Does the eSIM cover both Malacca and Kuala Lumpur?

Yes. It's a single national Malaysia plan, so one allowance covers your time in Kuala Lumpur, the journey south and your stay in Malacca — no need for a separate SIM when you day-trip or move between cities.

Do I need mobile data for the Jonker Street market?

It helps a lot. Many Jonker Walk stalls and cafes prefer cashless QR payment through Touch 'n Go or bank apps, and you'll want maps and reviews to navigate the crowds, so keep your data on.

Good to know in Malacca

Malacca sits roughly two hours by coach from Kuala Lumpur, where the same eSIM already works. The old town is walkable, but Grab is easiest after dark, and Jonker Walk stalls often take Touch 'n Go QR payment.

Two simple ways to buy

Malacca eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Malacca eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Malacca — 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.

Malacca eSIM: your local data guide.

Malacca packs its history into a walkable old town — the crimson Stadthuys at Dutch Square, the ruins of A Famosa and St Paul's Hill, and Jonker Street's weekend night market. A Malacca eSIM keeps maps, Grab and translation live from the start, useful for booking a Melaka River cruise or paying at cashless Jonker stalls.

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

Landing at Melaka International Airport (MKZ)?

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 Malacca eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Malacca eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Malacca, 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

Malacca eSIM questions, answered.

Melaka International Airport (MKZ) has very limited flights, so most travellers fly into Kuala Lumpur International and take a two-hour coach or Grab to Malacca. The same national eSIM already works the moment you land at KLIA.
