Interesting data roaming SIM - Dialog LK

So searching around, I found out my LK Dialog Sim that I got last year while in Sri Lanka, and the same one I'm using a year later now in Sri Lanka, has some interesting roaming deals for 75 countries.

Basically $1 for 100mb for 24hrs or $5 for 1 day (Sri Lanka time) for unlimited data.

What's interesting is that the countries that are supported. Places like Oman, Tanzania, and Brunei that Tmobile USA doesn't cover, this does cover.
And they got a $10 for unlimited in flight Internet, though I got no idea how that works.

Topping up, it seems if you load 1000lkr (like $6.5) or more, it's 365 days and it seems you can top up online.

I was able to top up using my USA Visa without any issues. Credit appeared almost instantly and the account for 1000lkr was extended by a year. I was charged $6.55.

This Sim seems to offer the following countries that Tmobile doesn't cover
Bangladesh
Botswana
Brunei
Fiji
Jordan
Liberia
Myanmar
Nepal
Nigeria
Oman

I tested the $1 100 MB in London the other day and I was getting 1mbps down. Not sure if that's just my phone or them throttling the speed.

Looks very interesting, but short of traveling to Sri Lanka to get one of these SIM cards, it doesn't seem very useful unless you can order a SIM for international delivery.

True but if someone is flying thru CMB or will be going to Sri Lanka, this might help them out.
