Travelling to Sri Lanka

Roameo's Sri Lanka eSIM roams onto the national 4G networks, which are comprehensive for the island's size: Colombo, Negombo, Kandy, Galle, Ella and the southern beach towns from Hikkaduwa round to Arugam Bay all have solid service, and the Kandy–Ella hill railway keeps signal for most of the route apart from tunnels and the deepest tea-estate cuttings. Yala and Wilpattu have coverage near the entrances and lodges and less inside the parks. The Knuckles range and the interior back roads are the thin spots. The island runs at GMT+5:30, the same half-hour offset as India. Data-only, tethering supported, home SIM keeps your number.

Frequently asked
