Calling Egypt — Things to Know

• WhatsApp is the dominant messaging app in Egypt, used by the vast majority of smartphone users. However, VoIP calling through apps has been restricted or throttled at times. Phone calls through BubblyPhone use telephone networks, bypassing internet restrictions.
• Vodafone Egypt, Orange Egypt, Etisalat (now e&), and WE (Telecom Egypt's mobile arm) are the four carriers. Vodafone and Orange have the largest subscriber bases.
• Egypt has periodically blocked or throttled VoIP services. Traditional phone calls remain the most reliable communication method, especially for reaching older family members.
• Friday is the main day off in Egypt, with some businesses also closed Saturday. Keep this in mind for business calls.
• Ramadan affects calling patterns significantly. During Ramadan, many Egyptians stay up late and sleep during the day. The best calling time shifts to late evening or after iftar (sunset meal).
• Egypt does not currently observe daylight saving time (suspended since 2014), so the time difference from the US stays consistent year-round except when the US shifts clocks.
