Remove leading zeros from Sri Lankan numbers
Sri Lankan phone numbers listed with a leading 0 must have that 0 removed before dialing internationally. For example, 0112-345-678 becomes 112-345-678 when dialed from abroad.

DIALING RULES
Sri Lanka Dialing Rules & Number Formats
Sri Lankan phone numbers follow standardized formats. Understanding these rules ensures your calls connect reliably.
Landline numbers are city-specific
Sri Lankan landlines begin with a two-digit area code representing the city or region (e.g., 11 for Colombo, 81 for Kandy, 91 for Galle). Dial all digits after removing the leading 0.
Mobile numbers begin with 7
Sri Lankan mobile numbers start with 7 (e.g., 07X, 070, 071, 075). Always include the full mobile number without removing digits.
Number length is consistent
Sri Lankan numbers are typically 10 digits long (including area code or mobile prefix) when the leading 0 is removed. Verify the complete number before dialing.

Calling tips
- Sri Lanka is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Oman. Plan calls during overlapping business hours (06:30–15:30 Oman time) for best availability.
- Weekends in Sri Lanka are Saturday–Sunday; in Oman, they may vary. Confirm before scheduling calls with offices.
- Peak calling hours (09:00–12:00 local time) tend to have better connections; avoid early mornings or very late evenings.
- Use Sayfone's browser interface to review the rate before connecting—no surprises at 0.5¢ per minute.
Business etiquette
- In Sri Lanka, greetings are formal; use titles and surnames unless invited to do otherwise.
- Allow time for pleasantries before business discussions; rushing into topics can seem rude.
- Confirm call schedules in advance, especially across time zones, to ensure availability.
- Respect public holidays in both countries; check local calendars before scheduling important calls.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Common Issues & How to Fix Them
Most calls from Oman to Sri Lanka connect smoothly. If you encounter problems, these troubleshooting steps can help.
Call does not connect or times out
Verify you have entered the full country code (+94) and the complete local number without a leading 0. Check your internet connection. If the problem persists, try again after a few minutes—temporary network issues are common. If the issue continues, contact Sayfone support for assistance.
Number format rejection or invalid number error
Double-check that you have removed any leading 0 from the Sri Lankan number. Ensure the full number is 10 digits (after the country code). For example, correct format is +94 11 234 5678, not +94 011 234 5678.
Poor call quality or dropped calls
Poor call quality is typically caused by network congestion or weak internet connectivity. Move closer to your Wi-Fi router, switch to a wired connection if possible, or try calling at a different time. Sayfone uses your existing internet connection, so optimizing your network improves call clarity.
Calls to special numbers (emergency, government) may not work
Some special numbers, including emergency services (119 in Sri Lanka) and government hotlines, may not route through international calling platforms. For emergencies, use local emergency services where possible. For government services, use email or official contact methods when available.
