Egyptian Phone Number Formats
Egyptian numbers follow predictable patterns once you know the rules:
| Type | Prefix | Example (local) | International |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile (Vodafone) | 010 | 0100 123 4567 | +20 100 123 4567 |
| Mobile (Etisalat/e&) | 011 | 0115 000 0000 | +20 115 000 0000 |
| Mobile (Orange) | 012 | 0122 000 0000 | +20 122 000 0000 |
| Mobile (WE) | 015 | 0155 000 0000 | +20 155 000 0000 |
| Cairo landline | 02 | 02 2575 0000 | +20 2 2575 0000 |
| Alexandria landline | 03 | 03 480 0000 | +20 3 480 0000 |
Key rule: Egypt's country code is +20. To dial from abroad, drop the leading 0 and add +20. So
010 1234 5678 becomes +20 10 1234 5678. WhatsApp in Egypt
WhatsApp is how Egypt does business. Hotels, drivers, tour guides, restaurants - almost everyone responds faster on WhatsApp than any other channel. Save the international format (+20...) in your contacts for it to work correctly.
Common Issues When Dialling Egypt
- Number starts with +2 not +20 - rare typo, usually a copy-paste error from an old format.
- 8-digit vs 10-digit - older landline numbers (especially outside Cairo) may be 7 or 8 digits after the area code; if a number is too short, try adding a leading digit to the subscriber part.
- SIM card needed for OTP - apps like Uber, Careem and banking platforms require a local Egyptian number for one-time passwords. Your eSIM (if you have one) may not receive OTPs. See SIM Cards & Internet for options.
