eSIM is sulking on Negombo night data. Desk wants to sell a tourist pack. We fly later this week. Not trying to own two numbers for sport. 26 Aug.

If the eSIM still does data in town, leave it. A shop pack is ordinary if the eSIM is actually dead, not just slow in a pocket of Negombo night. Ask the Dialog/Mobitel desk what they actually activate today. Do not invent a island-wide outage. Screenshot the plan before you pay.

eSIM woke up two streets over. Fine. We did not buy a second number.

Pride buys two SIMs and then cannot remember the PIN.

Airport desk is a desk. Town shop is often calmer. Not a law.

If you need a local number for PickMe, that is a reason. A sulk is not.

We bought the pack, kept the eSIM as backup. Ordinary.

Do not pay a 'setup fee' that is not on the board.
