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.
Oh very cool! The providers I’ve listed above is the best for data too, and you get around 25GB for $5 data pack
Check out GlobalYo, they cover many countries and have decent data plans
Thanks Hugo!
I think I've posted this before but I usually just compare offers on eSIMdb: esimdb.com/sri-lanka
Never had an issue simply going with the cheapest option each time
Thanks a lot Ben, cool website! He purchased on Saily
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
Makes a ton of sense!
Saw that your friend already got Saily. But if he/she has a Revolut account, there's a nice global eSim option too. I'm on their Ultra plan with 3GB monthly global data allowance. Just checked and Sri Lanka is included! Used that eSim in Japan this year, worked great
Thanks, good info đź‘Ť
