Calling Sri Lanka — Things to Know

• WhatsApp and Viber are both widely used in Sri Lanka. Viber has a particularly strong presence — it was the first major messaging app adopted in the country. For app-to-app calls, either works well in urban areas.
• Dialog Axiata is Sri Lanka's largest mobile carrier (over 50% market share), followed by Mobitel (SLT) and Hutch. Dialog numbers start with 77, Mobitel with 71, Hutch with 78.
• Sri Lanka shares the same time zone as India (UTC+5:30) despite being a separate country. This makes it easy to remember the time difference — same as India.
• Internet connectivity has improved significantly in urban Sri Lanka, but rural areas (especially in the hill country and north) can have patchy data coverage. Phone calls through telephone networks remain more reliable.
• Sri Lanka has two major holiday seasons: Sinhala and Tamil New Year (April 13-14) and Christmas. Expect busy phone lines during these periods.
• English is widely spoken in urban Sri Lanka, especially in business contexts. Sinhala and Tamil are the two official languages.
• BubblyPhone reaches all Sri Lankan carriers — Dialog, Mobitel, Hutch, and Airtel — plus all landline numbers.
