Coverage & network in Macau
Arriving in Macau with no data is the expensive way to travel. An eSIM fixes that in about two minutes: install before you fly, turn on data roaming for the travel line after you land.
Plan sizes on this page run from short-stay allowances to remote-work territory. Count 100–200 MB a day for maps and messaging, and 1 GB an hour once video is involved.
Where 5G has been rolled out in Macau you’ll get it on 5G-marked plans; everywhere else the eSIM runs on 4G/LTE. Both are far more than maps and messaging need. Tethering is allowed on every Macau plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Crossing borders on the same trip? The Asia plan covers much of the region on one profile. Otherwise there are separate plans for Indonesia, Japan and Kazakhstan.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Macau plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email within minutes — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.

Macau eSIM questions
Which network does the Macau eSIM use?
We don't publish a single operator name for Macau, because the profile can attach to more than one partner network and picks whichever is strongest where you are. In practice that means you get the best available signal rather than being locked to one operator's weak spots.
Will I get 5G in Macau?
On plans marked 5G, yes — where the network has deployed it and your phone supports it. Outside those areas the eSIM falls back to 4G/LTE automatically; you won't need to change any setting.
How much data do I actually need for Macau?
Count on 100–200 MB a day if you're mostly using maps and messaging, and 1 GB an hour once video is involved. Pick the plan one size up from your estimate — running out abroad costs more hassle than the size difference.
When does my Macau plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Macau, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the validity period on the plan you choose runs from arrival, not from checkout.
Can I use my Macau eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Macau plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in Macau?
Yes. Nothing is removed from your phone. The Macau profile is added as a second line and set as the one used for data, while your usual number keeps receiving calls, texts and bank verification codes. Switch data roaming off on the home line before you fly.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Macau eSIM?
No. The plan roams on partner networks, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in Macau?
You can buy another Macau plan from the same page and install it the same way. Plans marked as top-up capable can also be extended without a new QR code.
I'm also visiting Indonesia and Japan — do I need separate eSIMs?
Not necessarily. The Asia plan covers much of the region including Macau on a single profile. If Macau is the bulk of the trip, a country plan is usually the better buy; if you're crossing several borders, the regional plan wins.
Will my phone work with a Macau eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
