FAQ

Q. Airport SIM vs eSIM bought abroad — which is cheaper?
A. Similar for 1–2 weeks, but airport Tourist SIM is far cheaper for ~30 days (RM35–60 for 50GB+). For 1–3 day business trips, eSIM (Airalo 7-day 1GB ≈ RM25) is the lower-friction choice.
Q. Do I need a passport for a tourist SIM?
A. Yes — Malaysian law requires passport KYC for any foreign-issued SIM. Counters do this in person; some eSIM providers (Airalo / Holafly) handle it via app.
Q. What is FUP (Fair Use Policy)?
A. Even 'unlimited' plans throttle to 6–12 Mbps after a data threshold. Hotlink and U Mobile tourist plans throttle aggressively — choose 5G 50GB plans like Tune Talk Epik+35 for heavy streaming or tethering.
