Why RoamZivo for Malta
Skip the rental counter
No pocket Wi-Fi or SIM counter to find when you land in Malta, and nothing to return before you fly home. The eSIM is installed before you leave.
Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Malta travel data guide
A Malta eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Malta that you install before you fly. Plans in Malta run on Vodafone and GO, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 18 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Europe eSIM covers Malta and 33 other countries on one plan, from $1.99. The Global eSIM covers Malta and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Malta, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Malta from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Malta FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Malta?
It connects wherever Vodafone and GO have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Malta, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Malta?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is 3 GB enough for a week in Malta?
There is no 3 GB plan for exactly 7 days in Malta. The nearest are 3 GB for 15 days and unlimited for 7 days. For a week of maps, browsing and photos, 3 GB is enough, and the unused days simply expire.
Which networks does the Malta eSIM use?
It uses Vodafone and GO. Both are listed at 5G on the Malta plans. Your phone will choose one automatically, and it can move to the other if the first has a weak signal where you are.
Do I need an eSIM for Malta if my plan includes roaming?
Maybe not. If your home plan already includes Malta with a decent data allowance, you can use that. Check the allowance and the daily charge with your carrier. The eSIM makes sense when roaming costs more than the plan shown here.
How long does it take to set up?
Setup takes a few minutes once you have the QR code, which is emailed after payment. Do it on WiFi before travelling to Malta. The plan does not start until the eSIM first connects there, so there is no rush on the day.
Can I use the eSIM and my own SIM together?
Yes. Most eSIM phones run both lines at once. Keep your own SIM for calls and texts, and set the eSIM for mobile data in Malta. Turn data roaming off on your own SIM to avoid charges from your carrier.
Can I share my Malta data with family?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Malta plans. Everyone sharing uses the same allowance, or the same daily full speed amount on an unlimited plan. A family on one plan should choose an unlimited plan with 3 GB per day.
Can I get a refund if I don't travel?
There is a refund policy, and its terms are on the refund policy page. Read it before buying if your Malta dates are uncertain. For anything unclear, email support, who answer seven days a week.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
