Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your Madagascar eSIM

Your eSIM connects to Telma, Orange Madagascar, and Airtel Madagascar. Telma offers 4G on bands B1, B3, B20 and 5G on n78. Orange and Airtel are 4G only. Airtel runs 3G-only in many rural areas outside major cities.

Most US and European phones work, but check for band B20 (800 MHz). Telma and Airtel use B20 for better rural coverage. If your phone lacks B20, you may lose signal in less populated areas where lower-frequency range is needed.

No. The eSIM covers only Madagascar. It stops at the border and does not include Réunion, Mauritius, or the Comoros. You need a separate eSIM or roaming plan for each neighbouring territory.

Data is not filtered or throttled by the eSIM itself, but speeds depend on the local network. Median download is 18.82 Mbps. In southern and western Madagascar, large areas have no mobile coverage, so you will have no data at all in those regions.

Coverage is limited outside cities. Telma 5G is only in Antananarivo and Toamasina. Large parts of southern and western Madagascar have no coverage from any operator. In rural areas, Airtel provides 3G only. Mountains and remote national parks may have no signal.
