In Malawi, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:
Airtel Malawi: A subsidiary of Bharti Airtel, offering extensive mobile services including voice, data, and mobile money solutions.
Telekom Networks Malawi (TNM): A local operator providing a range of mobile services such as voice, data, and enterprise solutions.
Access Communications: A local telecommunications company offering mobile voice and data services, focusing on connectivity for local communities.
Malawi Telecommunications Limited (MTL): An ICT company providing mobile services, including voice and data plans, with a focus on fixed-line services.
Additionally, new entrants like Malcel and Nyasa Mobile are set to enter the market, aiming to enhance competition and expand service offerings.
Malawi does not have Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs); therefore, travel eSIMs typically operate on the infrastructure of the major MNOs listed above.
Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS for Malawi are offered by GlobaleSIM. These plans come in a range of data caps from 1âŻGB to 20âŻGB and validity periods from 7âŻdays to 30âŻdays, with prices starting at aboutâŻ$7 and going up to roughlyâŻ$57. Each plan includes an inbound and outbound voice capability and inbound SMS, but the phone number is delivered with the dialing codeâŻ+1, which is not Malawiâs local code (+265).
Because the number is not local to Malawi, travelers who require a locally based number would need to look for other options or rely on dataâonly eSIMs and use VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage to communicate over the data connection.
