Cheapest eSIM for Madagascar: the numbers
As of 31 August 2026, 15:21 GMT, the cheapest eSIM for Madagascar is eSIMCard with 50 GB for 30 Days at $96.86. That is $1.94 per GB, the best rate of the 71 plans we compare from 9 providers. 17 support top ups. That timestamp is the exact moment of our latest price check, and the table above always shows the live order.
Which mobile networks does Madagascar have?
Madagascar had about 18.2 million mobile connections at the start of 2025, equal to 56.2 percent of the population. Around 84.6 percent of those connections ran on 3G, 4G or 5G networks.
- Yas (formerly Telma): Yas is the incumbent network, controlled by Axian Telecom since 2004 and rebranded from Telma to Yas in 2024, and it was the first to bring 5G to the island.
- Orange Madagascar: Part of the global Orange group, it sells mobile plans, home internet and Orange Money, and it supports eSIM on its own network.
- Airtel Madagascar: The second placed operator in the market, and in July 2026 it became the first network in Madagascar to test Starlink direct to cell satellite connectivity in Sadabe.
Madagascar has no notable local MVNOs, and most international travel eSIMs that cover the island connect through the Airtel Madagascar network.
The eSIM plans we compare on this page connect to:
Is 5G available in Madagascar?
Yas has run 5G since June 2020, built with Ericsson. In July 2026 it also switched on a 5.5G pilot in Andraharo, which made Madagascar the fourth country in the world to test that technology.
How much data do you need in Madagascar?
Light use is about 500 MB a day. That covers maps, messages, and some browsing. Normal use with photos, social apps, and short videos runs 1 to 1.5 GB a day. Streaming and hotspot use can eat 2 to 3 GB a day. Here is what each size costs in Madagascar right now:
Are unlimited eSIMs for Madagascar really unlimited?
Not always. 14 of the plans above are sold as unlimited. Most unlimited travel plans have a fair use rule. You get full speed for a daily amount, often 1 to 5 GB, then the speed drops to around 1 Mbps until the next day. That is fine for messages and maps but slow for video. If you know how much data you use, a fixed plan with a low price per GB is usually the better deal. That is why we rank by price per GB and not by labels.
eSIM or a local SIM at the airport in Madagascar?
An eSIM is ready before you land. No queue, no shop, no handing over your passport at a counter. Data for Madagascar starts at $96.86 on this page, which is hard for airport kiosks to beat. A local SIM still makes sense if you need a local phone number or plan to stay for months. For a normal trip, the eSIM wins on price and effort.
Setting up your Madagascar eSIM
Buy your planYou get a QR code by email within minutes of paying.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Airport and hotel wifi can be weak.
Turn it on when you landEnable the eSIM and turn on data roaming for it, then give it a minute to find the network.
Check the validity clockSome plans start counting at purchase, not at first use. Check before you buy.
Good to know before you land in Madagascar
Buying a SIM at Ivato airport in Antananarivo is quick, usually under 10 minutes. Starter SIMs are cheap, about 1,000 ariary for a Yas SIM and around 2,000 ariary for Orange.
Coverage is good in towns but patchy across rural stretches of the island, so load a large data bundle before you leave the city. Power cuts happen often enough that a power bank is worth carrying.

What is the cheapest eSIM for Madagascar?
Right now the cheapest option ranked by price per GB is eSIMCard with 50 GB for 30 Days at $96.86. That works out to $1.94 per GB. Prices change often, so the table above always shows the current order.

Do Madagascar eSIMs support 5G?
The networks our plans use in Madagascar currently run on 4G. That is enough for maps, messaging, video calls, and streaming in most cases.
Can I top up my Madagascar eSIM if I run out?
Yes. 17 of the 71 plans here support top ups, so you can add data without buying a new eSIM. The rest need a fresh plan once the data ends.
Will I still receive bank SMS and OTP codes?
Yes, if you keep your home SIM active. Travel eSIMs are data only. Your phone can hold both at once, so leave your normal SIM on for SMS and use the eSIM for data. Turn off roaming data on the home SIM to avoid charges.
Do these eSIMs include a phone number or calls?
The plans we compare are data only, so there is no local number. Calls work fine over WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any app that uses data. If you need a real local number, a local SIM is the better tool.

Around 3 to 5 GB covers a week of maps, messaging, and normal browsing. Heavy video or hotspot use needs 1 to 2 GB per day. Today the cheapest plan with at least 5 GB is eSIMCard at $13.01.
