The Maldives has mobile coverage from two major carriers, Dhiraagu and Ooredoo, supporting 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G networks across key frequency bands including 1800 MHz, 900 MHz, and 3.5 GHz. A travel eSIM will work on any modern eSIM-capable phone and can connect to these local networks upon arrival.
Home-carrier roaming in the Maldives tends to be expensive. Travel eSIM country plans are generally reported as a more economical and straightforward option compared to obtaining a local SIM or eSIM for short visits, though specific circumstances may vary. Some local carriers do issue eSIMs, which remain an alternative if preferred.
