Is Hutch or Airtel good for mobile internet in Galle.
2 Answers from travellers
While Hutch and Airtel are often significantly cheaper, their high speed 4G coverage drops dramatically outside of major cities. In Galle town you will be fine, but if you travel slightly inland or to smaller beaches, you will lose signal.
Dialog and Mobitel are the undisputed kings of coverage in Sri Lanka. It is highly recommended to pay the few extra dollars for a Dialog SIM to guarantee you have fast internet everywhere on the south coast.
Scam Watch: galle
Someone befriends you and offers a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to buy gems at wholesale prices and resell them abroad for huge profit. They may show you fake export certificates. The gems are worthless glass or low-quality stones.
Restaurants without visible prices. Bill arrives with inflated charges (500 LKR coconut becomes 1500 LKR). "Service charges" added without disclosure.
