Questions about each
Dialog Axiata
How much does the tourist plan cost in Sri Lanka?+
The tourist plan in Sri Lanka starts at LKR 1,399, with larger bundles priced above that and a top tier that adds unlimited WhatsApp on top of the data. Validity suits a short stay, so check it against your trip length before you buy.
Is the data allowance unlimited?+
The tourist plans start at LKR 1,399, and unlimited data is listed as available. The fair use policy sets the boundary: extra data on the tourist plan is charged per MB plus tax once the quota is used, and unlimited data roaming is capped at a daily fee for subscribers who are not on a standard plan.
Which countries can I roam in?+
Roaming is listed for the USA, Japan, UK, Thailand, Turkey, Mexico and other destinations, and Dialog Axiata reports coverage across from 200. Rates are loaded per destination rather than as a single flat worldwide price, so a trip across several countries is worth costing first. The region setup is local and global.
Where is roaming currently suspended?+
Data roaming is temporarily suspended in Myanmar under the fair use policy, so do not count on data in that market. The same policy caps unlimited roaming at a daily fee for subscribers outside a standard plan. Coverage overall is reported across from 200.
