Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for Maldives?
The cheapest Maldives eSIM on MobiMatter costs $9.49 for 1 GB, valid for 7 days. Prices come live from 1 vetted provider and change often; the price on this page is the current one.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Maldives?
For most tourists and business travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Maldives plans start at $9.49 for 1 GB, and you install the eSIM before you fly, so you have data when you land, without queuing for a tourist SIM at the airport. If your home plan already covers Maldives at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Maldives eSIMs use?
Maldives eSIMs on MobiMatter run on Dhiraagu. Every plan names its network, so you can choose the carrier you prefer before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Maldives?
Our best plan for Maldives right now is 3 GB for 30 days at $22.99 from Sparks. We rank plans on quality and value for money, and this one comes first in the list.
How much data do I need for a week in Maldives?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
Do Maldives eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 3 plans for Maldives, where the local network has 5G coverage; the others use 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Maldives eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Maldives plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Maldives eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except models sold in mainland China.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Maldives eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

"Before every trip, my internet solution is definitely Mobimatter. It has never let me down. I once found myself without internet in the middle of a trip with another brand. Now, I don't take any chances; I stick to what I know."

I needed an eSIM for EU and non-EU counties for the same trip. They had one package at a great price that worked great in all location. The app was great as I was able to check my data balance, in real time, quickly and easily during my trip. Would definitely use MobiMatters again. Downloading the eSIM was quick and easy too. In addition, when I reached out to Customer Support on a minor account issue, they were very responsive and addressed my issue quickly and effectively.
