The major networks in Malaysia are CelcomDigi, Maxis (Hotlink) and U Mobile. CelcomDigi and Maxis have the broadest 4G coverage, nationally around 94 to 96 percent, and also perform best on Borneo. U Mobile is cheaper but weaker in the countryside. In remote parts of Sabah and Sarawak, coverage can be patchy. Networks: CelcomDigi, Maxis, U Mobile.
For a trip with navigation, social media and maps, around 1 GB per day is enough. Those travelling to Borneo or remote nature are better off choosing a network with broad coverage such as CelcomDigi or Maxis.
On Borneo (Sabah and Sarawak) and smaller islands, coverage outside the cities can be patchy; CelcomDigi and Maxis give the best chance of reception there.
