How do I activate International Roaming on my mobile phone?
For Hotlink Prepaid customers, international data roaming is automatically activated when you activate your SIM. You don’t need to perform any additional setup. Once you arrive overseas, your phone will connect to an available partner network, and you may immediately begin using roaming data.
For Hotlink Postpaid customers, you can activate international data roaming at any time, whether you are in Malaysia or overseas, via Easy Menu:
- Dial *100#
- Select Intl Roaming
- Select Any Country
- Select Intl Roaming again
- Select ON
Once activated, your device will use the partner network at your destination, allowing you to make calls, send SMS, and use roaming data according to your selected roaming plan or pay-per-use rates.
Do I need to pay any fee for subscribing to International Roaming service on my mobile phone?
No. There is no subscription fee for activating international data roaming. You only pay for actual usage, either on a pay-per-use basis or through specific roaming plan passes (such as DataRoam Passes). Activation itself is completely free for both prepaid and postpaid users.
Can I still turn on the International Roaming service when I am already abroad?
Yes. Hotlink Prepaid customers have data roaming enabled by default, so you can turn it on in your phone settings and start using data immediately upon landing. Hotlink Postpaid customers can also activate international data roaming from overseas using the Easy Menu:
- Dial *100#
- Select Intl Roaming
- Select Any Country
- Select Intl Roaming again
- Select ON
Your phone will reconnect to the supported local network, enabling calls, SMS, and roaming data based on your roaming plan.

Once enabled, you can browse, stream, hotspot, and stay connected overseas using your existing quota.
Are there any charges for voice calls and SMS while roaming?
Yes. Voice calls and SMS while roaming are charged based on the country you are visiting. Rates vary depending on the network operator you connect to. Here’s how you can check the exact call/SMS/data rates for your destination.
- Open the Hotlink international roaming page.
- Use the country dropdown.
- Pick your destination.
- The page instantly shows all call, SMS, and international data roaming rates.
This allows you to confirm all charges before making calls or sending SMS abroad.
Can I use 5G while roaming?
Yes, 5G is available in selected countries through partner operators. To experience 5G speeds while abroad, you must meet the following requirements:
- A Hotlink Postpaid 5G plan or a 5G Internet Pass (for Prepaid).
- A valid data roaming pass for a 5G-enabled country.
- A 5G-capable device.
- A 4G LTE SIM card.
- 5G toggled ON in your device settings.
- Connection to a 5G-supported partner network.
Once these requirements are met, your phone will automatically latch onto the 5G network where available.
What is the benefit of 5G roaming plans?
Using 5G while travelling provides a significantly enhanced experience. When connected to a supported partner operator overseas, your roaming data speeds will be much faster than standard 4G, allowing:
- Quicker browsing and loading times.
- Higher-quality video streaming.
- Smoother navigation and map usage.
- Faster uploads and downloads.
- Reduced latency for video calls or work apps.
This leads to a more seamless and reliable international data roaming experience overall.
Which countries and operators support 5G roaming?
You can check all 5G-supported countries and operators through Hotlink’s international data roaming page. Select your destination and review the “Network Operator” section to see whether 5G is available.
- Open the Hotlink international roaming page.
- Use the country dropdown.
- Pick your destination.
- The page instantly shows all call, SMS, and international data roaming rates.
Do I need to pay extra to use 5G roaming?
No, you do not need to pay any additional fee beyond your existing roaming plan or roaming data pass. If the country supports 5G roaming and your plan/device is compatible, you will automatically enjoy 5G connectivity at no extra cost.
Why is 5G not working on international roaming?
5G may not work for several reasons, including:
- The country or operator does not support 5G roaming.
- You are not connected to a preferred 5G partner network.
- Your plan does not include 5G access.
- 5G is disabled in your device settings.
- Your device is not 5G-capable.
- You are in a low-coverage area.
- You are using an outdated or non-4G SIM card.
Manually switching operators may resolve the issue in some destinations.
What is data roaming?
Data roaming allows you to use the internet, apps, WAP, and MMS while you are outside Malaysia, through partner operators in the country you are visiting. This ensures you stay connected even without Wi-Fi access.
Should I keep data roaming on or off, and how do I avoid unexpected charges?

- Always purchase a Data Roam Pass before or upon arrival.
- Monitor your usage in the Hotlink app.
- Ensure your phone is connected to a preferred partner network.
- Avoid using pay-per-use roaming data unless necessary.
