Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Maldives
In Maldives, travelers can choose from more than 100 travel eSIM brands and over 1100 prepaid data plans. Since there is a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that suits their travel needs.
Both abesteSIM and Yesim offer unlimited data eSIM plans that can be used in the Maldives. The abesteSIM plan is valid for 1 to 30 days and ranges in price from about $20.03 to $460.74 USD; while it is marketed as unlimited, the data speed may be throttled and is capped at a maximum of 5 Mbps. The Yesim plan is available for 1 to 15 days with a price range of roughly $21.36 to $126.54 USD, and it also may experience speed throttling. All plans allow tethering, but the actual speed experienced can vary, especially during peak times. The wide price ranges reflect differences in validity period and data limits after throttling, so travelers should choose a plan that matches their expected data use and desired duration.
In the Maldives, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:
Dhiraagu: Established in 1988, Dhiraagu is the country's first telecommunications company, offering extensive 4G coverage across all inhabited islands, resorts, and industrial areas.
Ooredoo Maldives: Launched in 2005, Ooredoo provides nationwide coverage to over 98% of the Maldives, including all inhabited islands, with a focus on expanding its 4G and 5G networks.
Additionally, the Maldives has Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. For example, Raajjé Online operates as an MVNO in the country. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.
Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS functionality are available for Maldives. Providers that offer such plans are Airhub, Airalo, Orange Travel, GlobaleSIM, and Roamify. These plans allow inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS, with some plans offering full SMS support (both inbound and outbound).
Most of the options give users a local Maldives number with the dialing code +960, which is the country code for Maldives; this includes Airhub, Airalo, and Orange Travel. The other providers issue foreign numbers using the dialing code +1, which is not local to Maldives but still supports voice and SMS. Prices for the available eSIMs range from as low as $6 for a 1 GB, 7‑day plan up to about $80 for a 20 GB, 30‑day plan, and validity periods vary from 7 to 30 days.
