GIGAGO does not offer any Malta eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability; all available plans from this provider are data‑only. Travelers who need a local number for calls or texting will need to use an alternative service.
For those who rely on messaging or voice, popular VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage can be used over the data connection, as these do not require a local phone number or SMS. Some destinations, however, may block or limit access to certain apps; it is advisable to verify that the apps you use are reachable in Malta before purchasing GIGAGO’s data‑only eSIM.
