Madagascar eSIM FAQs
No, the Madagascar travel eSIM is data - only. It won’t give you a cellular voice line. If you want to call, just fire up WhatsApp, Telegram, or FaceTime using your data allowance.
Our Madagascar travel eSIM is strictly for data; it doesn’t come with a phone number or traditional call/SMS service. Use an internet calling app if you need voice communication.
Yes! You may install the Madagascar eSIM up to 30 days before you travel. It won’t connect or start using data until you arrive.
Early installation ensures you’re ready on arrival, and it won’t drain your plan until you’re in Madagascar.
If you encounter an activation message on iPhone before landing, it’s usually safe to ignore - see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for more info.
If you want to avoid roaming headaches in Madagascar, a travel eSIM is the smarter pick:
Big Savings: Our local Madagascar eSIM data plans are priced for residents, not tourists who pay premium roaming costs.
Easy Plan Changes: Upgrade or downgrade your data allowance on the fly - no need for a new SIM.
Full Transparency: See your data usage in - app so you won’t run out unexpectedly or incur extra charges.
No - the plan’s data and days only start when you arrive in Madagascar. Installation beforehand simply sets it up for activation on landing.
We recommend installing before departure since you will need WiFi to complete the installation process and this way you will be connected as soon as you land.
If you need help connecting, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to us.
Your eSIM will activate automatically when you arrive in Madagascar. Though we recommend installing your Madagascar Travel eSIM before you arrive (this is different to activating).
To do this, scan the QR code we provide or install the eSIM directly from the ZenSim app while connected to WiFi. Once you arrive in Madagascar, your eSIM will activate automatically.
If you encounter any issues check out our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us directly ☺️
Definitely! ZenSim supports eSIM usage in over 200 countries, so Madagascar is covered. If you need multi-country coverage, take a look at our regional eSIM options on the Travel eSIMs page.
Once activated in Madagascar, your eSIM typically won’t function outside that country.
If you're planning to hop between countries, we recommend checking out our regional Travel eSIMs - they’re made for multi-country use and cover most major regions.
Signal & Connectivity: If you’re stuck without data, follow our detailed troubleshooting guide. If issues persist, contact support and we’ll fix it promptly.
Install Assistance: For help installing, consult our installation walkthrough. Still need help? Reach out and we’ll guide you step by step.
Other Support Requests: For anything else, head to our contact page.
Once you arrive in Madagascar, your eSIM activates automatically if it’s already installed.
If you install it after arriving, the eSIM will activate and begin working immediately.
For any setup or connection problems, refer to our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact our support.
Yes it can. Nearly all ZenSim eSIMs support top ups inside the app. You can boost your data, add extra days, or attach a new country to the same eSIM from the Zen Garden in only a few steps.
Just log into the app, open the Zen Garden, and you’ll find the top up control ready to use.
If you're travelling longer than 30 days, you can purchase multiple top ups in advance. They only activate once the current plan finishes, so nothing overwrites your existing eSIM.
If your trip includes several destinations, many of our eSIMs support multi country top ups. For example, you can add Dubai to a Europe eSIM and it will activate the moment you arrive without reinstalling anything.

Explore the Otherworldly Avenue of the Baobabs
One of Madagascar’s most iconic sights, the Avenue of the Baobabs is a surreal landscape of towering ancient trees that line a dusty road in the Menabe region.

The area is easily accessible from Morondava, making it a must-visit for photographers and nature lovers alike. Whether you're walking among these giants or taking in the spectacular scenery from afar, this natural wonder is truly unforgettable.

The park also features night walks, where you can see nocturnal creatures like mouse lemurs and glowing fungi.
