For budget-conscious subscribers in Sri Lanka, finding a voice connection plan that bridges affordability and multi-network flexibility can be a challenge. Many low-cost voice plans limit free or discounted calling minutes strictly to the same operator’s network. This leaves users paying standard off-net tariffs whenever they call friends, family, or business contacts on other service providers.
To solve this, Dialog Axiata PLC offers the Call Blaster 298 Package. Positioned within Dialog’s mini voice portfolio, this plan provides a structured, all-inclusive calling quota to any local mobile operator or landline for a fixed price of Rs. 298.00 (inclusive of taxes).
This guide covers everything you need to know about the Dialog Call Blaster 298 package—including full allocation breakdowns, activation methods, multiple recharge rules, and usage optimization strategies.
Package Overview & Specifications
The Call Blaster 298 package is a prepaid voice and SMS solution designed for subscribers who prefer predictable monthly spending over pay-as-you-go rates. Rather than forcing users into high-tier unlimited plans, it provides a generous block of cross-network minutes at an accessible price point.

Key Benefits of the Call Blaster 298 Package
A. True Cross-Network Versatility
Unlike older “on-net only” bundles, the 400 minutes provided in the Call Blaster 298 package treat all Sri Lankan mobile operators and fixed landline connections equally. Whether you are calling a Dialog number, a Mobitel connection, or an SLT landline, your call draws directly from the 400-minute pool without incurring secondary off-net surcharges.
B. High Cost-per-Minute Value
At an all-inclusive price of Rs. 298.00 for 400 minutes, the effective cost works out to approximately Rs. 0.74 per minute for voice calls across any local network. Compared to standard standard pay-as-you-go prepaid voice tariffs (which often exceed Rs. 1.50 – Rs. 2.00 per minute plus tax), Call Blaster 298 delivers a noticeable cost saving for regular voice callers.
C. Included SMS Bundle
In addition to voice minutes, the plan includes 400 Any-Net SMS. This makes it an ideal standalone package for users who rely on short text messages for transactional, operational, or personal updates alongside routine calls.
How to Activate the Call Blaster 298 Package
Dialog offers three fast, secure activation channels for prepaid mobile customers. Choose whichever method fits your preference:
Method 1: Direct Reload (Easiest & Most Popular)
You can activate the Call Blaster 298 package without dialing any codes or opening self-care apps simply by performing an exact reload.
- Online Banking / Payment Apps: Open your mobile banking app (Commercial Bank, Sampath Vishwa, BOC, HNB, etc.), eZ Cash, or Dialog Pay. Select Mobile Reload, enter your Dialog prepaid number, and reload the exact amount of Rs. 298.00.
- Retail Partner / Communication Outlet: Visit any Dialog retailer, supermarket cashier, or communication shop and request a Direct Reload of Rs. 298.00 for your Dialog number.
- Automated Activation: The network system instantly recognizes the Rs. 298.00 denomination and applies the 400 Any-Net minutes and 400 Any-Net SMS to your prepaid account for 30 days.
Method 2: Activation via MyDialog App
If you already have main account balance credit loaded onto your prepaid SIM card:
- Launch the MyDialog App on your smartphone.
- Sign in or switch to your mobile prepaid connection.
- On the dashboard, navigate to Packages or Voice Packs.
- Browse the Mini Voice / Call Blaster list and tap Call Blaster 298.
- Tap Activate to deduct Rs. 298.00 from your main prepaid account balance.
- You will receive an instant push notification and SMS confirmation once activated.
Method 3: Activation via USSD Dial Code
For users with basic feature phones or those who prefer keypad commands:
- Open your phone’s dialer application.
- Dial
#678#and press the call button. - Select Voice Packages / Mini Voice Plans from the main menu list.
- Select Call Blaster 298.
- Press 1 to confirm the activation using your account balance.
- A confirmation pop-up and text message will verify that your minutes are ready to use.
Stacking and Multiple Activation Rules
Dialog’s prepaid system allows subscribers to activate the Call Blaster 298 package multiple times within a single month. Understanding how quota and validity stacking works ensures you get the maximum value:
- Minute Stacking: If you run out of your 400 minutes before the 30 days are up, reloading another Rs. 298.00 will immediately add a fresh 400 minutes and 400 SMS to your line.
- Validity Extension: When you re-activate the Call Blaster 298 plan before the previous cycle expires, any remaining unused minutes carry over, and the package validity extends by an additional 30 days from the latest activation date.
- Priority Routing: If you simultaneously activate an unlimited Dialog-to-Dialog voice plan alongside Call Blaster 298, the system will prioritize using your on-net minutes first for Dialog calls. Your Call Blaster 298 Any-Net minutes will only be drawn when calling other networks (such as Mobitel or Hutch) or after on-net bundles are exhausted.
Excess Usage Tariffs & Account Monitoring
Once you have activated the package, monitoring your remaining balances helps prevent unexpected deductions from your main prepaid cash credit.
Out-of-Quota Billing Tariffs:
If you exhaust your 400 minutes or 400 SMS quota prior to the 30-day expiration mark (and do not reload a new package), standard default rates will apply:
- Voice Calls (Out of Quota): Rs. 1.50 + applicable taxes per minute to any local network.
- SMS (Out of Quota): Rs. 0.20 + applicable taxes per local SMS.
How to Check Remaining Balances:
- MyDialog App: Open the app to view a real-time progress wheel showing your remaining Any-Net voice minutes, SMS count, and exact expiration date/time.
- USSD Check: Dial
#107#or#678#from your keypad, navigate to My Account / Balance Inquiry, and select Voice Package Balance to receive a free SMS update.
