Coverage & connectivity.
Dhiraagu and Ooredoo Maldives cover the main populated atolls with 4G/LTE. Malé city and Hulhumalé (the new town island) have 5G. Velana International Airport and the transit jetty have excellent 4G. Major tourist resort atolls in North and South Malé Atoll, Baa Atoll (UNESCO Biosphere Reserve), and Ari Atoll have 4G at resort facilities. Remote outer atolls (Addu, Laamu, Gaafu) have 4G in atoll capitals but smaller uninhabited islands lack coverage. Seaplane transfer routes pass through areas with no coverage mid-flight. Resort island lagoons and overwater villa decks typically have 4G from the nearest inhabited island tower.
Questions about Maldives
Does the eSIM work on resort islands in the Maldives?
Yes. Most resort islands in North and South Malé Atoll, Baa Atoll, and Ari Atoll have 4G from Dhiraagu. Overwater bungalows typically have coverage from the resort's own island tower.
Is there 5G in Malé?
Yes. Malé city and Hulhumalé have 5G from Dhiraagu. The airport island (Velana International) also has strong 4G/5G.
Does this eSIM work during seaplane transfers?
Signal is lost during seaplane flights over open ocean. Coverage resumes on landing at the destination island. Download maps and entertainment before boarding.
Can I use this eSIM at remote southern atolls like Addu?
Yes. Addu Atoll (Gan island, Hithadhoo) has 4G. Smaller uninhabited islands and sandbanks used for day trips may have no signal.
What currency does the Maldives use?
Maldivian rufiyaa (MVR). US dollars are widely accepted at resorts. Local guesthouses and Malé restaurants prefer MVR. Most high-end resorts are fully USD-based.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
