It connects to Malitel and Orange on 4G networks in Mali.

Does the Mali eSIM include calls and texts?

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

How much data can I get for Mali?

You can choose between 1 GB and 3 GB of data.

How long are the Mali eSIM plans valid?

Plans are available for seven or 15 days.

Can I top up my Mali eSIM?

Mali: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Mali 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, and reaches 2 networks — Malitel, Orange — so your phone can move to whichever one has signal. Your usual number stays active on the same phone throughout.
