Frequently asked questions

Gohub eSIM is one of the best eSIM options for Sri Lanka, offering 4G/5G coverage via trusted local carriers across Colombo, Kandy, Galle, Ella, Sigiriya, and the major tourist corridors of the Cultural Triangle and southern coastal route. The 15 GB Call & SMS plan includes a local phone number and is valid across 70+ countries in Zone 1, making it great for multi-destination travelers.

Yes. Gohub eSIM works throughout Sri Lanka by connecting to trusted local carriers via the Zone 1 network. Purchase a plan at gohub.com, scan the QR code before departure, and your eSIM connects automatically when your device detects a local Sri Lankan network. Coverage is strong in Colombo, Kandy, Galle, and along the coastal highway, with lighter signal expected in the deep hill country and Northern Province border areas.

Install the eSIM via Wi-Fi before your trip. On iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM. On Android, go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager (Samsung) or Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs (Pixel and others). Your eSIM activates automatically when your device first connects to the local network after arrival. Each plan day resets at 11:59 PM GMT+8, regardless of your install time.

Yes. Gohub eSIM costs far less than standard carrier roaming, which runs $5–$15 per day with most US providers. Gohub Sri Lanka plans deliver full-speed 4G/5G data up to your plan cap, then reduce to 128 kbps, saving significantly compared to paying daily international roaming rates for every day of your Sri Lanka itinerary.

A 10–14 day Sri Lanka circuit covering Colombo, Sigiriya, Kandy, and the south coast typically needs 1–2 GB/day for Google Maps, PickMe or Uber rides, train booking apps, and social media. The 15 GB plan comfortably covers a full month of moderate use. Download offline maps before heading into the hill country around Ella, Nuwara Eliya, and Horton Plains, where signal can be patchy.

Yes. A Wi-Fi connection is required to download the eSIM profile. Complete this at home before departure. Once installed, your Gohub Sri Lanka eSIM connects to the local network without Wi-Fi, exactly like any standard mobile data plan.

Yes. Gohub eSIM runs alongside your physical home SIM using your phone's dual-SIM capability. Keep your home SIM active for calls and texts from home while the Gohub eSIM handles Sri Lankan data. Turn Data Roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the Gohub Sri Lanka eSIM to avoid unexpected charges from your home carrier.

Gohub eSIM for Sri Lanka works with all eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked smartphones — including iPhone XS/XR and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later. Your phone must be network-unlocked; carrier-locked devices will not accept a third-party eSIM. Check Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM on iPhone, or SIM Manager on Android, to confirm support.

Yes. Gohub eSIM via trusted local carriers maintains solid 4G/5G coverage on the Colombo to Kandy main line and the famous Kandy to Ella hill country railway through Nanu Oya and Haputale. Coverage is reliable along the Southern Expressway toward Galle and Mirissa, at Bandaranaike International Airport, and throughout the Colombo Fort and Pettah areas. Hotspot tethering is supported throughout your journey.

Yes. The Gohub Sri Lanka eSIM plan includes Call & SMS, providing 15 minutes of calls and 50 SMS along with 15 GB of data over 30 days. The plan assigns a local phone number labeled "Local phone number France" as part of the Zone 1 network, covering Sri Lanka and 70+ destinations worldwide including all of Europe. Data-only users can also make calls and send messages via WhatsApp and VoIP apps.
