About eSIMs in Sri Lanka
Choose a Sri Lanka eSIM with data allowances from 0.1GB to 50GB, or select an unlimited plan. Options last from 1 to 180 days, so you can match your eSIM to a short visit or a longer stay.
Coverage & networks
The eSIM connects to Mobitel’s 4G network in Sri Lanka. It is data-only, so calls and texts are not included; you can use internet-based messaging and calling apps over your data connection.
How much data you need
Light users may find 0.5GB or 1GB suitable for essential messages, maps and occasional browsing. For regular navigation, social media and streaming, consider 3GB, 5GB, 10GB, 20GB or 50GB. An unlimited plan is also available if you expect to use a lot of data.
Setting it up
Install the eSIM before your trip and activate it when you need connectivity in Sri Lanka. Plans are available for 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 15, 30 or 180 days. Top-ups are supported if you need more data during your plan period.
