An Unlimited Data Plan provides unlimited data throughout your plan validity. After reaching the daily high-speed data allowance, the connection speed will be reduced, while internet access will remain available for essential online activities.
After the high-speed data allowance is used, your speed is reduced to 5 Mbps. This is still fast enough for navigation, messaging, browsing, social media, and video calls, so you can stay connected throughout your trip.
All plan time calculations follow a 24-hour cycle. The validity period begins when the plan is activated, and daily data or speed limits reset every 24 hours from the activation time.
Install and activate your eSIM within 30 days of receiving the QR code. Your plan starts immediately upon activation, and all validity and data cycles are calculated from that time.

Yes! You can keep your primary SIM for calls and texts while using iRoamly eSIM for data. Just select iRoamly eSIM as your mobile data source to avoid roaming charges.
If your plan supports top-ups, you can easily purchase an add-on to extend your data—no reinstallation needed. For plans without top-ups, simply buy a new eSIM and install it.
Yes, iRoamly eSIM supports hotspot sharing. In rare cases, your device or system version may limit hotspot use, but 95% of users can share data without issues.
The Malawi eSIM is data-only and doesn't include a local phone number. You can make calls or send messages via apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, or Skype.
The validity of your eSIM starts when you enable roaming at your destination, not at installation. Avoid turning on roaming before traveling to prevent premature activation.
Your data needs depend on usage habits. Use the iRoamly Data Calculator to find a plan that fits your travel style, whether you're browsing, streaming, or navigating.
Most eSIMs allow you to check data usage in the iRoamly app or on our website. For eSIMs that don't support this, contact support@iroamly.com for your balance.
Install your eSIM a few days before departure while your phone is online. This ensures smooth installation and avoids activation issues due to slow airport Wi-Fi. Don't enable roaming until you arrive in Malawi.
A Malawi eSIM is more convenient than Pocket WiFi—it keeps your phone connected without carrying an extra device or worrying about battery life.
