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 eâSIM providers and more than 5,500 prepaid data plans. With such a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eâSIM that suits their needs.
Yes, unlimited data eSIM plans are available for use in Malta. Providers that offer such plans include Firsty, Airhub, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Truely, and Yesim. These plans give nationwide coverage, typically for 1 to 15 day periods, and all advertise unlimited data, though speed may be throttled or limited in certain cases. For example, Firsty restricts speeds to 256âŻkbps, while several other providers specify a 5âŻMbps speed limit; the remaining plans note general throttling without a fixed ceiling. The overall price range for these unlimited data plans runs from free with Firsty up to about 28âŻUSD with abesteSIM, placing most other options between roughly 2âŻUSD and 28âŻUSD for the given validity 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.
