Purchase a Malaysia SIM card to get Free wifi in Genting

If you want to have internet access while on the move then you have to purchase a SIM card.

You can purchase a Malaysia SIM card at Sky Avenue level 3 and there are four telcos for you to choose.

  • Digi Telecommunications T2B-31A
  • Maxis T2B-12
  • U Mobile T2C-01A & 01B
  • Celcom Xpax T2B-12A

Usually, I will buy a Digi SIM card from Yong Peng when the coach stops there for a 20 minutes toilet break. There are two reasons: One is that I can have internet access way before I reached Genting Malaysia and when my room is ready they will give me an SMS. The second reason is, they will not ask for my passport when I purchase the SIM card. If you buy the SIM card from one of the stores above, they will need to take a photo of your passport for tracking purposes.

You can check the pricing below.

Since I only stay in Malaysia for 4 days so I only bought the 2GB Travellers card for 7 days at RM21. In this card, besides the 2GB data, you also get 500MB for free basic internet and 1GB per day free data usage on Wechat, WhatsApp and Facebook. In the worst case, I still can use the free wifi at the hotel lobby.

The speed of the internet is quite alright, where you can get a smooth speed surfing Facebook and Youtube.
