SIM Cards in the Maldives: The Best Prepaid Plans | 2024 Guide

The Maldives – known for their pristine beaches, resorts & fantastic weather.

Because of all these factors, the Maldives is a popular travel destination for those experiencing (a cold) winter(s) in the Northern Hemisphere.

But is laying on the beach the only thing you can do in the Maldives?

No… but also yes.

While there are some museums to see, malls to explore & markets to stroll through, the Maldives is a true beach-life destination.

Oh, the nightlife is fantastic too – so you have got that going too.

What is not fantastic is that the Maldives is an expensive travel destination.

While the resorts are next-level, the prices can be out of the world too.

So any way to save some money is always a good thing, such as using a local SIM card.

Local SIM cards, and local rates, are almost always cheaper than international roaming.

Luckily, the costs of SIM cards in the Maldives are low.

You can get a Maldivian SIM card for 30 MVR (1.95 USD) with 20 MVR (1.30 USD) credit from both Dhiraagu and Ooredoo. They also sell tourist SIM cards with generous starter packs from 11 USD to 50 USD at Malé-Velana International Airport and some regular Dhiraagu and Ooredoo stores.

Yes, those tourist SIM cards do sound expensive. But you always get data with them.

Most include data and SMS. So it is not just 50 USD for a SIM card. That is some Diego Garcia type of scam.

Is there a lot to know about Maldavian SIM cards with just two mobile operators?

Yes, and that is why I wrote this guide.

In this guide, I will tell you everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in the Maldives. Let's do this.

What is the Best SIM Card in Maldives?

If you want to buy the best SIM card in the Maldives, I recommend going with Dhiraagu. It has the best coverage and the fastest speeds. It also has more choice in plans.

Phone Travel Wiz Approved Seal

Maldives has two mobile network operators offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:

  • Dhiraagu (Dhivehi Raajjeygé Gulhun)
  • Ooredoo Maldives

Anyone living in or visiting Maldives can buy a Maldivian SIM card with no real restrictions, but you do have to comply with Maldives's SIM card registration regulations.

Regarding the registration requirements, you must show your passport at the point of sale.

Where Can You Buy a Maldivian SIM Card (+Prices)?

You can expect to pay the following for Maldivian SIM cards:

  • Dhiraagu: 30 MVR with 20 MVR credit
  • Ooredoo Maldives: 30 MVR with 20 MVR credit

Be aware that SIM cards sold at airports can be more expensive than the prices mentioned earlier.

  • 1000 MVR = 65.05 USD
  • 10 000 MVR = 650.30 USD

(Travel) eSIMs for Maldives

The use of (travel) eSIMs has exploded in recent years.

Not only do more phones have eSIM capability (some US-sold iPhones are eSIM-only), but the number of providers adopting technology has proliferated as well.

This includes local mobile operators offering eSIM and platforms selling eSIMs (travel eSIMs).

If you want a local Maldivian eSIM, you can get one from Dhiraagu or Ooredoo Maldives.

But remember that you have to comply with Maldives's SIM card registration regulations, even when you get a Maldivian eSIM.

If you do not wish to deal with registration for whatever reason, like privacy, consider getting a travel eSIM for Maldives.

Many eSIM providers have eSIMs for Maldives only, eSIMs for multiple Asian destinations & even global eSIMs, which I discuss in my Maldives eSIM buying guide.

Buying an eSIM for the Maldives Guide (logos of Holafly, Ooredoo & Airalo)

Here is a quick introduction to your Maldives travel eSIM options:

  • Airalo: Ooredo (Maldives only), Asialink (14 countries in Asia) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS)
  • Holafly: Maldives
  • SimOptions: Asia (32 countries)

And I know you love discounts, so use one of these codes when getting a travel eSIM:

  • Airalo: MAR15 for 15% off (if you have never bought an Airalo eSIM before). Otherwise, MAR10 for 10% off (for existing users) – only the first 3000 users can redeem either discount code)
  • Holafly: PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)

If you want to know about all the prices, data options & covered countries (for the regional and global eSIMs), check out my Maldives eSIM buying guide.

Dhiraagu (Dhivehi Raajjeygé Gulhun)

Dhiraagu Maldives Logo

Dhiraagu, standing for Dhivehi Raajjeygé Gulhun, is the largest mobile operator in the Maldives.

It held a monopoly from 1988 to 2005 until Ooredoo entered the Maldivian telecom market.

In the past, Dhiraagu was a joint venture by the Maldivian government and Cable & Wireless.

Now, it is owned mainly by Batelco from Bahrain (52%), partially owned by the Maldivian government (42%) & some other shareholders (6%).

Dhiraagu uses the following frequencies:

  • 2G: 900 MHz
  • 3G: 2100 MHz
  • 4G/LTE: 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
  • 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78)

This is what you will learn about Dhiraagu:

* Coverage
* How to Get a Dhiraagu SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings

Coverage – Dhiraagu

Dhiraagu has the best coverage in the Maldives.

4G/LTE reception can be found almost anywhere – even on the smaller islands.

Below is Dhiraagu's coverage map produced by Speedtest:

SIM Card Price – Dhiraagu

You can get a Dhiraagu SIM card for 30 MVR with 20 MVR credit in Dhiraagu stores. They are also available at Malé-Velana International Airport. Dhiraagu Treaveler SIM cards, for between 11 USD to 50 USD, are also available at the airport and regular Dhiraagu stores.

Dhiraagu Maldives Traveler SIM Card

It is also possible to get a Dhiraagu eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card or for 30 MVR if you change from a physical SIM card to an eSIM.

You may want to get a travel eSIM for the Maldives, which can be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Dhiraagu (in some cases).

Especially when getting an eSIM covering popular Asian destinations if you do not stay in just Maldives or a global eSIM valid for up to a year if you want one eSIM to work practically worldwide.

My Maldives eSIM buying guide analyzes various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.

Here is a quick introduction to them:

  • Airalo: Ooredoo (Maldives only) – use code MAR15 (15% off – first-time users only) or MAR10 (10% off)
  • Holafly: Maldives – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)

For more information, such as the prices and data allowances, check out my Maldives eSIM buying guide.

The Preferred Way to Stay Connected When Traveling in the Maldives

Getting a SIM card from Dhiraagu would do you well when considering a Maldivian SIM card.

Going to other places around the world? Then you should also check out my SIM card buying guides for other destinations around the world.
