Over 100 travel eSIM providers offer more than 3, 400 prepaid data plans for Sri Lanka, giving travelers a wide variety of options to find an eSIM that suits their needs.
Yes, several eSIM providers currently offer unlimited data plans for use in Sri Lanka. These plans can be purchased for a single day up to a month, though the exact validity differs by provider. Most unlimited options note that speed may be throttled, and a few include explicit speed caps: for example, the firsty plan is limited to 256 kbps, while the Yoho Mobile and abesteSIM plans limit speed to 5 Mbps. Even when throttling occurs, the data allowance remains unlimited. The prices for unlimited eSIM plans range from as low as free (firsty) to over four hundred dollars (Yoho Mobile) for a 30‑day plan, with most plans falling somewhere between five and one hundred dollars, depending on the provider and plan length.
Sri Lanka's mobile telecommunications sector is served by several major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), each offering a range of services:
Dialog Axiata PLC (Dialog): The largest mobile operator in Sri Lanka, providing extensive 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G coverage across the country.
SLT-Mobitel (Mobitel): A subsidiary of Sri Lanka Telecom, offering comprehensive mobile services with a focus on innovation, including 4.5G LTE and exploration of 5G capabilities.
Hutchison Telecommunications Lanka Ltd (Hutch): Following its merger with Etisalat Lanka, Hutch has expanded its network and customer base, focusing on affordable data plans and reliable 4G connectivity.
Airtel Lanka: A subsidiary of India's Bharti Airtel, known for competitive pricing and a focus on mobile data services.
As of now, Sri Lanka does not have Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). Therefore, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure provided by the major MNOs listed above.
Yes, travel eSIMs that provide a phone number and SMS are available for Sri Lanka. GlobaleSIM offers a range of plans from 1 GB to 20 GB with validity from 7 days to 30 days and pricing that starts at $4.00 USD. Roamify provides options from 1 GB to 20 GB that can be used for up to 365 days, with prices beginning at $15.00 USD. All of these plans use the international dialing code +1, so the phone number will be a United States or Canada number rather than a local Sri Lankan number; one Roamify plan uses the French code +33, which also results in a foreign number. Both providers support inbound voice calls and inbound SMS, and some Roamify plans also allow outbound SMS, giving travelers the ability to receive and send text messages while in Sri Lanka.
