For a 3-7 day trip mainly used for maps, social media and search, about 3-5GB is usually enough. If you frequently stream video or use hotspot, choose 1GB/day or above, or an unlimited plan.
Is it better to buy an eSIM or a physical SIM for Malawi?
An eSIM needs no card swap, can be installed before departure, activates right after landing, and supports dual SIM (keeping your home number). A physical SIM suits cases needing a local phone number or a device without eSIM support. Compare eSIM prices here first — they're usually cheaper than airport counters.
How do I activate a Malawi eSIM after landing?
Install it before departure over Wi-Fi. After landing, enable data roaming to auto-activate; if there's still no service after 1-2 minutes, manually select the local operator in settings. Checking device compatibility before departure reduces the risk of activation failure.
