Adding Talk Time
Your Sri Lanka SIM card includes an initial airtime credit of Rs. $800 (US $8.25), which you may load once you arrive in Sri Lanka. Additional credit is available through the purchase of airtime vouchers, commonly called a Kit Charge card (not another Sri Lanka SIM card). Kit Charges are currently available in the following denominations:
Rs. 400 (US $4)
Rs. 700 (US $7)
Rs. 1000 (US $10)
Simply scratch off the gray protective layer to reveal your 16 digit voucher number for your Sri Lanka top up card. Dial 123 from your Sri Lanka GSM cell phone followed by the 16 digit voucher code and press . When punched into the keypad of your international cell phone, the voucher code will credit your Sri Lanka SIM card with the respective Sri Lanka rupee denomination you purchased.
To check your Sri Lanka SIM card account balance, simply dial 456 from your Sri Lanka cellular phone and follow the voice prompts.
Kit Charges are available locally at most tabac shops, convenience stores and petrol stations. The Charges are purchased at face value and provide the equivalent denomination purchased in airtime credit to your SIM.
Remember: Do not purchase another Sri Lanka SIM card when your airtime credit is depleted! You only need a Sri Lanka recharge voucher!
