Drop the leading 0 from Malagasy numbers. Antananarivo area code is 020 (becomes +261 20). Mobile numbers start with 032, 033, 034, or 038. Malagasy and French are the official languages. Mobile usage significantly exceeds landline usage. Call quality can vary outside major cities.

Connection Fee Explained

Kinvo charges a flat $0.05 connection fee per call to Madagascar. This fee is charged only when the call is answered by the recipient. You are never charged for:

  • -Calls that are not answered (no pickup)
  • -Calls that reach a busy signal
  • -Calls that fail to connect due to network issues
  • -Calls you cancel before the recipient answers

For example, a 10-minute call to a Madagascar landline costs: $0.05 + (10 x $2.50) = $25.05. A 10-minute call to a Madagascar mobile costs: $0.05 + (10 x $2.50) = $25.05.

Why Use Kinvo to Call Madagascar?

Traditional phone carriers charge between $1 and $3 per minute for international calls to Madagascar. Even calling plans that include "international minutes" typically cost $10 to $15 per month as an add-on and often exclude mobile numbers in Madagascar, which are charged at a premium rate. Kinvo eliminates all of this with straightforward per-minute pricing starting from $2.50 per minute and a flat $0.05 connection fee.

Unlike traditional VoIP apps like the discontinued Skype or Viber Out, Kinvo does not require downloading or installing any software. The entire experience runs in your web browser using WebRTC, the same technology that powers Google Meet and Zoom. This means you can call Madagascar from any computer, laptop, tablet, or phone with a browser and a microphone — at home, in the office, or on the go.

Kinvo credits are pay-as-you-go and never expire. There is no monthly subscription, no minimum spend, and no contract. If you buy $5 in credits today and do not call Madagascar for six months, your full balance will still be waiting. This is especially useful for people who call Madagascar occasionally rather than daily — you never lose money to expiring credit balances like you would with Skype or calling cards.
