Keep your Irish number live
On a dual-SIM phone, leave your Three Ireland, Vodafone Ireland, Eir, or GoMo SIM active for calls and texts. Use HelloRoam for data in Kuala Lumpur. People back home can still ring your Irish number without international charges.
Download offline maps first

Watch your data usage

Save emergency numbers offline
The emergency number in most countries is 112. In Kuala Lumpur it is worth checking the local number too. Save these offline before you travel. Emergency calls work on any available network regardless of your HelloRoam data balance.

Best time to visit Kuala Lumpur from Ireland
Kuala Lumpur is a popular destination for Irish holidaymakers. Dublin Airport has regular direct or connecting flights year-round. The best time to visit depends on your preferences for weather, crowds, and value.
Airport and Transit Connectivity
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and the adjacent KLIA2 budget terminal are about 55 kilometers from the city centre. Both terminals have 4G and 5G throughout. The KLIA Ekspres train from KLIA to KL Sentral takes 28 minutes and has 4G coverage throughout the journey.
KLIA2 uses the KLIA Transit regional service with more stops. From KL Sentral, the KL Monorail, LRT, and MRT connect to all major neighborhoods. Grab, the dominant ride-hailing app in Southeast Asia, operates throughout KL and needs live data.
The MyRapid transit app for real-time KL public transport schedules also needs a data connection. Kuala Lumpur is the regional hub and the same HelloRoam Malaysia plan covers Penang, Langkawi, and the Genting Highlands.
Irish travellers should activate their eSIM before boarding so navigation apps work as soon as they land.
