## Frequently asked questions

What is the area code for Cairo?

The area code for Cairo, Egypt is 2. Calling from outside Egypt, dial your exit code, then +20, then the area code without its trunk prefix, then the local number — written together as +20 2 followed by the subscriber number.

How do I call Cairo from abroad?

From the United States or Canada, dial 011 + 20 + 2 + the local number. From most of Europe and from a mobile anywhere, replace the exit code with 00 or simply press and hold 0 to enter a plus sign, which works from any country without knowing its exit code.

Do I drop the 0 when calling Cairo?

Yes. Egypt uses 0 as a trunk prefix for domestic calls, so Cairo's code is written 2 locally and dialled as 2 from abroad. Keeping the trunk prefix in an international number is the single most common reason the call fails to connect.

How many digits is a Cairo phone number?

A full Egypt number is 9 digits after the country code, area code included — for example +20 2 2345 6789. That length is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number one digit short is a typo rather than a valid shorter number.

How much does it cost to call Cairo?

Calling a Cairo landline costs $0.28 a minute with Telvio and a mobile costs $0.33. Ten minutes to a landline is $2.80. Billing is per second with no connection fee, so a short call is charged for the seconds it used rather than rounded up to a whole minute.

## Call Cairo with Telvio

From $0.28/min. Per-second billing, 1 free minute included.
