How do I prepare my phone for using an eSIM in Sri Lanka?

Before your trip, confirm that your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked. While connected to Wi‑Fi at home, purchase your Sri Lanka eSIM plan and install it by scanning the QR code provided. In your phone’s settings, label the new line (for example, “Sri Lanka Data”), set it as the default for mobile data, and turn off data roaming on your primary line to avoid unexpected charges. Keep a copy of the QR code or activation email saved offline. When you land in Sri Lanka, simply enable the eSIM line; your phone should connect to a local partner network within a minute or two. Test it by loading a web page or map. If it doesn’t work immediately, try toggling airplane mode, restarting your phone, or manually selecting a network in the mobile settings.
