You recharge a Sri Lanka number from Qatar by entering the number, choosing a plan and paying by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Slashtel sends the top-up straight to the number and detects the operator automatically, so you do not need to know whether your family uses Dialog, Hutch or Mobitel before you start.
This works for family members in Sri Lanka on Dialog, Hutch or Mobitel. The number example on this page is +94 71 234 5678.
Plans on this corridor range from small airtime top-ups to larger recharges and unlimited data bundles. Mobitel options include LKR 330, LKR 665, LKR 780, LKR 1,500 and LKR 2,000 recharges, plus unlimited plans at 1 Mbps for 3 days, 4 Mbps for 1 day and 4 Mbps for 30 days. Dialog and Hutch airtime top-ups are also available.
For a quick top-up, the Dialog airtime option at LKR 2189 and the Hutch airtime option at LKR 2160 sit in the middle range. Larger Dialog and Hutch airtime top-ups are listed at LKR 4379 and LKR 4321. On the Mobitel side, the unlimited plan at 4 Mbps for 30 days is listed at LKR 6208.
When a plan is taxed, the amount shown is what lands with the operator after the operator's tax. That means your family receives the LKR 330, LKR 665 or other figure listed on the plan, not a reduced amount.
A regular top-up keeps a Sri Lankan number in use while its owner lives or works abroad. Sending a small recharge, such as LKR 330 or LKR 665 on Mobitel, gives the number activity and lets the person receive calls and messages on the same SIM they use when they visit Sri Lanka.
Many Sri Lankan families in Qatar keep a local number for relatives back home and for their own visits. A top-up from Doha takes a few minutes and does not need the phone to be in Qatar.
The plan list changes, so check the options shown on the page when you send. There are 15 plans on this corridor at the time of the last check.
Enter the Sri Lankan number with the 94 dial code and drop the leading zero. A national number such as 071 234 5678 becomes +94 71 234 5678. The number has 9 digits after the country code, and getting this right means the top-up reaches the correct SIM first time.
If the operator shown does not match the phone in Sri Lanka, check the digits before paying. Slashtel detects the operator from the number, so a wrong digit can point to the wrong network.
Save the full international format in your phone so you do not need to rebuild it each time you send a top-up to family.
You pay in the currency shown at checkout by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with prices starting from $2.64. The operator is detected from the number, so there is no separate network selection step. The page was last checked on 29 October 2026.
