The best value per gigabyte is the Malta 100 GB 30 Days plan at £47.00, which works out at £0.47 per GB, with the 50 GB 30 Days plan just behind at £24.00 (£0.48 per GB).

What to look for in a travel eSIM for Malta
Malta is compact, but you will still lean on your phone constantly, whether you are following a map through Valletta's side streets or booking a table from the beach. Before you buy, four things matter more than anything else.
- Coverage on more than one network. An eSIM that can connect to more than one local network gives you a better chance of a signal wherever you wander. Keep On Roaming plans in Malta use both Go and Vodafone.
- Plan flexibility. A weekend break and a month of remote work need very different plans. Look for a range that spans small fixed allowances, big bundles and unlimited options, so you only pay for what you will actually use.
- Top-ups. Running out of data mid-trip should not mean buying and installing a whole new eSIM. With Keep On Roaming you can add more data to your existing eSIM from your account dashboard.
- Installation before you fly. The best time to set up an eSIM is at home on your own Wi-Fi, not in an arrivals hall. Install via QR code before you travel, and the plan activates when you arrive in Malta and connect.

On the fixed allowance plans, the price per gigabyte falls steadily as the allowance grows, from £4.50 per GB on the 1 GB plan down to £0.48 per GB on the 50 GB plan and £0.47 per GB on the 100 GB plan. If you know roughly how much data you get through in a month, the bigger allowances reward planning ahead.
For shorter trips, the unlimited plans keep things simple. A long weekend is covered by the Unlimited 3 Days plan at £10.50, and a fortnight by the Unlimited 15 Days plan at £18.50. If you mostly rely on hotel Wi-Fi, the 2 GB 15 Days plan at £6.50 is a sensible lighter option for the same sort of stay.
All plans connect to Malta's Go and Vodafone networks, and both networks support 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G.
Frequently asked questions
Will my phone work with an eSIM?
Most recent smartphones support eSIM, but it is worth checking before you buy. Look for an option such as "Add eSIM" or "Add mobile plan" in your phone's settings, and make sure your phone is unlocked, as a phone locked to your home network cannot use another provider's eSIM.
When should I install my Malta eSIM?
Before you fly. Install the eSIM via the QR code while you are at home on reliable Wi-Fi. It activates when you arrive in Malta and connect, so you can step off the plane already set up.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up your existing eSIM with more data from your account dashboard. There is no need to buy or install a new eSIM, and you will not lose your settings mid-trip.
Will my phone number change?
No. Keep On Roaming plans are data-only, so your existing SIM, number, calls and texts keep working alongside the eSIM. Apps that are linked to your number stay linked to it.
Do I need to remove my current SIM?
No. The eSIM works alongside your existing SIM. Set the eSIM as your data line when you arrive, and switch off data roaming on your home SIM if you want to be sure it is not used abroad.
Which networks will I use in Malta?
Your eSIM connects to Go and Vodafone, and both support 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G.
