Mali eSIM questions
What is the best eSIM for Mali?
Pick a plan that covers your whole stay with some data to spare. We offer 20 Mali plans starting from $11.99, delivered instantly by email and in your account.
Which networks does the Mali eSIM use?
It connects to Orange [4G], Malitel [4G], and your phone switches to the strongest available network automatically.
Can I install my Mali eSIM before I travel?
Yes, on the day you travel: install it on Wi-Fi before you leave. Some plans start counting when the eSIM is installed and others when it first connects in Mali, so installing on the day keeps all your days.
Do I get a phone number with the Mali eSIM?
No, it's data only. Call and message over WhatsApp, FaceTime or Telegram, and keep your regular SIM switched on to receive texts such as bank codes.

Most travellers use 0.5–1 GB per day for maps, messaging and social media. Streaming video uses much more. Our data calculator gives a personal estimate.
