Enable Wi-Fi calling on your phone and since the island has blanket Wi-Fi coverage if anyone calls your number it will ring you and you won’t be charged the crazy roaming rate.
I have AT&T and unfortunately no coverage in the Maldives so the WiFi calling has been a life saver - this way I can make and receive calls (free too!).

So far so good. Paid for upgrade from GV to BV and was upgraded to a 2 story family villa! Will post more later...

We are here right now, checking out Saturday.
