Most islands in the Maldives have access to the internet. Malé, the mainland and capital, has no internet cafes, although normal cafes, coffee shops, and hotels often have Wi-Fi. Most of the island resorts have access to the internet, although this is rarely free for guests.
Most international mobile phone companies have roaming agreements in the Maldives, and coverage is decent across most islands. However, some blind spots exist owing to the unique layout of the country. The international dialling code for the Maldives is +960, and you can buy SIM cards at the Malé International Airport, and you can get top-ups in most island resort stores.
Visitors can send post in the Maldives via airmail. Post heading to western Europe often takes approximately one week, and office hours are 07:30-13:30 and 16:00-17:50 Saturday through to Thursday. Post offices are established on every inhabited island apart from those that have sub-post offices.
