Questions about Malta eSIMs
Is there any signal out on a dive boat off Malta?
Treat the water as offline.
The coverage list on this page names Malta and rules on no bay or boat of its own, so agree the plan with the shop before the lines come off.
Does a Malta plan answer for Gozo as well?
Read the coverage list on this page for that.
It names the country and the network your plan uses and goes no further, so a crossing and whatever is at the other end are not listed one by one.
Can I keep in touch with a dive shop between dives?
That is most of the use a plan gets on a week like this.
A changed time or a cancelled boat is news you want as soon as somebody sends it, rather than at the moment you turn up at the quay for it.
What is worth having on the phone between dives?
The log, the next pickup and something to read.
An hour in the shade is a good moment to sort out the following day rather than leaving it until everybody has gone to dinner.
What size should I pick for a diving week?
Less than a working trip would want, if the handset spends its days in a dry bag.
The cards above carry the data each plan holds and the days it lasts, so choose for the evenings rather than the dives.
Questions about every Ryvo plan
Will it work on my phone?
Does it come with a phone number?
No.
Ryvo eSIMs are data only.
There's no phone number, and you can't make calls or send texts on the eSIM itself.
Can I keep my usual number?
Yes.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and texts, and set the eSIM as your mobile data line.
Your carrier's roaming rates still apply to calls and texts, so check them before you go.
Can I share my data as a hotspot?
It depends on the plan.
Each plan says whether hotspot is allowed before you pay.
What if I run out of data?
Add data from your order page if your plan can be topped up.
If it can't, buy another plan for the same destination.
What if my eSIM won't connect?
Email us and we'll work through it with you, starting with your phone's mobile data settings.
If we can't get it working, our refund policy explains what happens next.
Before you go
Malta and the network your plan runs on are what the coverage list on this page names.
A dive boat, a bay and the water itself fall outside anything that list says.
Nothing on a phone helps underwater, so settle the day while you are still on dry land.
Agree the pickup, the site and the hour before the boat leaves.
Salt and screens do not mix.
Keep the handset in something properly dry, and work out who is carrying it before everybody gets in.
Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
