Does an eSIM work in the Maldives?
Yes. This eSIM runs on Dhiraagu. Coverage is strong in Male, Hulhumale and around the resort islands, and thinner on the open-sea crossings between atolls, and it covers Male, Hulhumale, Addu City and the resort atolls. It can thin out only in very remote areas.
How much data do I need in Maldives?
Most travelers use around 1GB a day in the Maldives across maps and messaging, though many resorts add their own Wi-Fi. A week is comfortable on 3GB to 5GB. Longer trips and island-hopping lean to larger bundles. Getting between islands means boat and seaplane hops, so mobile data matters most while you are in transit.
Is the Maldives eSIM unlimited?
Our daily plans give you unlimited data at full speed each day. If you prefer a fixed amount, choose a prepaid plan from the 1GB to 20GB, or unlimited daily range above.
Will the Maldives eSIM work on my phone?
Yes, on any eSIM-compatible unlocked device, including iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. It installs alongside your normal SIM, so nothing is removed.
When should I install my Maldives eSIM?
Install it before you fly, ideally the night before. Activation uses no data, so you are online the moment you land in the Maldives.
Can I keep my number and use WhatsApp?
Yes. The Maldives eSIM adds data only, so your regular SIM keeps your number for calls and texts. Apps like Viber, WhatsApp and Telegram work over the eSIM.
What happens when I use up the daily full-speed data?
On unlimited daily plans you are never cut off. After each day's full-speed allowance, data continues unlimited at a reduced speed until the day resets, enough for messages, email and maps anywhere in the Maldives.
Can I hotspot to my laptop or travel partner?
Yes. Tethering works on our plans, so you can share the connection with a laptop or a travel partner in the Maldives. Heavy hotspot use counts toward your daily full-speed data.
Is it too early to buy my Maldives eSIM?
It is never too early. Validity starts on your first connection in the Maldives, not at purchase. Buy today, install whenever you like, and the plan sits ready until you land.
What if the eSIM does not work on my phone?
You are covered. Check the compatibility notes before buying, and if your eSIM will not connect and we cannot fix it, you get a full refund. Refunds are available any time until the eSIM is installed.
