There are more than 110 travel eSIM providers in Sri Lanka, with over 3600 prepaid data plans available. This wide variety of plans makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that fits their needs.
Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for Sri Lanka from several providers. Firsty offers a free plan that comes with advertisements and a speed cap of 256âŻkbps, while the other carriersâRoamify, Yoho Mobile, Truely, abesteSIM, and Yesimâprovide unlimited data that may be throttled, with some plans limiting maximum speed to around 5âŻMbps. The pricing for these unlimited options ranges from free with Firsty up to about $449.07 USD for the highestâpriced Yoho Mobile plan, with most plans falling between $5 and $120 USD depending on validity and features. If unlimited data is not required, estimating personal usage based on intended internet activities and selecting a plan with a sufficient data allowance can help ensure reliable connectivity throughout the trip.
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 1âŻGB to 20âŻGB with validity from 7âŻdays to 30âŻdays and pricing that starts at $4.00âŻUSD. Roamify provides options from 1âŻGB to 20âŻGB that can be used for up to 365âŻdays, with prices beginning at $15.00âŻUSD. 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.
