Which networks does the Sri Lanka eSIM use?
It runs on Hutch. It runs on 4G.
Will I have signal on the Kandy to Ella train?
For most of it. It drops in the tunnels and deep in the hill country. Download what you need before you board.
Is one network enough in Sri Lanka?
For most trips, yes. Hutch covers Colombo, Kandy, the south coast and the main tourist towns. In national parks and remote hill country it's patchier.
Do Uber and PickMe work in Sri Lanka?
Yes. Both book cars and tuk-tuks in Colombo and Kandy, and show the price before you ride.
Can I use it in the Maldives or India?
When does my Sri Lanka plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Sri Lanka. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the Sri Lanka eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every Sri Lanka plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the Sri Lanka eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
