Maya Mobile travel eSIM
Overview
What is Maya Mobile?
Maya Mobile is an unlimited-led travel eSIM run by Mobile Maya Inc., registered in Nassau, Bahamas. Its headline global plan bundles unlimited data across 165+ countries on time-based windows (a 3-day pass lists at USD 9.99 and a 14-day pass at USD 27.99 on the brand's own US plan page), with Wi-Fi hotspot sharing included. "Unlimited" here means data is never fully cut off: after 3GB in a day, speed steps down to 10 Mbps, and to 1 Mbps only on very heavy use, with full speed restored within 24 hours. Simscanner has sourced Maya Mobile plan rows on 54 published country pages across 7 of its 8 regions.

What Maya Mobile is
Maya Mobile is a travel eSIM operated by Mobile Maya Inc., registered in Nassau, Bahamas, with its terms governed by Delaware (USA) law. It sells prepaid mobile data plans , global, regional, single-country, and cruise-line eSIMs , that travellers install on an eSIM-capable phone to get online abroad without a physical SIM. Its global plans bundle 165+ countries (plus 20+ cruise lines) into one time-based purchase, and plans are bought and managed through the Maya Mobile app and website. Data can be topped up at any time, with Auto Top Up and Auto Renew available for up to 180 days.
What sets the brand's positioning apart is that it leads with unlimited data rather than fixed buckets: there is no fixed total cap, and the connection is never fully switched off , a fair use rule reduces speed rather than cutting access. This page describes what Maya Mobile offers and how Simscanner tracks it. It is a factual record, not a recommendation: Simscanner does not sell eSIMs, does not name a best brand, and shows a price only where it has been read from a brand or aggregator source with a retrieved date. Corporate details above are recorded only where Simscanner holds a primary source; the founding year, KYC default, and per-country network mapping read as pending until independently verified.
Countries tracked
Simscanner has sourced a Maya Mobile plan row on 54 of its published country pages, each linking to that country's full ranking. Maya Mobile's own global plan covers 165+ countries, so the brand sells in far more places than Simscanner has yet published; only countries with a sourced plan row are counted here.
54 country pages carry a sourced Maya plan
SourcedEach sourced country row is read from the brand's plan page or a reputable aggregator and re-checked at least every 90 days. The global unlimited plan is consistently listed at USD 9.99 for 3 days and USD 27.99 for 14 days across the country pages where maya.net's own listing was read.

Regions tracked
Simscanner tracks eight canonical regions. A region reads "Sourced" once at least one Simscanner country page in it carries a sourced Maya Mobile plan row , currently seven of the eight. Only the Caribbean has no sourced Maya row yet, so it stays pending. A verified regional-plan score is separate and still pending across the board.
Coverage
How clearly a brand publishes the country list for each plan , and how Simscanner checks it.
Coverage transparency measures whether a brand publishes, on its own plan pages, the exact list of countries each plan includes , so a traveller can confirm a destination is covered before relying on it. Simscanner reads that published list directly from the brand source and re-verifies it on a schedule, rather than repeating marketing claims about how many countries are "supported".
For Maya Mobile, the brand states that every plan includes 165+ countries (plus 20+ cruise lines), read from its own eSIM page. Simscanner records that headline figure as sourced, while the exact per-country list inside each plan is still being mapped page by page. For how breadth is weighed across brands, see which eSIM has the best coverage.
Country count published per plan
Maya states 165+ countries in every plan; the full per-country list is still being mapped.
SourcedRe-verification cadence
Coverage is re-checked at least every 90 days once verified.
PendingLocal network transparency
Which local carrier a brand connects to in each country shapes real-world speed and reliability. Simscanner maps this country by country from sourced data , never from assumption.
Network mapping is per country
Brand-level pendingMaya Mobile rides local partner networks that differ by destination, so Simscanner does not assert a single brand-wide carrier. Where a country source names the partner, it is recorded on that country page , for example Movistar in Chile and Telenor / Telia in Norway. A complete, verified carrier map across all tracked countries is still pending.
Unlimited and fair use policy
Whether a brand markets "unlimited" plans, and whether it publishes a fair use policy (FUP) threshold, is one of Simscanner's tracked categories. Thresholds are only ever shown as a sourced quote , never estimated.
Maya Mobile , unlimited & FUP
FUP wording sourcedMaya Mobile is one of the more transparent unlimited brands Simscanner tracks: its help centre publishes a clear fair use rule rather than burying it. The key point is that data is never fully cut off , the policy reduces speed rather than blocking access , and full speed returns within 24 hours. Some single-country plans publish their own daily cap instead (for example 3GB/day on Belgium, Mexico, and Portugal, or 5GB/day on the Poland MAX tier), recorded on those country pages.

Hotspot tethering
Hotspot (tethering) support varies by brand and sometimes by plan. Simscanner states a brand's policy only from its own published wording, with the date retrieved.
Some travellers depend on tethering , sharing the eSIM connection with a laptop, tablet, or a travel companion's phone. Because policies differ and occasionally change by plan, Simscanner does not infer hotspot support; it records the brand's stated allowance verbatim, with a retrieved date, once verified.
Maya Mobile's help centre states that Wi-Fi hotspot and internet sharing is included on both iOS and Android, subject to the local network in use. That makes it one of the brands where tethering is built in rather than blocked. For how this category is weighed, see hotspot with a travel eSIM.
Hotspot allowed?
Yes , internet sharing included on iOS and Android, subject to the local network.

SourcedDevice compatibility & activation
The general requirements that apply to any travel eSIM. Brand- or model-specific details are only listed once sourced.
Like all eSIMs, a Maya Mobile plan needs a device that is both eSIM-capable and carrier-unlocked. Maya Mobile's own quick-start guide installs the eSIM by scanning a QR code from the confirmation email or entering a manual activation code, then switching on data roaming; one device is used at a time. A plan is typically installed before departure and switched on after arrival. These are general eSIM mechanics plus the brand's stated flow, not claims about specific phone models.
Simscanner does not publish a supported-device list it has not sourced. A confirmed model-by-model compatibility summary for Maya Mobile will appear here once verified against the brand's own documentation.

PendingSpeed & reliability signals
Performance depends on the local network a brand rides on in each country, so Simscanner reports it country by country from public performance data , not as a single brand-wide figure.
Speed data pending
PendingBecause a brand's real-world speed reflects the local carrier it connects to, Simscanner does not publish a global speed score for Maya Mobile. Sourced speed and reliability signals appear on the relevant country pages once verified for that destination.
Reviews & user sentiment
A summary of signal, not an editorial verdict. Simscanner never invents ratings and never republishes a number without a primary source.
Independent review signals for Maya Mobile are pending. Simscanner does not republish App Store, Play Store, or third-party ratings without a primary source. When sourced, each rating is shown with its review count and the date it was fetched , never as a Simscanner score, and never emitted as rating schema.
Where Maya Mobile data is pending
An honest ledger of every field still under verification. Maya Mobile is not penalised for pending data , it simply isn't ranked on a field until that field is independently sourced.
Compared with peers
Maya Mobile sits closest to Holafly, the other prominent unlimited-led travel eSIM, alongside broad-catalogue brands such as Airalo and Nomad that lead with fixed-data buckets. The verified head-to-head publishes once Maya Mobile and the peer both reach the data gate. Until then, the comparison reads pending.
