Airalo eSIM Data Plans for Malawi

Airalo does not currently offer an unlimited data eSIM plan for Malawi.

Instead, Airalo sells fixed‑data plans that can accommodate most typical usage levels. For example, the Shire Mobile 10 GB plan provides 10 GB of high‑speed data for 30 days at $49.00 USD, and the Shire Mobile 5 GB plan offers 5 GB of data for 30 days at $32.00 USD. These options are often more cost‑effective for travelers who need substantial data but do not require an unlimited allocation.

Airalo does not provide a Malawi eSIM that includes a phone number with voice or SMS capability. The only Malawi plans available from the provider are data‑only eSIMs; they lack inbound/outbound calls and text messaging. Travelers can still make voice calls and send messages through internet‑based services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which function over the data connection.

Airalo provides a total of seven apps for travelers heading to Malawi: five single‑country plans and two multi‑country packages. The single‑country offerings typically give a fixed data amount—usually between 1 GB and 10 GB—valid for 7 to 30 days and priced between about $8 and $59. The multi‑country packages bundle the same data ranges but cover additional neighbouring regions, offering similar validity and price ranges. This spread gives travelers a range of options, from small, short‑term data bundles to broader regional packages, all within the same price and data bracket.
