Which networks does the Madagascar eSIM use?

It connects to Airtel and Orange networks in Madagascar, with 4G service.

Can I use the eSIM for calls and texts?

No. This is a data-only eSIM, so calls and texts are not included.

What data allowances are available for Madagascar?

The available options are 1GB, 3GB, 5GB and 10GB.

How long do Madagascar eSIM plans last?

Plans are available with validity periods of 7, 15 or 30 days.

Can I top up my Madagascar eSIM?

Yes, you can top up the eSIM if you need more data during your trip.

Madagascar: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Madagascar means finding a shop once you have landed, usually with ID in hand, and it leaves you on a single carrier. An eSimHero eSIM installs before you travel, works the moment you arrive, connects across the networks we carry there, and leaves your usual number active on the same phone.
