Everyday data in Malaysia
In Malaysia the plan uses the Maxis and CelcomDigi networks, two of the largest operators in the country. Coverage is usually good in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi and other big towns. In the rainforest, in Borneo's national parks, on the Cameron Highlands roads and on small islands such as the Perhentians the connection can weaken.
There is a lot to use data for. Grab is the usual way to book a taxi or order food, and Waze is the navigation app locals favour, although Google Maps works too. Many local businesses take bookings on WhatsApp.
A local SIM can be bought at the airport against your passport, but queues and registration take time. The eSIM is installed at home beforehand and your own SIM stays in the phone, so banking codes and calls home keep working. On a longer trip to Borneo or the peninsula you will use more data, so choose a plan to suit the length of your journey. A small plan will do for a short city break, and the hotel wifi often covers the room.
