Ubigi eSIM Plans for Madagascar
What you get with Ubigi in Madagascar
Which Ubigi plan should you pick?
For a short city break of 3–5 days, the cheapest plan at £5.00 will cover Maps, WhatsApp, and casual browsing. If you're spending one to two weeks travelling around Madagascar, step up to a mid-tier plan — usually the strongest value option on a per-GB basis in Ubigi's Madagascar lineup.
If you plan to work remotely, stream video daily, or use your phone as a hotspot for a laptop, lean towards a larger bundle — the 25 GB option is the safer choice. The unlimited plans are priced at a premium but make sense for heavy users who don't want to track usage.
One thing to note: Ubigi Madagascar plans are data-only. You won't get a local number, but your existing SIM handles calls and texts as normal. iMessage, WhatsApp, and FaceTime all work over data.

Ubigi eSIM for Madagascar 2026 — what you need to know
Ubigi is a well-regarded eSIM provider with solid Madagascar coverage. Plans range from short-break options to longer-stay packages, making Ubigi a flexible choice whether you're spending a long weekend or travelling for a month.
Madagascar has three main operators: Orange Madagascar, Telma (the local incumbent) and Airtel Madagascar. Telma has the widest national 4G footprint and is the practical pick for trips beyond the capital. 4G covers Antananarivo, Antsirabe, Toamasina, Mahajanga and Toliara, and the main RN7 highway corridor down to Tulear. The famous Avenue of the Baobabs near Morondava has signal in town but drops fast on the dirt road approach. Andasibe-Mantadia and Ranomafana national parks have coverage at park HQ and lodges. The remote southwest beaches around Anakao and the deep north around Diego Suarez are sparser. 5G has not yet commercially launched at scale.
Is Ubigi good in Madagascar?
In our testing, Ubigi connected reliably across major cities and travel routes in Madagascar. Plug is type C/D/E/J/K (220V, sockets are wildly inconsistent, bring a universal adapter). Currency is the ariary. Travel in Madagascar is slow, the roads are rough, plan way more time than the map suggests.
