Using mobile data on a Sri Lanka tour
In Sri Lanka the plan uses the Hutch 4G network. It is tied to one network, so coverage can vary by area. In Colombo, the coastal resorts and the popular tourist spots it is usually good. In the tea hills, in national parks and on long train rides to Ella and Kandy the signal can weaken or drop.
Data is useful at every stage of the trip. PickMe and Uber work in Colombo for booking rides, and Google Maps helps with your route. Guesthouses and drivers often agree arrangements on WhatsApp, so keep a message connection available outside the city too.
A local SIM can be bought at the airport against your passport, but the queue and registration take time right after a long flight. The eSIM is installed in advance. If your route takes you to remote areas, download offline maps before you set off. Journeys in Sri Lanka are often made with a driver or by train, so you need navigation less than in many other places, and a small or medium plan is enough for most people.
