    • Vilhena Palace
    • Greek Gate

What to install before you land in Malta

    Dominant rideshare across Malta. Cheaper than the fixed-price airport taxi rank.

    Local licensed-taxi alternative — useful when Bolt surge prices spike in Paceville.

    Food + grocery delivery across Malta + Gozo. Useful for late-night runs from St Julian’s apartments.

Free eSIM for Malta FAQs by co:sim

Everything you need to know about the free new-user eSIM offer.

Does the eSIM work on Gozo and Comino?
Yes. GO provides full 5G across Victoria, Xlendi, Marsalforn + Dwejra. Comino lacks its own tower but receives signal from both Malta + Gozo cells — covering the Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon + Santa Marija Caves.
Can I use it on the Valletta ferry and Gozo ferry?
Yes for both. The short Valletta–Sliema ferry maintains signal throughout, and the 25-min Cirkewwa–Mġarr Gozo crossing keeps 4G the entire way.
Will it work at Mdina and other historical sites?
Yes. Coverage reaches Mdina, Ħagar Qim, Tarxien temples + Valletta’s Grandmaster’s Palace — Maltese heritage sites were prioritised during the 5G rollout.
How is coverage at the Blue Grotto sea caves?
Signal stays strong on the surface approach but drops inside each grotto for ~5 minutes. Uploads queue until you exit.
Who's eligible for the free eSIM?
New users who have not previously claimed a free eSIM. Eligibility is verified at checkout.
Will I be charged anything?
$0 is charged for the free eSIM. A valid card is collected at checkout for verification only — this prevents the same person claiming multiple free eSIMs. You only pay if you choose to top up later.
How long is the free eSIM valid?
Install and activate the eSIM within 30 days after purchase. Once activated, the free plan is valid for 7 days from your first connection. After that, top up anytime to extend the validity — the same eSIM keeps working.
Can I top up or buy more data after?
Yes. Top up the same eSIM with any paid plan at any time — your data and validity extend instantly, no reinstall required. You can also buy plans for any of our 190+ other destinations.
Can I claim the free eSIM again?
No. This free eSIM is a new-user offer, so it can only be claimed once.
How does the free plan compare to paid plans?
Same high-quality network coverage. Paid plans offer more data and longer validity — and you can top up onto your free eSIM at any time.
