phonestar cheap calls to Uganda
How do I save a packet calling Uganda?
Here's what you do:
- Call phonestar's Uganda service number 0871 771 0505 .
- When you're connected you'll hear a voice prompt asking you to key in the full international number you'd usually use, starting with 00 in the normal way
So, to call someone in Kampala you'd dial 0871 771 0505 then (for example) 00256 123456. - To end your call, hang up in the usual manner. The phonestar call will be charged to your normal bill at only 7p per minute — any day, any time.
- Your phonestar call shows up on your bill in the normal way, but the number dialed will show as 0871 771 0505 . And rather than paying 95p per minute to call Uganda using BT, you'll have paid 7p.
Why not try it right now?
There's no need to sign up for this phonestar service, and there aren't any passwords or PINs to remember. There's absolutely no fee or service charge.
All you need is the phonestar Uganda number: 0871 771 0505 .
So how do we do it so cheaply?
You may be thinking "So where's the catch then?"
Actually, there isn't one!
We can charge you just 7p a minute because we divert our international calls via the phonestar internet system thereby bypassing BT's international telephone network.
That's why phonestar international calls work even when international call barring is activated on the phone—in effect, you're dialling a UK number!

Can I call a mobile in Uganda, though?
Yes, but you need a different phonestar number: 0871 881 0505 . Other than that, it's exactly the same procedure. You pay 8p per minute 24/7 from a landline in the UK.
