Skratch eSIM Data Plans for Malawi

Skratch does not offer a truly unlimited data eSIM for Malawi.
Its plans for Malawi are fixed‑data bundles or “unlimited‑name” plans that provide 2 GB per day for a set number of days and then reduce speed to 1000 kbps. Examples of fixed data plans include the Malawi 20GB 30d plan and the Malawi 10GB 30d plan. These fixed‑data options can be more cost effective for most travelers compared to the “unlimited‑name” plans, which still impose a daily limit and throttled speed after the limit is reached.

Skratch does not provide any eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS functionality in Malawi. The only plans available are data‑only, allowing travelers to connect to the internet. For voice and text, users can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection, but it is advisable to confirm that these services are accessible in Malawi before purchasing a plan.

Skratch offers 11 single country plans and 3 multi country plans for Malawi. The plans span a price spectrum from about $7.99 to $509.70, with data caps that run from 1 GB to 20 GB and validity periods ranging from 3 to 30 days. Some plans provide a fixed amount of data for the entire validity, while others offer a daily data cap that delivers a set amount of data each day rather than a single bulk allocation.
