Does an eSIM work in Brunei Darussalam?

Yes. Our Brunei Darussalam plans connect to the country’s established mobile operators, so you get the same 4G and 5G service as a local prepaid customer in Bandar Seri Begawan and elsewhere. You need an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone.

How much data do I need for Brunei Darussalam?

For a week of maps, messaging, social media and occasional browsing, 3–5 GB is usually comfortable. Add more if you plan to make video calls, stream, or tether a laptop. We currently list 12 plans for Brunei Darussalam, so you can start small and buy again if you run out rather than overbuying up front.

When does my Brunei Darussalam eSIM start?

The validity period starts when the eSIM first registers on a network in Brunei Darussalam, not when you buy it. Install it at home over Wi-Fi and switch it on after you land — that way you lose none of the days you paid for.

Can I keep my own phone number?

Yes. The eSIM is a second line: your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps receiving calls and SMS, including bank verification codes, while the eSIM carries the data. Turn data roaming off on your home line so it cannot bill you in the background.

Do WhatsApp and my usual apps work?

They work as normal. This is a data plan, so anything that runs over the internet — WhatsApp, Google Maps, ride-hailing, email, streaming — behaves exactly as it does at home, and your accounts stay signed in because your phone number does not change.

Can I share the connection with a hotspot?

On plans that list hotspot support, yes — the plan page says so before you buy. It is the usual way to get a laptop or a travelling companion online without a second eSIM.

Which phones support eSIM?

iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z and Note models, among others. The phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Our device list has the full set — check it before buying if you are unsure.

Coverage in Brunei Darussalam

Our Brunei Darussalam plans run on the country’s established mobile operators, which is why coverage in Bandar Seri Begawan and around Bandar Seri Begawan is the same 4G and 5G service a local subscriber gets. Signal follows the population, as it does everywhere: cities and main roads are well served, and remote areas depend on the operator your plan connects to. The exact network is shown on each plan before you buy.

Choosing a Brunei Darussalam data plan

There are 12 plans for Brunei Darussalam on sale right now, in 500 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 3 GB, 5 GB und 10 GB sizes and valid for 1–365 days. Pick by trip length first and data second: a week of maps, messaging and the occasional upload is comfortable on a few gigabytes, while video calls home or tethering a laptop will move you up a tier. Every plan is prepaid, so there is nothing to cancel and no bill after you leave.

Installing your Brunei Darussalam eSIM

After checkout you get a QR code by email and in your account. Scan it from your phone’s mobile-data settings while you are still on Wi-Fi — installation needs a connection, which is exactly what you will not have on arrival. The profile then sits dormant on your phone until you reach Brunei Darussalam and switch it on. Install before you fly; the plan itself starts when the network first registers you, not when you buy.

What to expect on the ground

The local currency is BND and the main languages are Malay, so translation and payment apps are usually the first things travellers reach for — both are light on data. Keep your home number reachable for bank verification codes: the eSIM carries the data and your original SIM stays active for SMS on the same handset. Hotspot sharing works on the plans that list it, which covers a laptop or a travelling companion without a second purchase.
