Access Wikipedia for free on your mobile phone in Sri Lanka

Access Wikipedia in English, Sinha, and Tamil from your mobile phone without incurring data charges. Anyone with a valid SIM from Dialog Axiata can go to zero.wikipedia.org for free access to a text-only version of Wikipedia. Accessing images or the regular Wikipedia mobile site will incur standard data charges.

What is Wikipedia Zero

Wikipedia Zero is a project by the Wikimedia Foundation to provide mobile access, free of data charges, to Wikipedia for people in emerging countries. The Wikimedia Foundation partners with mobile operators to allow for free access to Wikipedia in English as well as local languages. The goal of Wikipedia Zero is to reduce barriers to information, furthering our vision of a world in which every single person on the planet can freely share in the sum of all human knowledge.
