phonestar cheap calls to Sri Lanka
How do I save a packet calling Sri Lanka?
Here's what you do:
- Call Phonestar's Sri Lanka service number 0871 606 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 Osaka you'd dial 0871 606 0505 then (for example) 001246 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 0871 606 0505 . And rather than paying 94p per minute to call Sri Lanka using BT, you'll have paid 6p.
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 Sri Lanka number: 0871 606 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 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 dialing a UK number!
So how do I call Sri Lanka from my mobile?

Can I call a mobile in Sri Lanka, though?
Yes, but you need a different Phonestar number: 0871 771 0505 . Other than that, it's exactly the same procedure. You pay 7p per minute 24/7 from a landline in the UK.
