taking a selfie via the operator app. All networks allow tethering and VoLTE/VoIP calls.
In 2016, the national regulator (Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, MCMC) conducted an audit on dealers and agents of communication companies offering mobile cellular services in all of the country to check on the accuracy and validity of the records of subscribers taken by dealers and agents at the point of registration.
Roaming options[]
There are good options especially if travelling in South East Asia countries, and Digi even has a competitively priced offer for roaming on inflight cellular data.
More info[]
APN configurations of most Malaysian operators are now "dynamic". This means that the settings must not be left blank, but can be filled with any letter or number.
All top-ups have only very limited validity as usual in this region. A RM 30 reload normally buys you 30 days of validity with one of the major providers (a notable exception is XOX/OneXOX). This makes it quite hard to keep a SIM card alive while leaving the country for a while.
IDD prefixes[]
Like in Thailand the 4 major Malaysian network operators offer heavily discounted IDD calls. Many countries can be called even cheaper than through VoIP. Each operator has an own IDD prefix to be used. This is mentioned in the "more info" section. It needs to be entered like this: <IDD prefix> <00> <country code> <area code> <local number>.
Digi (now CelcomDigi Prepaid 5G Edisi Kuning)[]
Digi, formerly spelled as 'DiGi', is the largest network in Malaysia by consumer base today, as it overtook Maxis in 2016. It's half owned by Norwegian Telenor group. 4G/LTE has started in Kuala Lumpur in 2013 and is on par with its two rivals (see table above): coverage map. 5G/NR via DNB is now open for prepaid packages as an optional add-on costing RM 10.
After Celcom-Digi merger, Digi plans are now rebranded as CelcomDigi Prepaid 5G Edisi Kuning (source: https://www.celcomdigi.com/ms/prepaid/high-speed-5g)

Roaming offers[]
Digi offers five kinds of roaming packages for prepaid (except Prepaid Broadband), four on the ground:
- Roam5/Roam10: RM 5 or RM 10 depending on country for unlimited messaging app usage (on Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp) and 50 MB other usage per 24 hours.
- Roam 1 day: RM 15 for 500 MB internet + 10 mins valid for 24 hours in over 50 countries around the world
- Roam 3 days: RM 25 for 2 GB internet + 30 mins valid for 72 hours in 51 countries around the world
- Roam 5 days: RM 5 for 500 MB internet in Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand
- RoamTelenor: RM 25 for 4 GB internet + 60 mins valid for 72 hours on any Telenor network in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Pakistan and Myanmar, as well as Grameenphone in Bangladesh and dtac in Thailand.
- 7 Day Pass (Europe): RM 50 for 2 GB internet valid for 168 hours in Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia
A list of participating countries for each pass is available here. Note that passes except for the Europe pass are only valid per country, so if you go to another country, your pass allowances will not follow. In addition, pass usage allowances (but not time remaining) will "stack"- if you purchase a second pass of the same type and for the same country as your first pass before it expires, your allowances will accumulate and the total allowance will expire with the validity period of the second pass.
Example: You are in Denmark, and purchase a second RoamTelenor pass when your current pass with 1.5 GB internet and 24 voice minutes will expire in 18 hours. You now have 5.5 GB internet and 84 voice minutes good in Denmark for another 72 hours. However, if you go to Sweden before your pass expires, your allowances will be "left behind" in Denmark, and you will have to purchase a new pass for Sweden.
And one for inflight use on aircraft with AeroMobile (check if your airline is on the following list):
- AeroMobile roaming pass: RM 20 for 500 MB for 12 hours
All passes are activated by dialing *800# on arrival. Make sure to turn off data roaming until you have activated the pass, and select the correct network according to the list of participating countries to avoid being charged high standard rates. Especially be careful in Eastern Europe, as Telenor has sold its operations there to PPF Group and signed new roaming agreements with different operators, so the preferred network is not Telenor and RoamTelenor does not apply. If you have the MyDigi app, you can pre-book your roaming pass up to 7 days in advance of your arrival. Passes booked in this way will activate between midnight and 2 AM Malaysian time on the day you choose.
