Malaysia SIM Card

The prepaid SIM card for Malaysia with a world cell phone is the most convenient and economical solution for staying in touch while in Malaysia. All incoming calls while in Malaysia are FREE, regardless of where they originate. Pay the local rate for local calls and use your cellular phone in Malaysia like you do at home. And unlike home, your Malaysia SIM card and cell phone service is prepaid so there is no need for a contract.

For more information please refer to the User guide that comes with your package.

Please Note:
Your Malaysia SIM Card (Celcom) will require a SIM-unlocked GSM 900 / 1800 compatible international cell phone. If you do not have your own international cell phone, we have several models available for rental or purchase.

If you have a locked compatible GSM phone, you can easily unlock it. To do so, visit www.unlockingcodesforphones.com
