A domestic-format example is 0991 23 4X XX; its international form is +265 991 23 XX XX. Final subscriber digits are masked with X, so this is a format guide rather than a number to call. The example comes from libphonenumber-js 1.13.11 example metadata; check the current national plan before relying on a number range.
Convert the number for +265
The domestic example starts with 0; that access prefix is not kept after +265. Keep every remaining digit.
Keep the complete national number
The metadata example contains 9 national digits after +265. Check the full length and do not remove a domestic prefix unless the conversion example shows that change.
Check mobile and landline availability separately
The masked metadata example is a mobile format; it does not prove that range is reachable. Geographic landlines, mobiles, toll-free ranges, premium services and short codes can route differently. Confirm the number type, availability and price for the complete number before calling.
If the Malawi number is rejected
Check the country code, national-number length and domestic access prefix. For a business, use its published international geographic number rather than an internal extension or local short code. Never add digits by guesswork.
Recorded mobile network identifiers
The public MCC/MNC registry lists Airtel, TNM for Malawi. A registry entry does not guarantee that a particular number or Dadaphone route is active.
Check local time before calling
Malawi is recorded in UTC+02:00. Check the recipient's current city and date, especially when the destination spans more than one time zone.
Questions before you call
How is a domestic Malawi number written internationally?

Why must I enter the complete Malawi number?
The full number determines whether Dadaphone identifies Malawi, the number type, route availability and the rate. The country code alone does not establish the number type.
