- From a regular American phone you would dial 011 20 10 1234 5678 — the browser skips the exit code because it dials in international format directly.
- Egypt mobile numbers start with 1 after the country code, which is how Kinvo picks the mobile rate.
Drop the leading 0 from Egyptian numbers. Cairo area code is 02 (becomes +20 2). Mobile numbers start with 010, 011, 012, or 015. Egypt uses a single time zone (UTC+2). Arabic is the official language, but English is used in business and tourism. Business hours are typically 9 AM to 5 PM.
