What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone.

Instead of inserting or swapping a physical SIM card, you install your TRUE eSIM digitally and use it to connect to mobile data while travelling.

No SIM swapping. No searching for a SIM shop when you land.

Is my phone compatible with eSIM?

Your device must:

  • Support eSIM technology
  • Be network/carrier unlocked
  • Support the network requirements of your chosen plan

We recommend checking your device before purchasing.

When should I install my eSIM?

We recommend installing your eSIM before you travel, while you have a reliable Wi-Fi connection.

This means everything is ready before your trip and you won't have to rely on airport or hotel Wi-Fi to complete the installation.

Does installing my eSIM start my plan?

Installation and activation are different.

Installing adds the eSIM to your phone.

Activation is when your eSIM begins connecting to the supported network according to your plan's activation policy.

Your plan will activate only when connected overseas. To activate it turn on Data Roaming when you arrive at your destination.

What should I do when I arrive?

Once you reach your destination:

  1. Turn on your TRUE eSIM
  2. Select TRUE eSIM for mobile data
  3. Enable Data Roaming for your TRUE eSIM
  4. Make sure your primary SIM isn't being used for mobile data

Your phone should then connect to a supported local network.

Can I keep my Malaysian SIM active?

Yes, if your phone supports Dual SIM.

You can use your TRUE eSIM for mobile data while keeping your usual SIM available for calls or SMS.

Just remember that your home mobile provider may charge roaming fees for calls, SMS or other services used overseas, so check their charges before travelling.

Will my WhatsApp number change?

No.

Using TRUE eSIM for mobile data does not automatically change the phone number registered to your WhatsApp account.

You can continue using WhatsApp with your existing number while we provide your internet connection.
