Telecom SIM cards are being digitalised as part of ongoing modernisation of mobile services in the Maldives.

The change means customers will be able to activate and manage SIM services through digital processes rather than relying solely on physical cards. The step is expected to streamline distribution and improve convenience.

Telecommunications providers have been expanding digital services, including eSIM options and online account management. Full digitalisation of traditional SIM cards represents a further shift in how mobile connectivity is delivered.

Further implementation details and timelines are expected from the operators and regulatory authorities.
