Thank you so much for this. I arrived in KL two weeks ago and this video was so helpful. I didn’t realise there were different speeds. Because of you I purchased the best deal ( in terms of speed and allowance) and great tip to buy before passport control rather than after it. Thanks!!!
We went with TuneTalk and went for the 15GB for RM30 and paid by cash. The lady helped install and activate the SIM card, which is a first so great service from Tunetalk!
Hotlink and maxis are expensive but their coverage are pretty good in malaysia where they support network in small towns compared to digi and other telcos. Good one if u are a travelling person in malaysia
Such an amazing video and a detailed explanation of which sim card is the best. Thank you! Do you have any recommendations or videos on where to exchange money USD or EURO in Kuala Lumpur airport or outside of the airport?
At the end cash is needed somewhere always. So i could just use one of the ATM before buying a Sim card right.... We're going to KK in February. I guess it's the same there. We will get a Sim card for a week and then pay with cash from ATM.
Celcome works well in klcc, but I had bad experience, the celcome shop at terminal 1 refused to give me sim , he said I have pre-booked the sim and the address to obtain is terminal 2, so I had to travel from terminal 1 to terminal 2, and a lot of time was wasted
Hello, Great video. Can I buy a SIM Card in Malasya that also works in Batam Island/Indonesia ? Thank you so much for your assistance. Keep the great job !
But you said that before passport control hotlink was 18 mbps for the most expensive plan. How is that the hotlink plan you bought after customs is 30 mpbs?
Great video the Tune Talk sim looks to be the best one, I imagine they have atms nearby to get cash to buy one, also as I already have 2 sims in my phone and don't really want to take one out to get lost can you use their sims in a mifi or do they sell esims Thanks
Hi great video! Are there any places to buy sim cards in the transfer area if im transiting through KLIA. Or am i able to buy sim before immigration then go back up to my next terminal?
Hi Tom - I am going to a remote island where they have told me that Celcom is the way to go for here - any Celcom advice from anyone ? I am happy to get the sim card anywhere in KL upon arrival. It doesn't have to be at the airport .. thanks everyone !
Hi, a Malaysian and an ex Celcom user here. Yes they have the best coverage in our country. But talking about the internet surfing experience, it has been an issue for some Malaysians nowadays, specifically during the night. If you prefer having better internet speeds and better latency, Maxis and Yes are the ways to go. But the downside when using Yes network is that minimum coverage supports only from 4G and above.
You might opt for a Digi sim card as well, better latency too but since they merge the network with Celcom (which became CelcomDigi at the end), you know what's the answer.
Fantastic info, super helpful thank you! Is there currency exchange or ATM in the airport where you could've gotten RM to pay for the cheaper options? (unless you don't recommend getting $$ at the airport)
Did I hear 30 Mbps high speed correctly? That doesn't sound fast by today's standards though it does not surprise me because I heard on the news the other day that the government is going to roll out its 5G network this year. That implies that 5G (super high speed coverage) isn't nationwide in Malaysia just yet.
Im using celcom. before this Rm35, now rm38 for unlimited internet n call. This package is more than enough. U can watch UA-cam for 24hours a day with no buffering without worry bout' internet quota. 30Gb can be finished in a week for me. High-speed internet with less quota is not my fav.
Yes only if you pick up a celcom or digi sim it is a 98 rm add on allows you to use your plan in Europe, Asia, middle east and North America yes it is on the prepaid. On mvnos it is more expensive. It lasts 30 days.
I’m going to malaysia next month, kindly share your experience with sim cards, do they have unlimited packages for month, because I’m kind of mobile sticky person😅 i need lots of Data
"Tune talk is good and Bluecube only accept cash" By far the more logical way to express this is to say which carriers actually offer credit card opportunities. Extremely confusing communication choice, that offers far more frustration than value add.
Thank you so much for this. I arrived in KL two weeks ago and this video was so helpful. I didn’t realise there were different speeds. Because of you I purchased the best deal ( in terms of speed and allowance) and great tip to buy before passport control rather than after it. Thanks!!!
What did you use? And how was it.
We went with TuneTalk and went for the 15GB for RM30 and paid by cash. The lady helped install and activate the SIM card, which is a first so great service from Tunetalk!
This is everything I needed to know because I’m visiting KL in 3days. Very informative and easy to understand. Keep up the good work!!
Did you find a good one? And is tunetalk reliable?
Yes I bought a tunetalk sim with unlimited date for MYR30. Unless you go to the countryside it works fine.
@@nao71483does it have coverage in Langkawi? And what docs are required to buy?
Hotlink and maxis are expensive but their coverage are pretty good in malaysia where they support network in small towns compared to digi and other telcos. Good one if u are a travelling person in malaysia
Thanks love the have this extra info from a local expert. Really appreciate your input
i will go to Malaysia tomorrow, for 5 days. can u recommend which simcard is good and worth it?
can i buy hotlink or tunetalk online? do they have e-simcard?
always choose unlimited plan +speed! from my exp as malaysian, celcom so far the best (btw i'm using maxis and digi as well).
Thanks for the input
Thank you for this comment will buy celecom for our trip this march 10th!
Thanks for the comprehensive advice that even an oldy can understand!
Thanks for this, very useful and have taken a few notes for the sim cards for when we travel to Kuala Lumpur in March.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks
@TravelTomTom very helpful thank you. Can't wait to go.

