The main mobile operators in Macao are CTM (Companhia de Telecomunicacoes de Macau), China Telecom and 3 Macao. CTM is by far the largest and is usually rated by tests as the most reliable network, with strong coverage on the Macao peninsula, Taipa and Cotai. Since November 2024, SmarTone has shut down, leaving three networks. CTM and China Telecom offer 5G and the best overall coverage. Networks: CTM, China Telecom, 3 Macao.
For a typical city trip of a few days, a bundle of 3 to 5 GB is more than enough. If you combine Macao with Hong Kong, choose an Asia bundle that covers both regions.
Macao does not fall under the Great Firewall of mainland China, so Google, WhatsApp and Instagram work normally there, unlike in mainland China.
