A Sri Lankan phone number in international format is written as +94 [area code without 0] [local]. Example: +94 11 234 5678 for Colombo (011 234 5678 domestic), +94 81 234 5678 for Kandy, +94 77 123 4567 for a Dialog mobile.
Sri Lankan mobile numbers all start with 7X (070-078 domestically; +94 7X internationally). Drop the leading 0 internationally. Sri Lankan numbers are 9 digits after the leading 0 — area code (2 digits without 0) + 7-digit local, or 7X + 7-digit mobile subscriber.
From the Galle Face Green in Colombo to the tea estates of Nuwara Eliya, every Sri Lankan number lives behind a +94. Pick the area code that matches your customer city.
Every country uses a different exit code before +94. From any mobile, + replaces the exit code — so +94 11 234 5678 works worldwide. Always drop the leading 0 from Sri Lankan numbers.
