Maxis eSIM for Malaysia

Can I get a Maxis eSIM for my trip?

You don't need a local contract, an ID check or a shop visit. A JamboSim Malaysia eSIM connects to Maxis's network the moment you land: buy it online, scan the QR once, from $4.50 and with no roaming bills.

About Maxis

Maxis is a major Malaysia mobile operator, with strong coverage across cities and popular travel destinations.

When you activate a JamboSim Malaysia eSIM, your phone connects to Maxis (or another supported local network) the moment you arrive, no app install, no manual APN setup. You keep your regular number on WhatsApp and iMessage while data runs on the local network.

Why travellers choose Maxis

Nationwide 5G / 4G LTE

Maxis operates a modern 5G network across Malaysia's major cities, with 4G LTE everywhere else.

Instant activation

Buy now, scan once, your Malaysia eSIM activates automatically when you land.

Travel-friendly coverage

Tested on the routes travellers actually use, airports, hotels, transit hubs and tourist districts.

Auto-connects via JamboSim

Your eSIM picks Maxis automatically where available, and falls back to other supported networks seamlessly.

Travelling to Malaysia from the UK, US or Ireland?

Most UK and US plans treat Malaysia as a rest-of-world destination, so data outside your bundle is billed per megabyte. A JamboSim eSIM on Maxis replaces that with one price you pay before you fly.

Cheaper than your home roaming

EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three, and in the US Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, all charge a daily or per-MB rate for Malaysia. Your Maxis data runs on a local plan instead, with no bill shock when you get home.

No local SIM shop, no ID checks

Buying a Maxis SIM in Malaysia usually means a passport copy, a registration form and a queue at the airport. The eSIM is installed before departure and connects on landing.

English support, prices in GBP or USD

You pay in your own currency and our support team answers in English, seven days a week, including install help for Maxis.
