Making phone calls in Madagascar

Greetings,

I wouldn't even think of getting a landline here.  The major mobile operators are Orange, Airtel and Telma.  I connect to the Internet via the cell network and a USB modem.  Coverage is pretty good and quite widespread, though there are places where the connection cannot be had. 

I can't comment on a budget because I've been unemployed for a couple of years while backing my wife's start-up enterprise, but it's significantly cheaper than developed countries.  This, of course, will depend on where you live and your lifestyle.  I live in a small town in the northeast, so not much in terms of a social life nor "nights on the town".

Hope this helps.

Hi,

There are three mobile operator in Madagascar. Airtel, Telma and orange are provided mobile and landline facilities.

All three are also provided of Internet. I am using Telma and Airtel both since last 5 years.

For monthly budget, it depend on where you come from. you can find good house from 500000 ar to 1000000 ar. Food and other things also depended on you. But total expenses is one person around USD 700 to 1000.

I hope this information is help you.
