Tired of spam? Here's how PrivateSIM protects your privacy

What is CelcomDigi PrivateSIM?

PrivateSIM is a supplementary SIM line designed to keep your primary number private and protected. Think of it as your “digital shield” — a dedicated number you can use for all your online interactions.

It’s not a replacement for your main line, but a companion. You use your:

• Primary number for real people — family, friends, colleagues
• PrivateSIM for everything else: online shopping, app sign-ups, service registrations, and more.

And the best part? It’s just RM10 monthly — way cheaper than getting a whole new line.

PrivateSIM makes it easier and affordable to protect your privacy in your day-to-day interactions. Let's find out below how PrivateSIM can impact your everyday activities.

Why you need a PrivateSIM: everyday scenarios

It’s easy to see the value of PrivateSIM when you think about how often you share your number online. Here are a few everyday situations where having a separate line really helps protect your privacy.
