- TRCSL approval: buy a unit approved by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL), so it works properly on Sri Lankan networks such as Dialog, SLT-Mobitel and Hutch.
- Before you pay: confirm the price, stock, storage/RAM version and colour with the shop — prices in Sri Lanka change often with the exchange rate.
