Maxis 5G and CelcomDigi 5G cover Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi and the main West Malaysia tourist corridor with reliable data for the KLIA Ekspres train, Grab rides, Touch n Go payments at street hawkers and Agoda hotel bookings across the country. Signal holds across the entire KLCC-Petronas Towers corridor and inside the modern Suria KLCC shopping mall, drops inside the older shophouse rooms of Penang's George Town where the thick masonry walls and the original wooden shutters block reception, and weakens on the road trips through the Cameron Highlands where the forested mountain terrain and the winding hill roads reduce the line of sight to the nearest tower.
14 plans are available for Malaysia, from $3.99 up to $67.99. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.
Same plan, same coverage, wherever you go in Malaysia.
