CMB arrivals after the late Doha hop — Dialog desk here or wait for a city shop Monday
23 Aug, Sunday, landed 01:10. Partner wants a SIM before the Negombo sleep. Arrivals desk looks tired. City shops are shut until Monday. Two phones, ordinary data, not trying to be cheap for sport.

Buy at arrivals if the desk is the official counter and you can photograph the passport page. Sunday city shops are shut. I will not invent an arrivals surcharge. If the queue is a story, take a night of hotel wifi and do a proper Dialog on Monday. Do not follow a cousin into the car park with a POS.
We bought arrivals, eSIM also worked on one phone. Fine. Screenshot the balance before you leave the hall.
Kids: one adult queues, the rest sit. Pride hunts a cheaper stall and melts at 02:00.
City shop on Monday is calmer if you can live on wifi tonight. Arrivals is ordinary, not a scam by default.
