The game-changing initiative allows Sri Lankans to effortlessly join the HUTCH network by simply scanning a QR code. Taking convenience to new heights, these QR codes have been strategically placed in key locations that are now propping up streets to bustling rail stations across the country.
The brilliance is in the simplicity. With just a quick scan, anyone can apply for a HUTCH connection through a simple digitized process. Be it an eSIM which can be downloaded to supporting phones in mere minutes, or a SIM card delivered straight to the doorstep, everyone has got an option.
