Roaming charges in Sri Lanka

JV24

Using my phone in Sri Lanka, with a UK contract, the website info suggests I will have to pay two separate daily charges: one for calls & texts, and another charge for data.  Is this correct?

@JV24 : If you're on contract you may chose to pay 2 separate monthly charges for call mins & texts add-ons or you may pay for them individually at standard roaming rates. The only way to use data is to buy the daily £7.84 Travel Data Pass for 150MB.

Outside the EU, you cannot use your usual UK allowances there but will need to pay the charges or buy roaming add-ons as set out in https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/roaming/roaming-costs/countries/srilanka.

If you are on contract, remember to text ROAMING to 150 before you leave UK to ensure the roaming ability is enabled on your account.

If you are on PAYG, make sure you have used your PAYG SIM to make a call or text in the UK.
