Coverage and networks

Madagascar has three operators: Telma (also known as Yas, the market leader), Orange and Airtel. 4G coverage is good in the capital Antananarivo and larger cities, but outside populated centers coverage quickly falls back to 2G or disappears entirely. Airtel and Orange are known for relatively broad coverage in populated areas. Networks: Telma, Orange, Airtel.

Plan on 5 to 10 GB for a round trip, but keep in mind that in remote nature parks you often have no signal at all.

Coverage is concentrated around towns and villages; in remote areas and nature parks mobile internet is very limited or nonexistent.
