Frequently Asked Questions - Madagascar eSIM
Yes - eSIMs work fully in Madagascar on local carrier networks. Activation is simple: buy a plan, get a QR code by email, scan it in Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM, and turn on mobile data. The whole thing takes 2–3 minutes.
Our eSIMs run on local 4G/5G networks in Madagascar. Urban speeds average 30–100 Mbps - plenty for video calls, streaming, and social media. Rural coverage can be slower, but 3G is widely available as a fallback.
eSIM is supported by iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Huawei P40 Pro+, and most other modern smartphones. Run your phone through our compatibility checker before buying.
Most eSIM plans are data-only. For calls and messages, use WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, or similar apps over Wi-Fi or mobile data. A handful of plans include a local phone number - that's clearly flagged on the plan details.
Top up your eSIM from your AviaeSIM account (My eSIMs > Top Up) - the data is added to the same eSIM, no new QR code needed - or buy a new plan on our website or app. Unlimited plans never run out.
Most modern phones hold 8–10 eSIM profiles, but only one can be active at a time. Delete old eSIMs and add new ones whenever you need to.
Local plans cover one country and are usually the cheapest option. Regional plans cover a group of countries (e.g., across Europe) and are ideal for multi-country trips. Global plans work in 173 countries - more expensive, but you pay once for worldwide coverage.
Yes - eSIMs are completely safe. They're embedded in your phone, so they can't be physically stolen or lost, and data is encrypted just like on a regular SIM card.

Why Travelers Choose an eSIM for Madagascar
Flying into Antananarivo (TNR) for the Haute Ville and central highlands, Nosy Be (NOS) for the "Perfume Island" diving and beach scene, or road-tripping the Avenue of the Baobabs near Morondava? A Madagascar eSIM connects to Telma, Orange Madagascar or Airtel Madagascar the moment your plane lands — no TNR kiosk queue, no national-ID-linked SIM paperwork. Activate in two minutes, scan the QR code, and you're online for Antananarivo ride coordination, Andasibe lemur-reserve bookings, RN7 road-trip town navigation, or Nosy Be boat-tour scheduling. Choose a 7-day plan for a Tana + Andasibe + Avenue of Baobabs week, a 30-day plan for a full Madagascar circuit, or Madagascar eSIM unlimited data for longer conservation or safari-guide stays.

Where 4G works in Madagascar
Telma, Orange Madagascar and Airtel all run 4G/LTE in Antananarivo, Toamasina, Antsirabe, Fianarantsoa, Mahajanga and Toliara, and on Nosy Be and Sainte-Marie; Telma, the largest operator, also has 5G in parts of the capital. The RN7 south to Toliara has 4G in the towns and 3G or 2G on the long stretches between Antsirabe, Ambositra and Ranohira.
The parks are mostly offline: Andasibe has signal at the lodges, Isalo at the park gate, and the Avenue of the Baobabs near Morondava a bar or two at sunset, but the Tsingy, Masoala and the RN5 to Maroantsetra are out of reach for hours. Power cuts in the towns can take masts down too — a power bank and offline maps are part of the kit.
