French + Arabic Speaking
Morocco is bilingual— Arabic and French are both widely spoken. If you're calling a business, French is often the language of commerce. Darija (Moroccan Arabic) is the everyday spoken language. Many younger Moroccans also speak English, especially in tourist cities like Marrakech.
Free: App-to-App Calls
Both people need the app and internet. No charges, no limits.
1. WhatsApp — Dominant
WhatsApp is Morocco's primary communication app. Voice and video calls work well. Maroc Telecom, Orange, and Inwi all provide good 4G coverage in cities. VoIP services have had occasional restrictions in Morocco, but WhatsApp generally works.
Tip: Morocco previously blocked VoIP apps (2016-2018) but has since relaxed restrictions. WhatsApp voice and video calls currently work.
2. Facebook Messenger — Popular
Facebook is very popular in Morocco. Messenger is widely used for both messaging and calls. It's a strong backup for WhatsApp.
3. Telegram — Growing
Telegram is gaining popularity in Morocco, especially for news channels and groups. Voice calls work well.
4. FaceTime — Limited
iPhone market share is moderate in Morocco's urban areas. FaceTime works but only if both parties have Apple devices.

Which Method Should You Use?
Calling family in Morocco
WhatsApp — free and universally used. Voice and video calls work well in urban areas. Most Moroccan families are on WhatsApp.
Calling a Moroccan business
Rebtel ($0.04/min landline) or Google Voice ($0.05/min). French is the language of business — be prepared to speak French or have a translator.
Calling during Ramadan
During Ramadan, Moroccans keep late hours. Call after iftar (sunset meal) — typically after 8 PM Morocco time. Avoid calling during fasting hours when people may be less responsive.
Tips for Calling Morocco

- French and Arabic — Morocco uses both languages. French is dominant in business, Darija (Moroccan Arabic) in daily life. Many younger people speak English too
- Drop the leading 0 — Moroccan numbers locally start with 0 (like 0661). When dialing from the US, always drop the 0 after +212
- No DST — Morocco stopped observing daylight saving time. The time difference stays consistent year-round at UTC+0
- Large Moroccan diaspora — there are significant Moroccan communities in France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, and increasingly in the US and Canada
