Maldives: Mobile Coverage & Carriers
Maldives has two major mobile network operators: Dhiraagu and Ooredoo. Both carriers provide commercial 3G and 4G/LTE services across the country. 5G services have also been commercially launched, though specific coverage details remain limited. Some local carriers in Maldives do issue eSIMs, though the availability and rollout status may vary by operator.
Roaming eSIMs in Maldives typically connect to networks using LTE bands B3 (1800 MHz), B8 (900 MHz), and 5G band n78 (3.5 GHz). However, confidence in the comprehensive accuracy of available network information for Maldives is currently low, and travelers should verify specific band support and coverage with their roaming provider before arrival.

Compiled from public-record telecom facts (the MNO roster, commercially-launched 3G/4G/5G generations, deployed travel-relevant bands and local-eSIM support) and verified June 2026; see the source we compile this country from. This country's connectivity row is currently low-confidence (small / island / single-operator / fast-changing market), so treat the carrier, band and 5G details as a starting point we are still verifying.
