Dialog is generally considered to have the widest and most reliable 4G coverage across the island, including remote beaches and the hill country. You can buy a tourist SIM right in the arrivals hall at the airport.

I used Mobitel and my partner used Dialog. They were practically identical on the south coast, but Dialog had better signal when we were hiking up in Ella and Nuwara Eliya.

If your phone supports it, just download the Airalo eSIM app. It uses the Dialog network and you can set it up before you even land. No waiting in line at the airport.