Great video Tom, and very useful tip about Grab vs train ticket price, thank you!
Thank you, this is very helpful. Great video!
Thanks a lot! Very informative!
Such an amazing video and a detailed explanation of which sim card is the best. Thank you! Do you have any recommendations or videos on where to exchange money USD or EURO in Kuala Lumpur airport or outside of the airport?
i would take the bus to the city for rm12 and enjoy the scenery, no rush
Oh sounds great
Thank you so much! Im going there next month, guess i will be buying the sim after passport control!

Thank you
Tom, I from Johor bahru 🇲🇾. Welcome to visit my country.
Thank you so much I really like it
@@TravelTomTom where your from 🤔
Such an awesome + helpful video! Are these stands open 24/7?
A normal user just need 3mbps you can't expect 1 Gbps from a budget one week travel 4:30
Great content bro - thank you.
If we take any eSIM, how many minutes or time will it take to activate ?
At the end cash is needed somewhere always. So i could just use one of the ATM before buying a Sim card right....
We're going to KK in February. I guess it's the same there. We will get a Sim card for a week and then pay with cash from ATM.
Yes that is possible
Dude of course you want to throw a little cash for a cheap SIM card. That being said, this was excellent. Thank you
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Thanks for the nice words
@@TravelTomTom 😁
EXCELLENT VIDEO BRO!!!!

Thanks for the video! 😊
You're welcome 😊
Fantastic video,thanks a bunch.

Tune Talk accepts credit cards now
Ok good to know
great vid as always!!
Thanks a lot

My pleasure 😊
Hi Traveltomtom, is this sim card store in KLIA terminal 1?
Hello,
Great video.
Can I buy a SIM Card in Malasya that also works in Batam Island/Indonesia ?
Thank you so much for your assistance.
Keep the great job !
Does terminal 1 have this Sir
Thank you so much for making this video!
What's your tip on money exchange? There's not much video for Malaysia money exchange.
But you said that before passport control hotlink was 18 mbps for the most expensive plan. How is that the hotlink plan you bought after customs is 30 mpbs?
so maxis hotlink more expensive plan for the win? $2 extra is stretching my budget!
Thanks for information
Amazing video!!!
Thank you!!
Tune accept credit cards and it seems the RM40 comes with 35gb
Very helpful, thanks !
Glad it was helpful!
Hi.
Do you know if they sell / rent pocket wifi devices at any of these outlets KL airport ?? . Thankyou 😊
Can I order a Digi sim card and pick it up at Kuala Lumpur Int? If yes, how do I do it?
Does this sim work in Penang and Langkawi?
Great video the Tune Talk sim looks to be the best one, I imagine they have atms nearby to get cash to buy one, also as I already have 2 sims in my phone and don't really want to take one out to get lost can you use their sims in a mifi or do they sell esims Thanks
Are there stores in the airport that sell cellphones or mobile hot-spot devices? How popular is skype or whatsapp?
Surely there’s ATMs nearby in the airport?
Hi great video! Are there any places to buy sim cards in the transfer area if im transiting through KLIA. Or am i able to buy sim before immigration then go back up to my next terminal?
Yes see the video. The sim card shops are before passport control. So must be possible

