Phones empty. Desk at arrivals wants a number that feels like a tour. We can survive maps offline until Pettah. Two of us, Monday morning.

If you need a pin for PickMe now, buy the small airport SIM and stop bleeding. If you can ride on one offline map to Pettah, the town reload is cheaper. Nobody closed Dialog. It is a sticker, not a crisis.

We bought the small one, reloaded later in town. Fine. Pride saving two hundred and missing the pin is a more expensive tuk.
