Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for Maldives?
The cheapest Maldives eSIM on MobiMatter is a plan for Maldives alone: $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 travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Maldives plans start at $9.49 for 1 GB, and all of them use Dhiraagu, so check its coverage for the places you will visit. If your home plan already covers Maldives at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Maldives eSIMs use?
Every Maldives eSIM on MobiMatter connects to Dhiraagu, so your coverage is that network's coverage. If you are heading somewhere remote, check its coverage map before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Maldives?
For Maldives alone, our top plan right now is 3 GB for 30 days at $22.99 from Sparks. We rank plans on quality and value for money; this is the highest-ranked plan that covers only Maldives.
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 most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.
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.

nice app. I used it during my travel in Spain last year and the internet speed was always good. I didn't have any issues. I now bought a package that covers both Portugal and Spain, as I am going there tomorrow.

Excellent Customer Support! I had trouble installing my Egypt eSIM, but MobiMatter's support team responded quickly and guided me through the troubleshooting steps. The issue turned out to be my VPN, and I was able to resolve it by turning it off. Thanks to the support team for their help and patience. Great service!

"Having 365-day packages is very good for me, I am a cabin crew member and I use it without any problems wherever I go. Sometimes it even works in places that are not on the list. I am very satisfied and will renew my package when it expires."
