Maldives travel data eSIM
What is a Maldives eSIM?
An eSIM for the Maldives lets you arrive in the archipelago with data ready to go. After installing the profile at home, you simply activate it once you land, and your phone connects to local networks without swapping SIM cards. It’s a convenient way to stay online while exploring the atolls, whether you’re wandering the streets of Malé or relaxing on a resort island.
In the Maldives the eSIM links to Dhiraagu 4G. Your data allowance counts from the moment you first connect to that network, and you can use it for browsing, maps, and messaging throughout your stay. The plan operates on a data‑only basis, so voice calls use your regular carrier.

Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Maldives
When you activate the eSIM in the Maldives it connects to Dhiraagu’s 4G network. The actual reach of the service depends on Dhiraagu’s infrastructure in the area you are visiting, so you’ll have access wherever the operator’s network is present.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Maldives eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM connects to Dhiraagu 4G. This gives you access to the same mobile data services that local Dhiraagu customers use, so you can browse, use apps, and stay connected just as they do.
Can the Maldives eSIM be used in a neighbouring country, such as Sri Lanka?
No, this is a single‑country plan valid only in the Maldives. Regional plans are available for travelers who need connectivity in multiple nearby countries.
Which plan size suits a trip to Malé and Addu Atoll?
As a rough guide, the 5 GB or 10 GB 30‑day plans usually cover moderate use across two destinations, allowing for navigation, messaging, and occasional streaming.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
