Recommend for solo travelers
I’m a college student and I’ve been backpacking around Europe. I found Firsty and it helped make everything simple for me. The free plan was perfect for me.

Installing was so easy
I was worried at first about losing my prior SIM card and cellular plan, but with Firsty you can keep your other plans. Super easy to setup as well.

Came in Clutch
I ran out of data on my trip to Europe. I was stuck in a city I didn’t know and I was worried. Firsty was clutch and got me home safely in an Uber.

Just switch already
I love this app. My friends are mad that I get the best connection. No more crazy roaming costs from popular providers. Just switch tbh.

I wasn’t sure my phone supported eSIM at first so I contacted customer service and they helped me right away. There is helpful blog on this on their website.

What are the eSIM plans available in Malawi?

keyboard_arrow_down

Firsty provides two eSIM options in Malawi:

  • Comfort+: This plan offers mobile data at a moderate speed, suitable for essential apps like Google Maps, WhatsApp, Uber, and Email. However, it’s not fast enough for high-data usage apps like YouTube or Instagram.
  • First Class: For those needing high-speed internet, First Class provides reliable, fast data for streaming, video calls, and other data-intensive tasks.

2. Open the app and follow the easy setup process to activate your Comfort+ or First Class eSIM.
3. Upon arrival in Malawi, your eSIM will be ready to use based on your chosen plan.
4. For high-speed internet, upgrade to First Class, which can be easily purchased and activated through the app.

What is the best way to get data in Malawi?

keyboard_arrow_down

The best way to get data in Malawi is by using Firsty’s Comfort+ or First Class plan. Comfort+ is designed for essential apps at a reduced speed, while First Class provides high-speed internet for more intensive usage. Malawi’s leading mobile providers, such as Airtel Malawi and TNM (Telekom Networks Malawi), ensure that you are automatically connected to the best available network, whether you're in Lilongwe, Blantyre, or along the shores of Lake Malawi.

Can I create a hotspot with my eSIM Malawi plan?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes! With First Class, you can create a hotspot in Malawi to share your internet connection with others. This is especially useful when traveling with multiple devices or sharing your connection with friends while exploring destinations like Lake Malawi, Liwonde National Park, or Mount Mulanje. Please note that using a hotspot may consume your high-speed data more quickly.

Why is Comfort+ having a slower data connection in Malawi?

keyboard_arrow_down

Comfort+ is designed to offer affordable global connectivity, especially in regions like Malawi where mobile data costs are higher. This plan automatically adjusts the speed to match essential apps like Messaging, Maps, and Email. For faster data speeds and seamless access to streaming and social media, First Class is available at high-speed rates. This setup ensures all users can stay connected while traveling, no matter their data requirements.

All your favourite apps keep going during your journey.
