Cool site! They don’t list any local providers, so for anyone looking at this thread down the line, you can get a 25GB data pack on Dialog for around $5. You generally can get a SIM at the airport, and as usual the airport pricing is much higher than within the country, so load up on your data at any super market when you’re out of the airport
I used to do this about 10 years ago but with eSIMs it’s about 50x more convenient to buy online before you get there
It might be a couple bucks extra (or not) but you save time navigating to whatever SIM card store, you get internet access immediately instead of an hour after arrival, etc
Oh very cool! The providers I’ve listed above is the best for data too, and you get around 25GB for $5 data pack
If you’re looking for a local provider IMO that’s Dialog, specially if you’re travelling around, cos they’ve got the best coverage + value for money. Mobitel is another good one from a coverage perspective. Wouldn’t really touch the others cos coverage becomes pretty sus once you’re out of the major metro areas.
Are you planning a visit? I live here so let me know if you have any questions, more than happy to help in whichever way I can!
Thanks!
For some reason, the description didn't get stored. It's for a good friend of mine who is travelling there for 3 weeks and needs internet access.

Looking good!
You might be able to get away from having to offer a trial by putting up a few comprehensive demos so that they can get a good grasp of what the product offers?
Lovely to see you here @janu, welcome!
Makes a ton of sense!
