SIMBA Malaysia roaming: Price and how to activate
Check available SIMBA Malaysia roaming plans, pay-per-use rates, and learn how to activate roaming before your trip.
Planning to use your SIMBA mobile plan in Malaysia? Roaming is possible, but how it works and what it costs depends on your plan type and how you activate it.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through SIMBA’s Malaysia roaming options for prepaid and postpaid users, including pricing, activation steps, and coverage.
We’ll also introduce Holafly’s eSIM for Malaysia, an alternative to SIMBA roaming offering unlimited data and instant setup.
Avoid excessive roaming fees
Don't get caught out by data roaming charges in Malaysia. Use local networks at local rates.
Can I use SIMBA roaming in Malaysia?
Yes, you can use SIMBA roaming in Malaysia. All SIMBA prepaid and postpaid plans include Malaysia as part of the local data zone, so your main data allowance can be used there without extra roaming charges. If your plan also includes roaming data, SIMBA follows this usage priority:
- Main Data: Used first while in Malaysia.
- APAC Roaming: Kicks in once your local data is fully consumed.
- Pay-per-use: Activated only if all roaming data is depleted.
This helps prevent unexpected charges, as long as you monitor your usage and plan ahead. You don’t need to change your SIM or adjust any settings; SIMBA connects to a local Malaysian network automatically when you land.
