Will the eSIM work when I land at Senai Airport?

Yes. Activate before you fly and your phone connects automatically to Maxis, CelcomDigi or U Mobile as you arrive at JHB, so Grab and directions into Johor Bahru or LEGOLAND are ready before you leave the terminal.

Can I use the same eSIM for the rest of Malaysia?

Yes. It's a single national plan, so the same eSIM works in Johor Bahru, on a Malacca stop up the coast and all the way to KL. One allowance covers the whole country.

Good to know in Johor Bahru

Crossing to Singapore? Your eSIM covers the JB side and the Causeway toll via Touch 'n Go, but stops at the border — the KTMB Shuttle Tebrau train or Causeway Link buses are fastest, and you'll need separate data in Singapore.

Two simple ways to buy

Johor Bahru eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Johor Bahru eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Johor Bahru — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Best value for lighter, shorter trips
Clear allowance — pay only for what you need

Johor Bahru eSIM: your local data guide.

Johor Bahru is Malaysia's border city with Singapore — LEGOLAND Malaysia at Iskandar Puteri, the Johor Premium Outlets, JB Sentral's markets and the busy Causeway crossing. A Johor Bahru eSIM keeps maps, Grab and border-queue updates live from the moment you land at Senai, whether you're theme-parking with the family or hopping across to Singapore for the day.

One eSIM for Johor Bahru and all of Malaysia. It's the national Malaysia eSIM — from $2.80/day with unlimited data, working the same in Johor Bahru as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at Senai International Airport (JHB)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.

Peace of mind

Your Johor Bahru eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Johor Bahru eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Johor Bahru, no swapping your real SIM out.

Keep your number & WhatsApp

The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

One thing worth knowing

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.

Before you fly

Johor Bahru eSIM questions, answered.

No. This is a Malaysia plan, so it gives data on the JB side and the Causeway toll, but not in Singapore itself. You'll need a separate Singapore eSIM or roaming once you clear the border checkpoint.
