Sri Lanka eSIM FAQs
Data and plan days only kick in when you arrive in Sri Lanka. Installing earlier just prepares it for activation which happens automatically when you arrive in Sri Lanka.
Install over WiFi before your trip to get connected from the minute you touch down.
If you have trouble connecting, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or message us for assistance.
Using a travel eSIM trumps roaming in Sri Lanka - here’s a quick rundown:
Significant Savings: Pay local Sri Lanka rates instead of exorbitant roaming prices set by your home carrier.
Convenient Switching: No swapping SIM cards - manage everything digitally from your phone settings.
Usage Clarity: Get real-time updates on data consumption, so you never get billed for data you didn’t need.
No - our Sri Lanka travel eSIMs are data - only, so they don’t come with a voice line or phone number. Any calls or texts must go through internet apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Viber.
Single-country eSIMs like the Sri Lanka one are only valid within that country once activated.
For travel across borders, a regional plan might suit you better - our regional Travel eSIMs cover multiple countries in one.
Yes - ZenSim’s eSIMs work in 200+ countries, and Sri Lanka is included. For travellers needing multiple-country access, we offer regional eSIMs. You can find those on our Travel eSIMs page.
Traditional calls and SMS aren’t part of our Sri Lanka eSIM packages - they’re strictly data provision. To talk or text, use internet - based services (WhatsApp, Signal, etc.) with your eSIM data.
Yes it can. Nearly all ZenSim eSIMs support top ups inside the app. You can boost your data, add extra days, or attach a new country to the same eSIM from the Zen Garden in only a few steps.
Just log into the app, open the Zen Garden, and you’ll find the top up control ready to use.
Top up choices: The Sri Lanka top ups match the plans on our website, just with an extra 10% off.
If you're travelling longer than 30 days: You can purchase multiple top ups in advance. They only activate once the current plan finishes, so nothing overwrites your existing eSIM.
If your trip includes several destinations: Many of our eSIMs support multi country top ups. For example, you can add Dubai to a Europe eSIM and it will activate the moment you arrive without reinstalling anything.
Yes! You may install the Sri Lanka eSIM up to 30 days before you travel. It won’t connect or start using data until you arrive.
Early installation ensures you’re ready on arrival, and it won’t drain your plan until you’re in Sri Lanka.
If you encounter an activation message on iPhone before landing, it’s usually safe to ignore - see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for more info.
Your eSIM will activate automatically once you step off the plane in Sri Lanka. We do suggest installing your Sri Lanka Travel eSIM before departure (installation ≠ activation).
Installation is a breeze: scan the QR code provided or install via the ZenSim app over WiFi. Upon landing, the eSIM will activate itself.

If you install it after arriving, the eSIM will activate and begin working immediately.
