Frequently asked questions

How much does the Malaysia eSIM cost?

The Malaysia 5GB/Day plan costs $4.38 for 5 GB/day over 1 days, paid once with no hidden fees.

How do I activate my Malaysia eSIM?

Scan the QR code in your phone settings (Cellular/Mobile → Add eSIM) or tap Install in the GotoeSIM app. Install on Wi-Fi before your trip; it activates when you arrive in Malaysia.

Will this eSIM work on my phone?

It works on any eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone — iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models.

Can I keep my regular number?
