Macau travel data guide
A Macau eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Macau that you install before you fly. Plans in Macau run on CTM and 3, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 19 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 50 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The China, Hong Kong & Macao eSIM covers Macau and 2 other countries on one plan, from $2.99. The Asia (14 countries) eSIM covers Macau and 13 other countries on one plan, from $2.99. The Asia Pacific eSIM covers Macau and 19 other countries on one plan, from $10.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Macau, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Macau from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Macau FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Macau?
It connects wherever CTM and 3 have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Macau, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Macau?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Does a Macau eSIM also work in Hong Kong?
No, a Macau plan from this page carries data in Macau only. The Asia Pacific regional plan includes Macau, so check that plan's country list if you want one eSIM for several places on the same trip.
Which networks will I be on in Macau?
The Macau eSIM connects to CTM, listed as 4G/5G, or to 3, listed as 5G. Your phone picks between them automatically. You need a 5G phone to use 5G where it is offered.
Is 1 GB enough for one day in Macau?
For most visitors, 1 GB is enough for a day in Macau spent on maps, messages and a few photo uploads. If you plan to film or share your connection, the 3 GB or 5 GB plans for 1 day give more room.
If I install the day before, does my 1 day plan expire?
No. A Macau plan starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Macau, not at install. Installing the evening before is the right way to do it, and the full day is still there when you arrive.
Can I buy the eSIM on the ferry over?
You can buy it anywhere you have a connection, since the QR code comes by email. Installing needs internet too, so it is easier to finish on WiFi before you set off for Macau.
Can my family share one Macau plan?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Macau plans, so one phone can share with the others. Everyone draws from the same data, so for a group day trip pick 3 GB or 5 GB over 1 GB.
Will I get SMS codes on the Macau eSIM?
No, the Macau eSIM has no phone number and cannot receive SMS. Codes sent by text will arrive on your own SIM as long as it stays active in the phone.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
