Macao travel data eSIM
What is a Macao eSIM?
Landing in Macao means navigating a dense urban landscape where digital access is essential. This eSIM connects you to local networks immediately upon arrival, eliminating the need for physical SIM swaps. Whether you are exploring the historic Macau Peninsula or crossing to the Cotai reclamation zone, having immediate data access helps with navigation, translation, and booking activities without waiting for roaming activation or local store visits.
Your plan connects to CTM 5G and 3 5G networks. Data usage begins only when your device first connects in Macao. The validity period starts on that initial connection date. You can manage your data usage through the app, ensuring you stay within your selected limit while moving between the peninsula and the island districts during your stay.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which networks does this Macao eSIM use?
It connects to CTM 5G and 3 5G. This means you access local data infrastructure directly, avoiding international roaming charges while staying connected to the primary carriers serving the region.
Does this eSIM work in Zhuhai?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Macao. If you plan to visit neighbouring Zhuhai or other regions, consider a regional plan designed for multi-country travel to ensure continuous connectivity.
Which plan size suits a trip to the Peninsula and Cotai?
For a short visit to these two areas, the 3GB or 5GB plans are often sufficient as a rough guide. Heavier users relying on video streaming may prefer the 10GB option for more flexibility.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
