Those only apply to one line.  If you need two lines with the international data pass.  You will need to purchase one for each line.

Malawi is a “Simple Choice” international roaming country, so you should have cheap roaming. However, much of the country seems to have only 2G service, so you should not expect high-speed data outside of the cities. Depending on where you are going, a data pass may or may not do much good. I’m also hesitant to give any assurances regarding anything in central Africa.

If you have an Android phone, you’d perform a service to the community by installing and running CellMapper as you travel about the country.
