Ooredoo Maldives Introduces First eSIM Smartwatches in Partnership with Samsung

Ooredoo Maldives has announced the launch of the country’s first-ever eSIM-enabled smartwatches in collaboration with Samsung, marking a major step forward in digital connectivity.

With this new service, customers can stay connected directly from their wrist making calls, sending messages, streaming music, and more without needing to have their smartphone nearby.

“At Ooredoo, we are committed to bringing the latest innovations to our customers and transforming digital experiences in the Maldives, said Khalid Al-Hamadi, CEO & MD of Ooredoo Maldives. With Samsung eSIM wearables, we are unlocking new possibilities for connectivity, making it easier for our customers to stay in touch, track their fitness, and manage their daily activities effortlessly.”

Samsung has also expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the impact of this technology on daily life in the Maldives. Thushara Rathnaweera, Deputy General Manager of Samsung Sri Lanka, stated, “Samsung is thrilled to partner with Ooredoo Maldives to launch eSIM on our smartwatches. Whether you’re diving or fishing far from shore, stay connected without your phone track time, share locations, or take calls seamlessly. This announcement is a testament to our commitment to innovation and enhancing the digital lifestyle of users in the Maldives.”

Ooredoo Maldives confirmed that the Samsung eSIM wearable service will be available to customers next month. While the smartwatch can be activated with an existing mobile number, the company will soon release further details on supported devices and activation steps.
