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 more than 100 travel eSIM providers and over 5,400 prepaid data plans, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose from.
Multiple eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for travelers to Malta. The options include Firsty, Airhub, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Truely, and Yesim. All of these plans are advertised as “unlimited”; however, most of them include a speed‑throttling clause, and a few list specific speed caps such as 5 Mbps or 256 kbps. Pricing for unlimited coverage ranges from zero dollars with Firsty’s 1‑day plan (which contains ads and a very low speed limit) up to roughly $28.56 for a 10‑day plan from abesteSIM. In general, the cheapest unlimited options begin around $2 to $3 for a week‑long validity, while the most expensive tend to be close to $28 for a similar period. Travelers can estimate their data needs based on activities such as streaming, social media, and navigation, and then choose an unlimited plan that offers a suitable mix of cost, speed, and validity to cover those needs comfortably.
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.
