Malawi SMS numbers: +265 and SIM versus non-SIM ranges
MACRA distinguished a +26531 non-SIM VoIP range from a +26588 SIM range. Check the actual pool, app quote and text status before using a Malawi number.

+265 alone does not identify a SIM line
In a notice to the ITU, Malawi's regulator MACRA identified +26531 as a VoIP, non-SIM segment and distinguished it from its +26588 SIM-based segment. Both begin with +265, but country code alone does not identify the service type. This was an allocation notice, not a claim that every SMS4U number today is in either range or that a sender accepts one of them.
When an app offers Malawi/+265 separately, enter the number displayed by your order according to that app's field example. Do not add the country code again if the app already inserts it. If a prefix or length seems unexpected, inspect the order number first; do not truncate or rewrite digits to fit a guess.
Available apps and reference prices
Inspect the activation quote for your chosen app. Live pool, cost and duration can change; the final order confirmation shows the CNY debit.

Separate a displayed quote from a number you can buy now
This app table uses a quote snapshot. Open Facebook or WhatsApp as the specific product you need, then inspect its current Smart recommendation and available pools. A price row and a positive estimated count do not reserve a number. If the selected pool empties, look at another eligible pool for the same app or check later rather than buying a different app product.
USD on this page is a reference price; balance, top-up and the actual order debit remain in CNY. Read the activation order's duration before paying. A short order is for a text within that window, not a promise that the same number will be there for future account recovery.
Distinguish number refusal from missing delivery
If the sender rejects the number at entry, first check whether it accepts texts and the offered number type. Changing punctuation cannot turn a VoIP range into a SIM line. If the sender reports a code sent but the order has no text, check the country, exact number, countdown and SMS status; keep the message and request time. Repeated resends may trigger sender limits and do not guarantee faster delivery.
For a regional comparison, Uganda uses +256, and its pool and prices are separate. SMS reception does not include voice verification, identity eligibility or continuing control of the number.
