Do travel agencies give out Sri Lankan mobile connections to tourists?

A lot of travel agencies give out complimentary tourist SIM cards that are already loaded with data plans, as part of a welcome kit, right when you arrive. That way, you can use the internet immediately, without standing in line at those airport telecom counters or kiosks in general.

Keeping yourself online is really crucial for talking with your chauffeur using WhatsApp, finding your way during free days, and also sharing updates with your family back home. If your phone can handle it, some forward-minded agencies now send eSIM QR codes by email a week before your flight, so you can join local 4G networks the moment you touch down.
