Can I use the Sri Lanka eSIM as a mobile hotspot?

Hotspot and tethering are allowed on the ETravelSim Sri Lanka eSIM's fixed-data plans (1 GB, 3 GB, 5 GB, 10 GB, and 20 GB), but not on the Unlimited plans, which are designed for single-device use. If you need to share data with a laptop or another phone — common for digital nomads working from Mirissa or Ella cafés — pick the 10 GB or 20 GB fixed plan. Tethered data draws from your plan allowance like any other usage.

FAQs

Will my eSIM work worldwide?

eTravelSIM works across multiple networks in each covered country. However, your phone must be factory‑unlocked and eSIM‑capable. Coverage and 5G/4G availability vary by network.

Dual SIM: can I keep my home number active?

Yes—most modern devices support Dual SIM (eSIM + physical SIM). You can keep calls/SMS on your home SIM and use eTravelSIM for data while abroad. Configure default lines in Settings.

Update to the latest OS, restart, and check again. If still missing, your device/region/carrier may have eSIM disabled. Please contact your carrier or device maker.
