Lumbus eSIM Data Plans for Malawi

Lumbus does not provide a genuine unlimited data eSIM for Malawi. The plans labelled “Malawi Unlimited” give a daily allowance of 3GB and apply a reduced speed of 1000 kbps once that daily limit is reached, which means data use is still capped.

Travelers who need a large but fixed amount of data can choose Lumbus fixed data plans such as the 20 GB 30‑day plan for $105.99 USD or the 10 GB 30‑day plan for $62.99 USD, both of which allow tethering and use the full 5G network coverage when available.

Lumbus does not offer any eSIM plan for Malawi that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIMs are available from this provider in Malawi. Travelers who need to make voice calls or send text messages can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage through the data connection, but they should verify that these services are accessible in Malawi before making a purchase.

Lumbus has eight single‑country plans and sixteen multi‑country plans that cover Malawi. Some of the plans provide a fixed data amount that can be used flexibly over the validity period, while others use a daily data cap that limits how much data an user can consume each day. Prices for Malawi‑only plans range from about $9.99 to $387.99, and data caps span from 1 GB up to 20 GB.
