Which mobile networks does Macau have?
Macau is tiny and densely covered. The 2022 5G licences required half the territory covered within one year and the full territory within 18 months.
- CTM: Macau's main operator with the most developed 5G footprint, and the only one that opens 5G to prepaid users as of April 2025.
- China Telecom Macau: The second 5G licence holder, running its own 5G network across the territory.
- 3 Macau: The Hutchison brand still operates in Macau but declined a 5G licence, so its service tops out at 4G.
SmarTone shut down its Macau network on 11 November 2024, leaving three mobile networks in the territory.

Is 5G available in Macau?
Real 5G is live. All operators switched on 5G on the 3500 MHz band in November 2022, CTM and China Telecom hold the licences, and only CTM offers 5G on prepaid as of April 2025.
How much data do you need in Macau?
Light use is about 500 MB a day. That covers maps, messages, and some browsing. Normal use with photos, social apps, and short videos runs 1 to 1.5 GB a day. Streaming and hotspot use can eat 2 to 3 GB a day. Here is what each size costs in Macau right now:
eSIM or a local SIM at the airport in Macau?
An eSIM is ready before you land. No queue, no shop, no handing over your passport at a counter. Data for Macau starts at $23.80 on this page, which is hard for airport kiosks to beat. A local SIM still makes sense if you need a local phone number or plan to stay for months. For a normal trip, the eSIM wins on price and effort.

CTM has a counter and a SIM vending machine in the arrival hall at Macau International Airport. Shops inside the airport close between 10 PM and midnight even though the airport runs around the clock.
If you want prepaid 5G, CTM is currently the only choice. Convenience stores airside also stock SIMs if the counter queue is long.
