The aloSIM eSIM for Malawi does not include a local phone number or SMS capability. Travelers who need voice or text messaging will need to rely on internet‑based solutions such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage.
Since no native telephony is provided, en‑route travelers should confirm that the VoIP services they rely on are accessible in Malawi before purchasing an aloSIM plan, as some destinations may block or restrict certain apps.