Welcome to Malaysia sir 🥰
Thank youuuu
Fantastic info, super helpful thank you! Is there currency exchange or ATM in the airport where you could've gotten RM to pay for the cheaper options? (unless you don't recommend getting $$ at the airport)
Haha you didnt watch the end of the video
@@TravelTomTom i did! And noticed that you just went for the more $$ option cuz you had no cash 😝
Thanks for sharing.
Do you know if celecom and rest of the tourist sim can be use in a 4G router ?
No ATM after passport control? Thanks for vid, gonna be there tomorrow!
Does it come with a local number that you can call the hotel with ??
Thanks for this! Can I ask wherther this was in KLIA1 or KLIA2?
This is at KLIA1 the main international airport not the low-cost one
Hey there, did the Tourist SIM give you a local phone number so you could use Grab etc? Thanks!
Did I hear 30 Mbps high speed correctly? That doesn't sound fast by today's standards though it does not surprise me because I heard on the news the other day that the government is going to roll out its 5G network this year. That implies that 5G (super high speed coverage) isn't nationwide in Malaysia just yet.
Yeah but that doesnt count for prepaid sim cards for tourists in most cases
How long it takes for the sim internet to get activated?
my phone only got one sim card slot and an e-sim so is there any e-sim that tourists can buy?
U mobile is the best deal over 1 months Rm38 6 mbs unlimited
Haha but there internet speed is 3Mbps where others offer 30Mbps
Im using celcom. before this Rm35, now rm38 for unlimited internet n call. This package is more than enough. U can watch UA-cam for 24hours a day with no buffering without worry bout' internet quota. 30Gb can be finished in a week for me. High-speed internet with less quota is not my fav.
Yes is better at Rm30 for 7mbps unlimited for 1 month. But lesser coverage than umobile.
This sim card can use two country Malaysia and Singapore?
Some can roam. But mostly no
Great video and great prices,
What are the differences for coverage between the sims?
Cheers and keep it up
See the link in description. There you will find a comparison of the 4G/5G coverage maps of Malaysia
What about phone calls? Do you get a malaysian phone number as well?
where they sell Celcom sims?
In KL city center I am sure you can find
Hy bro if I came from Pakistan 🇵🇰 to Malaysia my mobile working or not I have iPhone LL USA 🇺🇸 mad
What is the best option simcard or wifi,?
Always sim card of course. Wifi is not yours
@@TravelTomTom Thank you
Nice thank u for the information, can u pay with euro's by Tune Talk after the immigration
Make an educated guess. ;) this is Malaysia, no they do NOT except Euros
Please what does unlimited data means
What about talk Minutes?
Do you know if you can also use these Sims in Singapore/Thailand too?
Yes only if you pick up a celcom or digi sim it is a 98 rm add on allows you to use your plan in Europe, Asia, middle east and North America yes it is on the prepaid. On mvnos it is more expensive. It lasts 30 days.
thank you
Thanks a lot for sharing

"Tune talk is good and Bluecube only accept cash"
By far the more logical way to express this is to say which carriers actually offer credit card opportunities.
Extremely confusing communication choice, that offers far more frustration than value add.
