Forget the struggle of searching for local SIM cards in busy markets or facing exorbitant roaming fees while traveling through the "Warm Heart of Africa." HandySIM’s technology provides instant access to the networks of Malawi's leading national operators, such as Airtel and TNM. We provide a secure connectivity platform with an encrypted connection, ready for use the moment you land at Lilongwe (LLW) or Chileka (BLZ) International Airports.
In a country boasting incredible nature but facing infrastructure challenges, eSIM technology is the safest and most convenient choice for the modern traveler. This is a built-in chip in your smartphone that eliminates the need for physical plastic cards and visits to telecom centers in crowded urban areas. The difference is significant: while traditional methods require on-site registration with ID and often take up valuable time, with HandySIM you activate your data plan in seconds directly through your phone settings.
HandySIM is designed to provide a stable connection for tourists, humanitarian workers, and researchers. Our service offers intelligent connection to the strongest available signal, ensuring reliability in the administrative hub of Lilongwe as well as popular zones around Lake Malawi.

Yes, for the mobile internet to work in Malawi, the "Data Roaming" function must be activated in your HandySIM profile settings. Since you are using a prepaid package at a fixed price, this will not result in any additional or hidden charges from your home operator; it simply allows your device to connect to the local network and provide you with seamless connectivity.
Malawi has relatively good coverage across most of its territory. In mountainous regions and around Lake Malawi, the signal is stable near settlements and tourist lodges. While the connection may weaken in the remotest parts of national parks, accommodation zones and main roads usually offer reliable 4G / LTE access to keep you connected.
Your package activates automatically the moment you land in Malawi and your phone registers with the local network. This means the validity period of your days does not start at the time of purchase, but only when you actually begin using the internet on-site, giving you full peace of mind when planning your trip in advance.
Having a mobile internet connection is extremely useful for traveling in Malawi, especially if you are driving yourself. You will be able to use real-time navigation apps to easily find your way to Lilongwe, Blantyre, or the most beautiful bays of Lake Malawi without worrying about losing your orientation during the journey.
