Make the Cheapest Calls to Malaysia
Call Malaysia for 1p/min
Here's what you do:
- Call Phonestar's Malaysia service number 0843 715 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 0843 715 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 1p 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 0843 715 0505. And rather than paying 48.5p per minute to call Malaysia using BT, you'll have paid 1p.
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 Malaysia number: 0843 715 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 1p 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!
So how do I call Malaysia from my mobile?
From a mobile a Phonestar call to Malaysia is still only 2p a minute. Click here for more info.
Can I call a mobile in Malaysia, though?
Yes, but you need a different Phonestar number: 0843 717 0505. Other than that, it's exactly the same procedure. You pay 2p per minute 24/7 from a landline in the UK.
