eSim for travelling and data roaming — No Referrals!

[foxriver]

oh, before I forgot, while importing eSIM will required internet/WiFi, very important.

Meaning best to do it in sg right before you travel? Able to set when to activate? Or once purchased means immediately activated for the number of days alr

Yes best to import the eSIM profile into your device before travelling just in case there isn’t access to internet overseas.

Usually once you import the eSIM, the subscription starts already.

I m thinking to get a model with esim for future travel roaming. If I get either xs or 11, I just have to sign up for a esim plan with any of the esim provider right? Anything else to be done? Sorry for e question as I’m new to this esim thing.

Been using Airalo in Vietnam. Seamless and convenient. Setting up is also easy but another phone is recommended to take a picture of the generated QR code so your primary phone can scan it from the Airalo app.

Not recommended to use airalo in msia. Umobile network is bad.. barely usable..

 

[the_gryffindor]

I guess it’s Airalo for everything else and Yoodo for Malaysia then.

And guys, apart from Yoodo, there is also eSIM for Digi prepaid. However, for this you would have to set it up at the retail shop.

Spent RM8.00 to get the physical SIM card, inside comes with a RM5.00 value. Then the staff will help you convert your physical sim to eSIM, and the QR code will be sent to your email (you have to key in your email into the system).

This is where you need 2 devices. One to show/take picture of the QR code in the email. Scan it and let it do the setup, and done.

Best is to download the Digi app and register an account. From there can manage the balance, the data plan to select and etc.

RM1 to extend the validity/active of the number for about 90 days, so it wouldn’t be terminated, just expired.

Some of the plans:

RM8 to get a new prepaid sim? That day I asked the staff, they said RM35.

Same applies as like the physical prepaid card.

Spoiler

Whenever you topup or extend the validity for RM1, it extends or renews the expiry date + the balance and keeps the number active to buy data and/or voice plans.

Once it expires, you will be unable to buy the plans. So either you topup or extend the validity (RM1).

Otherwise, after 90 days from expiry date, the number/line will be terminated.

Yes, for RM8.

Realised that some are inconsistent and would upsell the RM35.

Edit: The RM8 prepaid are usually outside of JB Sentral, KSL and Tebrau.

Digi Prepaid

Any expiry for the digi esim?

Just double-check with the staff if it's a Digi Live Prepaid.

There's another Digi Prepaid Best that has 75 instead of 90 days' grace period. It's no longer available in most shops but a very(?) small number still has it and theirs will activate as Best. I just got one few months' back, but I think there's still an option to switch to the other via their USSD code, if you want...

Can check their Digi Community forum if you need more info on their other differences.

Next time you're quoted anything above the RRP, ask the staff what the package includes. Most will come with a 30-day data package, how much data will depend on the price quoted. Many dealers sell with an included data pack.

If you just want the basic pack, go only to the specific shops or Digi Center/Store.

I went to the Digi shop at City Square. Wanted to pull the trigger but luckily I didn’t. Thank you! Shall show them this photo instead.

The photo you show is e-sim?

Yes, for RM8.

Look properly at their signboard next time you're there in City Square, I believe you'll see Digi Store Express and not just Digi Store.

All dealers including Digi Store Express normally sell with a (data) package intact. It's convenient if you need that much data and don't mind paying a little more instead of running around hunting for the RM8 pack.

AFAIK within walking distance of JB CIQ, only the 2 newsagents in Komtar JBCC and R&F Mall sell their prepaid pack at RRP, IF they still have stock. If you drive, go to Digi Store/Center in Danga Bay. If you're heading north, stop at Yong Peng's rest stop, either Ming Ang or Lucky Garden.

*Note: I've no idea which of the above will/can give you the e-SIM other than Digi Store/Center.

Can use for Europe? By when must it be used and also how many days before the 1gb expires?
