Calling Sri Lanka

How to phone Sri Lanka from the UK

Sri Lanka uses the country code +94.

From the United Kingdom you need to dial:

0094
then the full national number minus any leading 0

Example

Sri Lanka number: 029 6543210
Dialled from the UK as: 00 94 29 6543210

Numbers beginning with +94

Sometimes, the number you want to call may already be written out including the +94 country code. For example:

  • +94 29 6543210
  • +94 (0)29 6543210

In such cases, you just replace the '+' with the UK international access code of 00 and ignore any reference to '(0)'. Both the examples above would be dialled as: 00 94 29 6543210.


How do they call me from Sri Lanka?

To call a United Kingdom landline or mobile phone from Sri Lanka, dial 00 44, then the UK number without its leading zero.

For example, the UK number 01632 312829 should be dialled as 00 44 1632 312829 from Sri Lanka.
