GulfData does not provide a Maldives eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. All of its plans for the Maldives are data‑only. Travelers who need voice or text services can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection, but they should verify beforehand that these apps are accessible in the Maldives, as certain services may be restricted or blocked in that destination.
