To make a call to Oman from Sri Lanka, you actually will need to dial the following format:

-(Country Exit Code for Sri Lanka) + 968 + Area code + telephone number

• Exit Dialing code - Every nation is provided an exit code which can be put to use whenever you are dialing outside of that specific country
• Country Dialing Code - Each country is allocated a country dialing code for incoming telephone calls to that specific country
• Telephone Number - the telephone number an individual would like to call in Oman.

Whenever dialing to Oman, you are expected to drop the 1st digit of the phone number. This is due to the fact, telephone numbering plans in Oman use a so called Telephone Trunk Code (Trung Prefix). This is generally the digit ’0‘ (zero) which is positioned in front of telephone numbers for calls originating within the country. However, this particular digit needs to be left out each time you are dialing an overseas destination.

There are occasions when an international telephone call may not go through. Some of the causes are explained below:

• Phone lines are blocked for foreign calls
• Mobile phone numbers do not use area codes
