UM in Madagascar (Nossy be)

gigiolo · **UM in Madagascar (Nossy be) -** 05-09-2008, 14:36

Hello at all,

this my first post, but I read this forum since long time.
First, sorry for my bad english, I will try to improve it.

Second, just a question for You:
Next 15 September I will be in Madagascar (Nossy be) in holiday.
Usually in my travels I use a United Mobile sim, but according to the UM web site, in this place there aren't roaming agreements.

Anybody have a personal coverage feedback from this place?

Thank You
Gigiolo

I do not know regarding UM, but I know that TravelSIM works in Madagascar (network Celtel - biggest network in Madagascar).

Are you sure it works there?
On the travelsimshop website I do not see Madagascar covered....

Yep, travelsim works fine there. I think travelsimshop forgot to update the coverage.

To find out the networks, UM+ SIM can roam on, I recommend checking Jersey Telecom's roaming partners list and the the list at the GSMA, as UM+ is based on Jersey Telecom's network.

However neither UM, nor these both sources name any Madagascan network. So I fear there's no use of a UM+ SIM in Madagascar.
