Important Terms and Conditions to Keep in Mind

While the package offers tremendous value, staying aware of Mobitel’s usage policies ensures you avoid unexpected charges:

  1. Fair Usage Policy (FUP): “Unlimited” voice calls are intended for personal, non-commercial use. Telemarketing, automated robocalls, or commercial call-center routing may violate terms and lead to plan suspension.
  2. International & Premium Services: The package covers standard domestic numbers within Sri Lanka. Calls to international numbers (IDD), emergency short codes, or premium content services are charged separately from your main account balance.
  3. Data Exclusions: The Rs. 667 package is primarily a voice and text booster. If you require mobile internet data, you will need to purchase a separate internet bundle or activation add-on alongside this plan.
  4. Auto-Renewal Behavior:
    • Prepaid: Does not automatically renew unless you perform another exact Rs. 667 reload or re-activate via USSD upon expiry.
    • Postpaid: Continues as a recurring monthly add-on added directly to your monthly statement until requested otherwise.

How to Check Your Remaining Balance and Status

To verify if your package is active or check remaining SMS allocations:

  • USSD Check: Dial #132# to view your main balance and active bundle statuses on-screen.
  • SelfCare App Check: Open the SLT-Mobitel SelfCare App to view live counters for active voice status, SMS counts, and expiration dates.
  • SMS Inquiry: Send an SMS with the query keyword specified in your activation notification to 147.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I activate the Rs. 667 package while another data pack is active?

Yes! The Rs. 667 package functions as a voice/SMS booster. You can run data packs (such as daily, weekly, or work-and-learn data bundles) simultaneously on the same connection.

What happens if I reload Rs. 667 twice in one month?

A: Reloading Rs. 667 twice will typically extend your package validity or overwrite/renew the 30-day window from the date of the second activation, depending on current system provisioning.

Are taxes included in the Rs. 667 price?

Reload amounts in Sri Lanka are generally inclusive of mandatory government telecommunication levies and VAT, meaning a recharge of exactly Rs. 667 activates the full pack directly.

Conclusion

The Mobitel Rs. 667 Booster Package remains one of the most efficient, cost-effective solutions for voice connectivity in Sri Lanka. By offering unlimited cross-network calling and a robust SMS allowance for an entire month, it removes the stress of monitoring per-minute rates. Whether activated via #147#, a direct store reload, or the SelfCare app, setting up your subscription takes less than two minutes.
