Fluide, simple, ça marche tout simplement. Utilisez-le à nouveau.
Activation rapide et connexion stable. Très pratique 🌟 Je l'ai utilisé lors de mon voyage à Madère.
Soutien charmant, j'ai obtenu une eSIM pour le Royaume-Uni. Aucun problème rencontré.
J'avais l'habitude d'avoir 3 téléphones portables, mais la connexion internet n'était pas la meilleure, c'est pourquoi j'ai commencé à utiliser Blikst et je le trouve très utile
The Blikst Malawi eSIM puts your phone on Airtel Malawi, the country's largest mobile operator by subscriber base. You get 3G and 4G speeds, with reliable 4G in the bigger cities and 3G or EDGE fallback in hillier and more remote areas. During Malawi's scheduled power cuts, expect occasional slow patches when towers run on backup power rather than full mains supply.
Airtel's signal is reliable across Lilongwe, Blantyre, Zomba and Mzuzu, plus the main M1 corridor running north to south. Lakeshore towns like Cape Maclear, Nkhata Bay, Senga Bay and Monkey Bay have workable signal at most lodges, though surrounding hills can drop you to 3G or EDGE. Liwonde and Majete parks only have intermittent coverage near gates and camps. Treat the Nyika Plateau, upper Mulanje and the Shire Valley back roads as offline zones.
Right after purchase you receive a confirmation email with your eSIM details, then you scan the QR code to install it. Do this while you still have Wi-Fi at home, as the QR scan needs internet. The eSIM activates automatically when you arrive and a Malawian tower registers it, so when you land at Lilongwe or Blantyre, switch off airplane mode and turn off data roaming on your home line.
Most modern smartphones are fully compatible with Blikst eSIMs, though a few exceptions exist, so check our detailed compatibility list to confirm your device works flawlessly. Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked. On an iPhone you can check eSIM support under Settings, General, About by looking for an EID number; on Android you will find eSIM options in the network settings. If in doubt, check before you travel.
It depends on your trip. A one-week lakeshore-plus-Liwonde trip works on roughly 3 GB if you are mostly on lodge Wi-Fi in the evenings. Two weeks covering Lilongwe, Cape Maclear, Liwonde and Mulanje is comfortable on 5 to 10 GB. Overland travellers spending three to four weeks and using Maps and WhatsApp daily should look at 10 to 20 GB. Remote workers staying a month should go higher and expect 3G fallback during load-shedding.
Yes, tethering and hotspot are supported, so you can share your connection with a laptop or a travel companion's phone. This is handy given the patchy shared Wi-Fi at most guesthouses. Bear in mind Malawi has scheduled power cuts, and while lodges and cafes often run generators or solar, tower output can dip at peak demand, so expect the odd slow patch that is not the eSIM's fault.
This is a data-only plan, so it does not come with a local phone number for traditional calls or SMS. In practice Malawi runs on WhatsApp anyway, with lodge owners, drivers, dive shops at Cape Maclear and guides all messaging you there, and apps like WhatsApp or FaceTime let you call and message over the internet. Because the eSIM is a separate digital line, your physical home SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number.
Usually, yes. US and UK carriers typically charge around 10 dollars a day to roam in Malawi, if they offer coverage at all, while a Blikst eSIM on Airtel is a fraction of that across a full trip. You can buy a physical Airtel SIM at Kamuzu International Airport, but you will need your passport and patience at the registration desk, and it only makes sense for stays of a month or more. For most two- to three-week trips, the eSIM wins on time alone.
