nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Malawi

nextSIM does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for Malawi. All plans that carry “Unlimited” in their name actually offer a limited amount of high‑speed data—either 1GB or 2GB in total—and after that threshold the speed is throttled to 512kbps or 2000kbps. These plans use a 3G/4G network.

Instead, nextSIM offers fixed data plans that may be more cost‑effective for travelers who need a larger data allowance. For example, the 10GB 30‑day Premium plan is available for $61.92, and a larger 30GB 30‑day Premium plan is offered for $778.45. These plans provide the full data allowance at the advertised speed for the full validity period.

nextSIM does not provide an eSIM for Malawi that includes a phone number or SMS capability, only data‑only plans are available. Travelers who need to make calls or send messages can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection.
