No surprise fees or roaming chargesAn eSIM is an embedded SIM card, and you probably already have an eSIM-compatible device. When you install an eSIM for a country or region, it lets your device connect to local networks in that area. This means your device will have data without needing Wi-Fi or paying roaming charges.
Malawi, often referred to as the “Warm Heart of Africa,” is renowned for its beautiful natural landscapes and welcoming culture. The country is home to Lake Malawi, one of the largest lakes in Africa, known for its clear waters and diverse fish life. The capital, Lilongwe, blends traditional and modern elements, offering insights into the country’s rich history and contemporary life.
While you’re in Malawi, you’ll probably want mobile data so you can check driving directions, make reservations, arrange transportation, and stay in touch with everyone back home.
A Malawi eSIM will give your mobile device access to local prepaid data, ensuring you remain connected even in areas where Wi-Fi might be scarce.
Your data requirements in Malawi largely depend on your travel plans and personal usage. If you plan on enjoying the outdoors and exploring nature, you can’t rely on Wi-Fi availability.
The best thing about a Malawi eSIM is that it comes with flexible data plans, so you can start with a smaller package and top up as needed.
We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip.
Not at all. A Malawi eSIM is an affordable option that helps you save on roaming charges. With a Malawi eSIM, you won’t pay any roaming charges because it connects you directly to a local network.
To avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM, please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan) to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill.
Most newer phones, tablets, and computers are already eSIM-compatible, so use our eSIM device checker to make sure you have a device that can accept an eSIM.
