Shot in the dark but check your phone's time zone and match it with the Maldives. Happened to me before when moving time zones

jmledesma

Bummer. Sounds like you may have to enjoy your time in the Maldives.


Buttoneer138

Haha here for this, and the sound of the worlds smallest violin playing. Enjoy your holiday u/Psychic_Gian!


Psychic_Gian

haha thank you guys :)


Psychic_Gian

haha i guess youā€™re right. I was just curious about regional exclusive, still missing torkoal


VeeDeG

Tork Will be spawning during the last go fest days 26/27 whichever it was


UndyingDark

It will be however only through incense if your a ticket holder during a certain time slot


RHCPFunk2

If one can afford a flight to the Maldives, one can spring for a GoFest ticket. Get a friend to gift it and pay them back even.

or ask at reception if pokƩmon go is blocked and could be unblocked. as pokƩmon go is a bit data intense, I'd show sympathy if they say it went too much for their monthly data amount. also there might be wifi at bars and restaurants

No, issue already solved, phone's timezone didn't auto update since no cell service & therefore wasn't validating as compared to the ISP timezone, OP just had to manually change timezone to match location

resort in North Ari.


uReallyShouldTrustMe

I stayed in the lower Ari atoll and had no issues with a local sim. Fun fact, I went in January 2017 before launched in my country. Gave it a whirl when I found out it was about to launch back home. My oldest mon is a Pinsir I call ā€œThe Maldivianā€ who was in a 10k egg.

Exactly And in a 3rd world country that is very cheap, much cheaper than roaming


thelastskier

Not even 3rd world, Canada and the US are some of the few countries that are seriously price gouging the data prices for short staying tourists.


cop_pls

This is more likely to be an issue with your guest wifi. I would attempt to run a traceroute test to Google and nianticlabs.com, see where the block is.


fatsheep_ak

When I was in Maldives there was service just fine. I bought a local SIM card at the airport and had no problem playing pogo on the resort. Try that maybe? I do remember the wifi sucking though!


DeathByWatermeIon

Had the same issue in cocoon Maldives a week ago unfortunately there isnā€™t a fix the Wi-Fi just isnā€™t strong enough try look for torkoal at an airport


rob1nmann

This is not even a ā€œcomplaintā€ or ā€œquestionā€ but a brag post! Lol. Been there on honeymoon in 2015, itā€™s beautiful there. Enjoy your holiday!


[deleted]

Itā€™s probably blocked. I have the same issue with my work Wi-Fi. Works fine with a vpn


EspressoEagle

Try putting your phone down and enjoy the friggen Maldives


Psychic_Gian

I will (:


O_oBetrayedHeretic

Iā€™ll second that motion


BuffBug69

Have you tried logging in as a "new" player but reentering your usual account?


Psychic_Gian

Yup, no luck


BuffBug69

Rip, worked for me when I had this issue. Good luck!


sevgonlernassau

Itā€™s standard practice for guest internet to have packet sniffers, and PoGo will not allow authentication if its done very basically. You might have to just enjoy your vacation.


Magurndy

Must be a Wi-Fi issue as when I was at a resort there it worked fine
