Foreign visitors landing in Malaysia this year have a new way to stay connected without hunting for a SIM card or a hotel Wi-Fi password. U Mobile, the country's newest 5G network provider, has launched the ULTRA Tourist Plan, a seven-day prepaid plan built specifically for international travellers, priced at RM15.

What the ULTRA Tourist Plan includes
For RM15, the plan bundles 100GB of unlimited speed data over a seven-day window, which is enough headroom for maps, ride-hailing, translation apps, video calls home, and the steady stream of social posts that comes with a holiday. The data can also be shared through a mobile hotspot, so a single traveller can keep a tablet or a travel companion's phone online at the same time. U Mobile says the plan follows the strong response to its earlier ULTRA Tourist 24 Hour Trial.
The headline addition is a complimentary Grab Visit Malaysia 2026 Travel Pass, which U Mobile values at up to RM186 in savings. That makes U Mobile, by its own account, the first Malaysian telco to bundle a tourist mobile plan with the Grab Visit Malaysia 2026 Travel Pass, tying together two of the things visitors reach for most: mobile data and on-demand transport.
Why it matters for Visit Malaysia 2026
The timing is deliberate. Malaysia is running its Visit Malaysia 2026 tourism campaign, and connectivity is one of the first friction points a traveller hits on arrival. A prepaid plan that covers a full week, throws in a transport pass, and works for hotspot sharing is aimed squarely at short-stay tourists who want to skip the queue at a physical SIM counter and get moving.
Tourist-focused data deals in Malaysia usually compete on either price or data volume. Bundling a partner travel pass on top is a different play: it turns a mobile plan into a small travel kit, and gives U Mobile a reason to be the traveller's first pick ahead of a competitor's SIM.
Availability and price
The ULTRA Tourist Plan is available at RM15 for seven days, with 100GB of unlimited speed data and the Grab Visit Malaysia 2026 Travel Pass included. U Mobile has positioned it for international visitors travelling within Malaysia. Travellers should confirm the latest redemption steps and any eligibility details directly with U Mobile before purchase.
The takeaway
If you are visiting Malaysia and want data plus an easy way to get around, U Mobile's ULTRA Tourist Plan puts both in one RM15 package. For the operator, it is a clear bid to own the arrival moment during Visit Malaysia 2026.
