In Malawi, mobile phones have become the dominant form of communication, far surpassing the use of landline numbers in the country. With the increasing availability of affordable mobile phones and the expansion of mobile networks across the country, more and more people are opting for mobile phones over landlines. According to a report by the World Bank, mobile phone penetration in Malawi has been steadily increasing in recent years, with nearly 40% of the population having access to mobile phones as of 2018. In contrast, landline penetration remains low, with only a small percentage of households having landline connections. The shift towards mobile phones in Malawi can be attributed to their affordability, convenience, and widespread availability. Mobile phones have not only revolutionized communication in the country but have also opened up new opportunities for mobile banking, access to information, and e-commerce. As a result, the use of landline numbers has become increasingly obsolete, with many telecommunications companies focusing on expanding their mobile networks to reach more people across the country. Overall, it is clear that mobile phones are more frequently used in Malawi than landline numbers, reflecting the growing importance of mobile technology in the country’s communication landscape.
