The implementation of this service by SLT-MOBITEL brings an important solution closer to the prepaid community and more significantly for all Sri Lankans and any foreigner visiting the country. With the extension of the service customers can purchase prepaid passes with unlimited internet access of 2 Mbps speed. The prepaid passes are categorized offering an activation validity period of 1 hour, 1 day or a 7 day option.

SLTMobitel Home Broadband customers who currently use the service, will also have access to data within the volume of their existing home broadband packages. A benefit of using this service is that any user, while on the move, can automatically get connected to the nearest available Wi-Fi hotspot, via the sltgo app or login via the sltgo portal. By entering the existing home broadband username and password or by purchasing a prepaid card, community Wi-Fi members can access the internet. With Sri Lanka’s largest wi-fi hotspots, SLT-MOBITEL’s customers can enter the same username and password even while at home.

Even customers who have not subscribed to the SLTMobitel Home Broadband network, can still purchase a prepaid pass and browse the internet by entering the number indicated on the pass. Foreign travellers who arrive in Sri Lanka can also access the internet through the sltgo prepaid pass. With over 23 million Wi-Fi hotspots scattered across the world, all Sri Lankans users can enjoy the ability to utilize this service no matter which part of the globe they travel.
