phonestar cheap calls to Zimbabwe
How do I save a packet calling Zimbabwe?
Here's what you do:
- Call phonestar's Zimbabwe service number 0872 548 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 Harare you'd dial 0872 548 0505 then (for example) 00263 123456. - To end your call, hang up in the usual manner. The phonestar call will be charged to your normal bill at only 6p 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 0872 548 0505. And rather than paying 101.8p per minute to call Zimbabwe using BT, you'll have paid 6p.

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 6p 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!
