phonestar cheap calls to Bhutan
How do I save a packet calling Bhutan?
Here's what you do:
- Call phonestar's Bhutan service number 0871 881 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 Thimphu you'd dial 0871 881 0505 then (for example) 00975 123456. - To end your call, hang up in the usual manner. The phonestar call will be charged to your normal bill at only 8p 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 881 0505 . And rather than paying 79p per minute to call Bhutan using BT, you'll have paid 8p.
Why not try it right now?

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 8p 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 dialing a UK number!

Can I call a mobile in Bhutan, though?
