FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about eSIM in Sri Lanka

Can I buy my Sri Lanka eSIM now and activate it later?

Yes! With JamboSim's deferred activation, you can purchase your eSIM weeks or even months before your trip. Simply choose your preferred activation date during checkout - your data plan won't start until that day. This way you can prepare everything in advance and your eSIM will be ready the moment you land in Sri Lanka.

How do I activate my eSIM in Sri Lanka?

After purchasing your JamboSim eSIM, you'll receive a QR code via email. Simply scan it with your phone's camera, follow the on-screen prompts to install the eSIM profile, and enable data roaming. Your eSIM will automatically connect to the best local network when you arrive in Sri Lanka. The whole process takes under 2 minutes.

Which carriers does JamboSim use in Sri Lanka?

JamboSim partners with the leading mobile carriers in Sri Lanka to provide the best possible 4G/5G coverage across major cities, airports, and popular tourist destinations.

Can I use my eSIM as a hotspot in Sri Lanka?

Yes! All JamboSim eSIM plans support hotspot/tethering. You can share your data connection with your laptop, tablet, or travel companions' devices while in Sri Lanka.

Do I need to unlock my phone to use an eSIM?

Your phone must be eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked. Most recent iPhones (XS and newer), Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+, and many other modern smartphones support eSIM. If your phone is locked to a specific carrier, contact them to request an unlock before your trip.

Can I keep my home phone number while using a JamboSim eSIM?

Absolutely! Your JamboSim eSIM runs as a secondary line alongside your home SIM. You'll keep receiving calls and texts on your regular number while using JamboSim for affordable mobile data in Sri Lanka.

What happens when my data runs out in Sri Lanka?

If you use all your data, you can instantly purchase a top-up plan through JamboSim - no need to visit a store. Your new data is available within seconds. You'll never be stuck without internet during your Sri Lanka trip.

What is an eSIM top-up?

A top-up lets you add more data to your existing eSIM without installing a new profile. If your plan supports top-ups, you simply purchase additional data through JamboSim and it's added to your current eSIM instantly - no new QR code needed. Not all plans support top-ups; you can check this in the plan details before you buy. If your plan doesn't support top-ups, you'll need to purchase and install a new eSIM when your data runs out.
