Lanka Bell rings in Jaffna

Lanka Bell has launched a base station in Jaffna providing the community in the peninsula access to the country's largest CDMA fixed line service.A new Lanka Bell business office located at No. 303, Kankesanthurai Road in Jaffna will offer phones and phone accessories, bill settlement, provide technical assistance and customer service.

Commenting, Lanka Bell Managing Director Prasad Samarasinghe said: A high quality and purse-easy telecommunication service is an essential need of the people in Jaffna. There are thousands of people who would want to be in touch with the loved ones in other parts of the country or overseas as well as with displaced relatives.

He said that Lanka Bell will provide them fast and clear connectivity for local and IDD phone calls and also offer seamless broadband services.

As the country's only 100 per cent Sri Lankan owned telephone company, we consider it our duty to serve people in all the parts of the island including north and east, he said. Samarasinghe added that the free internet connectivity on Lanka Bell CDMA and dial-up connections will be useful for individual subscribers as well as the business community in Jaffna. Lanka Bell's Dial 15 service that offers the lowest for IDD rates in the country, would be particularly welcome in Jaffna, he said. To use this feature, subscribers only have to dial the prefix 15, the International Access Code (00) the country code and the area code followed by the telephone number.
