You can simply top up online on the Airalo website and not worry about language barriers when dealing with local agents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While incoming calls are accepted, because you get a Maldivian phone number, you can make calls or send\/receive text message<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Airalo Ooredoo Maldives eSIM Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What are the main cons of Airalo's Ooredoo Maldives eSIMs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Unlike most Airalo eSIMs, this eSIM requires you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/phone-travel-options\/sim-card-registration\/\">to verify your identity<\/a> (through the Airalo website or app) because the eSIMs are issued in corperation with Ooredoo Maldives (but this can be done before going to the Maldives)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is no 5G NR access with the Ooredoo Maldives eSIM (yet)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Airalo Ooredoo Maldives eSIM Overall Thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, the Ooredoo Maldives eSIM is fantastic for heavy data use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plans offered with Ooredoo Maldives eSIMs are generous and affordable (for Maldivian standards &ndash; nothing is cheap there &#129322;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get fast speeds and direct access to the Ooredoo Maldives network, without standing in queues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And everything, purchasing and topping up, can be done online on the Airalo website or Airalo app (downloading the app is recommended).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow
