Avelis eSIM does not provide a Maldives eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Travelers who purchase an Avelis eSIM for the Maldives can only use the data allowance and cannot send or receive SMS messages or make voice calls using a local phone number.
Travelers who need to communicate can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection. However, because some destinations restrict or block certain VoIP services, it is advisable to verify that the apps you rely on are accessible in the Maldives before purchasing an Avelis eSIM plan.
