The best way to get data in Malawi is by using Firsty’s Classic or Unlimited plan. Classic gives you a prepaid data bundle at the highest available speed, while Unlimited gives you unlimited daily data for streaming, video calls and hotspot use. 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.

Yes! With Unlimited, 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.

It depends on how much data you use. Firsty Free gives you free, ad-supported data for essential apps like messaging, maps and email. Classic gives you a prepaid bundle from 0.5 to 50 GB at the highest available speed, so you know exactly what you spend. For streaming, social media and hotspot use, Unlimited gives you unlimited data from €2 per day, with 5 GB per day at full speed.
