For navigation, sharing photos and some streaming during a round trip, 5 to 10 GB is more than enough. For longer trips, it is better to choose unlimited.

Dialog is the largest and has the best coverage in and around cities such as Colombo, with 4G and 5G. SLT-Mobitel scores strongly in the countryside. Our eSIM uses these local networks, so you stay connected during train rides through the interior too.
In densely populated areas and along the main routes, coverage is good. In remote hill areas and tea fields around Nuwara Eliya or Ella the signal can be weaker. An eSIM that switches to the strongest network gives the best chance of a connection there.
