Dhiraagu and travel eSIM in Maldives
Dhiraagu is one of the networks your eSIM may use in Maldives. Here is who actually decides which network you get, and what to do with that.

Quick answer
- 9 of the 9 Maldives plans we sell name Dhiraagu as a reachable network, at 4G.
- Dhiraagu runs LTE on B3, B7 and 5G on n78; your phone needs at least one of them.
- Travel plans connect by roaming, so no plan can promise one specific network.
Dhiraagu in brief
Dhiraagu runs LTE on 1800 MHz (band 3) and 2600 MHz (band 7) and launched 5G in the Maldives in August 2019.
We are not a reseller for this operator and we have not run our own field speed tests. The band and network details below come from the sources listed at the end of the page.
Dhiraagu's bands and technology
| Item | Dhiraagu |
|---|---|
| LTE (4G) | B3, B7 |
| 5G NR | n78 |
| 5G launched | Live |
| Network code (MCC-MNC) | 472-01 |
Checked against the sources on 2026-10-12. Only the bands a source confirmed are listed; the network may run others too.
An eSIM can only use Dhiraagu if your phone supports at least one band in this table. Before you fly, open your model's spec page on the maker's site and compare its LTE and 5G band lists.
Who licenses Dhiraagu
Mobile networks in Maldives are licensed, and their spectrum assigned, by the Communications Authority of Maldives (CAM). The bands above are the ones it allocates. A problem with the local network's own service goes to the operator first; a problem with your eSIM plan comes to us.
The plans on our shelf that name Dhiraagu
From the supplier record behind each package, 9 of the 9 plans we currently sell for Maldives declare Dhiraagu as a network the profile can reach, at 4G. The figure comes from the same catalogue that prices the plan pages, and it moves when the supplier revises the record.
A plan naming Dhiraagu means the network sits in the list the profile may choose from. It does not mean your handset will stay on it. The priority order is the supplier's, and the signal where you stand decides.
Why plans do not name a fixed network
Nearly every travel eSIM is a roaming product: the profile picks a network by an order the supplier sets, not by the buyer. If Dhiraagu is weak where you are, try selecting Ooredoo Maldives manually in the network settings, and keep data roaming on for the eSIM profile.
FAQ
Will my eSIM definitely connect to Dhiraagu?+
9 of our plans name Dhiraagu as reachable, but that is not a guarantee. Travel plans run over roaming agreements, so the network depends on the supplier behind the plan, your device and where you are.
Which bands does my phone need for Dhiraagu?+
At least one of these, LTE: B3, B7; 5G: n78. Your phone's band list is on the maker's spec page for your model, under "Cellular" or "Network".
Does Dhiraagu run 5G, and will my plan get it?+
Yes. Dhiraagu has run commercial 5G, on n78. A travel plan only gets it when the plan permits 5G, your phone supports one of those bands, and you are inside 5G coverage. Miss any one and you fall back to 4G.
How do I see which network I am on?+
Check the carrier name at the top of the screen, or open the mobile-network settings and look at the operator list. If signal is poor, try selecting a network manually instead of automatic, but only one your plan actually supports.
