Was on a cruise ship for these four countries (MSC world Europea). This plan has multiple network carriers per country so I was able to have coverage even while on the boat in the middle of the ocean because it was able to switch carriers so quickly. Plus I got the Europe + USA plan so I was able to use the remaining data at home instead of using my regular cellular plan.
Malta offers over 100 eSIM providers and more than 4,900 prepaid data plans. The large number of prepaid choices provides travelers with a wide variety of options to suit their needs.
Multiple providers offer unlimited data eSIM options for travel to Malta. Firsty’s 1‑day plan is free but includes ads and a 256 kbps speed limit, while Airhub and Roamify provide 1‑to‑15‑day and 1‑to‑10‑day unlimited plans respectively, with potential throttling. Billion Connect, Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Truely, and Yesim all offer unlimited data for 1‑to‑10‑day periods, allowing tethering in most cases and, where noted, a 5 Mbps speed cap or throttling. Prices for these unlimited options range from around $0 to $30 USD, depending on the plan length and provider. This range allows travelers to choose a duration that fits their stay and budget while ensuring unlimited connectivity, though speed may be reduced during high‑traffic periods.
Malta's mobile network infrastructure is supported by three primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):
GO Mobile: Offers a comprehensive range of mobile services, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks, with extensive coverage across Malta and Gozo.
Epic: Formerly known as Vodafone Malta, Epic provides 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G services, covering over 95% of the population indoors and outdoors in Malta and Gozo.
Melita: Operates a 4G/LTE network with nationwide coverage across Malta and Gozo, offering speeds of up to 1Gbps.
In addition to these MNOs, Malta hosts Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) such as YOM and Smarty. MVNOs provide mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure rather than MVNOs.
