What’s the difference between the prepaid SIM packs offered here and that retailed in Malaysia?
There is no difference between these. For your convenience, we have imported Celcom SIM packs from Malaysia back to Singapore so that you can get them before you depart and able to use it once you arrive.

 

Do I get a Malaysia mobile number straight away?
Yes, you will find your Malaysia mobile number on the Celcom SIM pack inside the kit.

 

Is the Celcom SIM compatible with my phone?
If you normally use your Singapore number in your phone, you will be able to use the Celcom SIM in it. Otherwise, if you’ve purchased your phone outside of Singapore, please ensure that your phone is not SIM-locked, else you will not be able to use any other SIM cards in your card other than that issue by your original telco operator.

 

Is the Celcom SIM compatible with devices using micro / nano SIMs?
Yes, it is. The Celcom SIM card comes as a tri-sized SIM (normal / micro / nano size) and is immediately usable in your device.

 

What do I need to do after I purchase the prepaid SIM card? Do I need to register it?
After purchasing the SIM card, it must be registered (as per Malaysia regulatory requirements) before it can be used. Registration may be done via email to our handling agent (as per instructions found in the kit and may take 1 to 2 working days to complete) or if you are in Malaysia, at any Celcom / Blue Cube outlets across Malaysia. The SIM card will then be activated when you make your first call in Malaysia.

 

I’ve registered my SIM card but the network does not register? Is something wrong? (I am currently in Singapore)
If you’re still in Singapore, you will not be able to use the Celcom SIM card. The first call must be made from Malaysia.

 

How do I call Singapore from Malaysia with the Celcom SIM?
Call Singapore directly by adding + in front of your destination number, e.g. +65 xxxxxxxx with Celcom’s IDD service at a special rate of S$0.12 / minute (subject to change from Celcom).
