eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for Malawi

eSIMCard does not provide genuine unlimited data eSIM plans for Malawi. All plans that bear the “Unlimited” label contain a fixed high‑speed data allowance of 1 GB or 2 GB per day and after the cap is reached the speed is throttled to 500 kbps or 2000 kbps.

If a traveler needs larger data volumes without speed reduction, eSIMCard offers fixed‑data packages such as the 25 GB 30‑day Africa plan and the 20 GB 30‑day Africa plan. These options provide a high‑speed data allowance that is not subject to throttling for the entire validity period, making them a more cost‑effective choice for heavy data users.

eSIMCard does not provide Malawi eSIM plans that include a local phone number or SMS capability. The service offered by eSIMCard for Malawi is data‑only, meaning you can use the Internet connection for data usage while travelling.

If you need to communicate while in Malawi, popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage can be used over the data connection to make calls and send messages without requiring a traditional phone number.

eSIMCard lists 16 single‑country plans that cover Malawi and 22 multi‑country plans that include Malawi. The plans span a price range of about six dollars up to nearly five hundred dollars, with data caps that vary from 1 GB to 100 GB. Some offerings are fixed‑data plans that give a set amount of data for the validity period, while others are daily‑data‑cap plans that limit the amount of data that can be used each day. Additional options such as tethering and reduced speed at 500 kbps or 2000 kbps apply to certain plans.
