Frequently Asked Questions

Dialog and Mobitel are commonly cited as having strong nationwide coverage, including major cities and many rural or hill country areas. Travel eSIMs, including Gohub, typically rely on local network infrastructure, so coverage quality can vary by location and device.

Gohub’s travel eSIM is designed for travelers who prefer buying online and activating without airport queues or paperwork.
Most travel eSIMs, including Gohub, are data-only and do not include a local phone number. If you need a Sri Lankan number for local calls or certain taxi apps, a local SIM or local eSIM from a Sri Lankan carrier may be required.

3

Restart your device after arrival to refresh the network connection.
