Sri Lanka Phone Number Format & Country Code +94
Sri Lankan mobile numbers are 10 digits locally starting with 07. The trunk prefix 0 is dropped for international dialing, leaving 9 digits after the country code. The prefix after 07 identifies the carrier (071 Mobitel, 077 Dialog, 078 Hutch). To dial a Sri Lanka number internationally, replace the local trunk prefix with +94. For example, 071 234 5678 becomes +94 71 234 5678. NumSwift converts between these formats automatically, validating each number against Sri Lanka's numbering plan.
