Questions

Will a water villa have signal?

An inhabited island usually has the partner network. A sandbank in the middle of the atoll does not.

When should I install an eSIM for Maldives?

Install the eSIM from the QR code on Wi-Fi before you fly. Turn the data line on after you land. The plan card says when the validity starts.

Can I use a hotspot with an eSIM in Maldives?

Raqoon plans usually allow a personal hotspot. Turn on the modem for the eSIM line in the phone settings.

Do I need a passport to buy the eSIM?

You do not need a passport to buy on the site. The QR code arrives in your account and by email after payment.

Do I have to change my home number?

No. Your home number stays for calls and SMS. Data goes through the eSIM.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, a full refund until the eSIM is installed. After installation the plan cannot be returned or exchanged.
