Thanks, I'm on Exetel (Optus MVNO - sucks)
No lock in, 29 per month, 18 GB, 500$ international credits which is equalant to ~340 minutes to SL.
Too bad Belong removed SL from their international country list and Telesrea no more offering that unlimited package
Why none of them offering a decent package to SL? There is quite a market but is it too small for them? Indians could get an unlimited calling option even from the basic package from litterlly any network

Yes, Telstra/Belong removed Sri Lanka from the $10 calling pack. 29 PM comes to $350 PA, Ok if you use a lot of Data. Boost has a $300 plan with 240GB and 3600 mins calls. Does the Exetel plan come with free calling to UK, US ect?

yeah if you take pa it's a bit expensive but when paying monthly doesn't hurt the pocket.
From the given 500 $ international credits you can call any country.
I bought this package just to call SL, but I'm not using the total monthly quota but something around 100 mins, and the data usage is around 7 gigs...maybe I'll switch to Boost after some time.

Boost had a special $135 for the $150 plan, it's over now. The advantage with boost is the Telstra network. Maybe they will offer the special price again, at $135 it's just $11 pm

Boost support is very good. I called them several times as they delayed to send the SIM and I had to port a number from Optus buisness. Answered withinn 5 - 10 Mins each time. Boost support is from Telstra.

Data rolls over on 28 day plans. It does not roll over on 180 or 365 day plans.

Exetel in their $29.99 plan gives $500 worth on international calls. Call charge to Sri Lanka from their plan is $1.45 per min with a 40c flag fall.
