Sri Lanka travel data eSIM
What is a Sri Lanka eSIM?
A Sri Lanka eSIM gives travelers a data‑only connection the moment they step onto the island, letting them browse, navigate and stay in touch without swapping physical SIMs. Install it before departure, then simply activate it once you’re in Colombo, Kandy, Galle or any other destination. It works with your existing unlocked phone, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while enjoying local data on the go.
The eSIM links to Hutch 4G, allowing you to use the operator’s network throughout Sri Lanka. Data is drawn from the purchased bundle—1 GB for a week or up to 20 GB for a month—until the allowance is exhausted. The plan does not impose roaming fees; it functions like a local prepaid data package once you connect.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Sri Lanka eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM connects to Hutch 4G. For travelers, this means you will be using Hutch’s network infrastructure, so data usage follows the same rules and pricing as a local Hutch prepaid data plan.
Can the Sri Lanka eSIM be used in a neighbouring country, such as the Maldives?
No, this is a single‑country plan valid only within Sri Lanka. Regional eSIM options are available for travelers who need connectivity across multiple countries.
Which plan size suits a trip that includes both Colombo and Galle?
As a rough guide, a 5 GB or 10 GB 30‑day plan typically covers moderate daily usage for two major cities, allowing enough data for navigation, apps and occasional streaming.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
