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.
Plans run from $6 for 1 GB over 7 days up to $45.50 for 20 GB over 30 days. The 1 GB plan is a short-stay or backup option; anything longer than a long weekend is better served by 5 GB.
Where 5G has been rolled out you’ll get it; everywhere else the plan runs on 4G/LTE. Both are far more than maps and messaging need — the difference only shows on large downloads. 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 29 destinations on one profile from $11.50. Otherwise there are separate plans for South Korea from $5.50, Sri Lanka from $10.50 and Taiwan from $5.50.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Macau plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email in seconds — 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.
Travelling beyond Macau?
One Asia plan covers 29 countries from $11.50 — worth it from the third border.
Macau eSIM questions
Which network does the Macau eSIM use?
CTM. It is one of Macau's main mobile networks, so coverage matches what local subscribers get rather than a thin roaming-only footprint.
Will I get 5G in Macau?
Yes, where CTM 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. That puts a long weekend in Macau at 1–3 GB (from $6) and a two-week trip nearer 5–10 GB.
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 1 GB plan then gives you 7 days from arrival and the larger plans 30 days.
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 a partner network, 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 top up from the same page — buy another Macau plan and it queues behind the current one on the same eSIM profile. There's no need to reinstall anything or scan a second QR code.
I'm also visiting South Korea and Sri Lanka — do I need separate eSIMs?
Not necessarily. The Asia plan covers 29 destinations including Macau on a single profile from $11.50. If Macau is the bulk of the trip, a country plan plus a top-up is usually cheaper; 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.
