## How to call Egypt

| Calling from | Dial |
| --- | --- |
| A mobile phone, anywhere | `+20 10 01234567` |
| United States & Canada | `011 20 10 01234567` |
| UK, Europe & most countries | `00 20 10 01234567` |

Inside Egypt, numbers are written with the trunk prefix 0 (for example 010 01234567). Drop that 0 when you dial from abroad.

## Calling abroad from Egypt

To call another country from a Egypt landline, start with the exit code **00**, then the destination country code. On a mobile phone, holding **0** to type **+** works everywhere and replaces the exit code.

## Missed call from +20?

If you don’t know anyone in Egypt, be careful with short missed calls from international numbers. “One-ring” scams hope you call back a premium-rate line. Don’t return the call, don’t share codes sent by SMS, and block the number if it keeps calling. A genuine contact will usually leave a message or text.
