Connectivity

SIM cards and connectivity

Local SIMs, eSIMs and what to expect on coverage.

Getting a SIM

Dialog, Mobitel and Airtel are common tourist choices. Airport desks and town stores sell tourist packs; you will need your passport for registration.

eSIMs are increasingly available if your phone supports them — convenient if you land late and want data before finding a shop.

Coverage

4G is solid in Colombo, Kandy, Ella town and most coast hubs. Coverage thins in parks and some rural stretches — do not rely on live maps inside Yala.
