Sim cards

GSM mobile phone services are available from your DST operator. They have a good range of roaming connections. 3G mobile phone services are available from B-Mobile. B-Mobile is now known as Progresif Cellular (PCSB). The international code for Brunei is 673.

Progresif’s Visitor Plan

For 10 BND / week – unlimited local calls, unlimited texting in Brunei, 1GB internet, sending 10 international SMS

For 25 BND / week – unlimited local calls, unlimited texting in Brunei, unlimited internet, sending 10 international SMS messages

Sim cards can be bought at the airport’s arrivals hall. If you are going here for a short stay like us, we definitely recommend a sim card for 10 BND. In Brunei, WIFI worked great at the hostel, so we used the internet mainly on google maps when we needed to orient ourselves.
