Our verdict on each
SLT-Mobitel
SLT-Mobitel is the home carrier for a single market, so it suits visitors who want a local network plan across a whole Sri Lanka stay. Tourist plans start at LKR 821, 5G is included, and an unlimited data option carries fair use conditions.
Vodafone Oman
Vodafone Oman sells visitor plans as the carrier itself, Oman Future Telecommunications Company, from OMR 2. It suits travelers already in Oman who want a local prepaid number, top-ups and carrier support, rather than a global eSIM bought before departure. The add-ons are listed for short trip and long trip trips.

Pros and cons
SLT-Mobitel
Pros
- Plans start at LKR 821, with tourist options for both short trips and longer stays
- Unlimited data is offered alongside fair use conditions on the non-stop plan: FUP and conditions apply to the Non-stop Data plan (Plan 03)
- 5G is included on the network, and activation is instant
Cons
- Coverage is a single market at 1, so the plan does not travel with you
- The service runs on the Mobitel network only: Mobitel
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone line listed
Vodafone Oman
Pros
- Entry price is OMR 2, and data allowances rise with validity across the Musafir and Worldwide add-ons.
- Vodafone Oman is the carrier, Oman Future Telecommunications Company, so the same company sells and supports the plan.
- Support runs on chat, phone and help centre, and top-ups are available for a longer stay.
Cons
- Coverage of 29 countries is far below the 200 countries Zwitchy lists.
- Unlimited data carries fair use limits: the Unlimited Visitor Plan is throttled after a daily allowance, extra data on Black plans is slowed, and RED roaming data or calls beyond their daily caps may be cut off.
- The add-ons are local prepaid products in Oman, so they suit a trip already under way rather than trips planned far from home.

Questions about each
SLT-Mobitel
What do SLT-Mobitel visitor plans cost?+
Tourist plans start at LKR 821, with a range of allowances and validity periods for short stays and longer visits. Prices are set by the carrier in its home market, and longer plans cost more. Top-ups are also sold for trips that outlast a plan.
Is the data unlimited?+
An unlimited data option is offered, and fair use conditions apply to the non-stop data plan: FUP and conditions apply to the Non-stop Data plan (Plan 03). Read any unlimited claim against those terms before you commit, since the conditions set the real ceiling. Heavy continuous users should check the wording for their plan.
Vodafone Oman
How much do Vodafone Oman visitor plans cost?+
Visitor add-ons start at OMR 2. Two families are published, Musafir and Worldwide, and both are sold in short, medium and long validity windows. The data allowance grows with the length of validity, so the longest window spreads the cost across the most data.
Is the data truly unlimited?+
Unlimited data is offered, and the fair use policy sets the limits: the Unlimited Visitor Plan is throttled after a daily allowance, extra data on Black plans is slowed right down, and RED roaming data or calls beyond their daily caps may be cut off.
