Providers such as Truely, Roamify, Yesim and Yoho Mobile all list unlimited data plans with validity periods ranging from 1 to 30 days.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Madagascar?

In Madagascar, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:

Airtel Madagascar: A subsidiary of the Indian multinational Bharti Airtel, offering a range of mobile services including voice, data, and value-added services.
Orange Madagascar: Part of the French telecommunications group Orange, providing mobile voice and data services with a focus on expanding network coverage across the country.
Yas (formerly Telma): Rebranded from Telma in November 2024, Yas is a leading telecommunications provider in Madagascar, offering mobile, fixed-line, and internet services.
Blueline (also known as BIP): Operated by Gulfsat Madagascar S.A., Blueline provides mobile services, focusing on serving the local population with a range of voice and data plans.

Additionally, Madagascar has Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Madagascar?

Yes, travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS are available for Madagascar. Three providers in the data offer such plans: GlobaleSIM, Roamify, and Earth Esim. GlobaleSIM supplies a range of packages from 1 GB for 7 days to 20 GB for 30 days, all with inbound and outbound voice, inbound SMS (and in some cases outbound SMS) and prices that start around $5.00 USD. Roamify offers similar data volumes but with broader validity periods (up to 365 days) and additional features such as tethering and 5G connectivity, providing inbound and outbound voice and SMS. Earth Esim offers a 51 GB 30‑day plan with tethering, inbound/outbound voice and SMS, but uses a +33 dialing code rather than the +1 code used by the other providers.

All of these plans supply a phone number; most use dialing code +1, which the dataset associates with Madagascar and delivers a local‑tied number. Earth Esim’s plan uses +33, a foreign dialing code, so the number is not local to Madagascar. Each plan allows inbound calls and SMS; outbound calling and texting are also available on all but a few of the GlobaleSIM packages. This gives travelers a ready‑made number and texting capability while staying in Madagascar.
