A few useful things before you go.
For the Maldives, the island you are staying on matters as much as the data amount. Check the current network and coverage information for your stay, then compare the plan with the Wi-Fi arrangements at your accommodation. If you are unsure about a particular island, ask us before relying on mobile data there.

Choose a planLand first.
Then install.
We’ll email your setup details when your eSIM is ready. Save the email for your arrival.
Wait until you have landed before using Quick Install, scanning the QR code, entering the manual code or activating the eSIM.
Join the airport’s passenger Wi-Fi and complete its sign-in screen. Open a webpage to check you’re connected.
Then open your SIM Shop setup email and follow the instructions to install and activate your eSIM.
Wi-Fi not working? Wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady, trusted connection before installing.
Check that your phone supports eSIM and is network unlocked before buying.
For a Maldives island stay, check the selected plan for your resort or inhabited island, as well as arranging the transfer from Velana International Airport. Keep the island name and arrival contact with the booking.
Messages and calls in apps use your data. Standard calls, SMS and a local number need a separate mobile service.
Choose a fixed data allowance for your trip. Compare the total data, validity and price, then check the selected plan’s coverage and start window.
Buy Maldives eSIM data before you travel. Pick the data amount that fits your trip and save the setup email, but do not tap quick install, scan the QR code, enter the manual code or activate the eSIM before departure.
For a Maldives island stay, check the selected plan for your resort or inhabited island, as well as arranging the transfer from Velana International Airport. Keep the island name and arrival contact with the booking.
Resort transfers may use speedboats or seaplanes. Save your transfer confirmation and meeting instructions offline before the journey; check the transfer route separately rather than assuming the resort’s coverage applies along the way. Ask your property what Wi-Fi is available during your stay, then choose your mobile data allowance around the time you expect to spend away from it. If you are changing islands, check each stop rather than carrying the first resort’s assumptions into the next.
These plans are data-only unless a product option says otherwise. They do not include a local phone number for standard calls or SMS. Check compatibility, coverage, validity and hotspot needs before purchase.
Recommended setup timing: buy before you fly, then install only after you land. Join the airport’s free passenger Wi-Fi where offered, complete its sign-in page and open a normal webpage to prove it works. If it is unavailable or unstable, wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady trusted connection. Open your SIM Shop setup email and install only when that Wi-Fi test works.
