I am planning a trip to Sri Lanka and want to know when the data plan I purchase will become active. Does the validity start the moment I buy it, or only when I first use it in Sri Lanka? Any details would be appreciated!

The validity of your Sri Lanka plan will start when you scan the QR code and activate the eSIM. It allows you to set it up before you fly, so you can be ready right as you arrive.

I bought my plan a few days before heading to Sri Lanka, and it activated right when I landed. Super convenient!

Just to clarify, the plan activates automatically upon arrival in Sri Lanka once you connect to a local network. This ensures that you have data as soon as you land.

I had the same question! I recommend setting everything up on the GotoeSIM app. It was straightforward, and everything worked perfectly!

I purchased my plan a week before my trip, and it only activated once I arrived in Sri Lanka. So no worries about wasting time before your travel!

I love that it activates as soon as you land. Just make sure your phone settings allow data roaming for it to work seamlessly!

The plan validity starts with activation in Sri Lanka, so it's wise to install it before flying. You won’t lose any days of data!

I found it helpful to check the activation guide in the app before flying. Everything went smoothly when I arrived in Sri Lanka!
