Reliable service during my study abroad semester to Malawi. Appreciated that the data validity starts when you first use it, not when you buy it — so I purchased it a week early with zero waste. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Malawi.

I've tried Airalo and Holafly before, but TripoSIM was noticeably cheaper for Malawi. The data lasted my entire work conference and I still had some left over. Customer support responded within minutes when I had a question about installation.

Used TripoSIM for my vacation to Malawi. Setup took 2 minutes — scanned the QR code at the airport and had 4G immediately after landing. Speeds were great for maps, video calls, and uploading photos. Much cheaper than my carrier's roaming package.

Solid eSIM for Malawi. Used it mainly for work emails, video calls, and navigation during my honeymoon. Coverage was excellent in the cities. Price was very competitive compared to other eSIM providers I checked.
