How to Call Egypt From the United States

Video Transcript

"Yes, we could take care of that Larry, all right, so long. Hi everyone, my name is Russ Handler, and did you know while dialing an international number out of the United States, there's actually four separate numbers that you need to dial. That's right, it's a lot of numbers to keep in mind. Let's say you want to dial Egypt. Well, it's pretty simple. Dialing Egypt, zero, one, one, first gets you out of the country. There's then a country code. In this case, it is twenty. Then a city code, let's say we're dialing Cairo. That city code is two, and then the number you want to dial. So, calling Egypt, zero, one, one, gets you out of the country. Two, zero, gets you into Egypt. The city code, in this case, we're dialing Cairo, that would be two. And then, of course, the number, let's say that's five, five, five, four, one, two, three, six. It's that simple. Now, Egypt does have a fairly advanced domestic communication system. They've got several satellites, and they've got "sev", several inter-continental submarine cables, so you should not get a lot of problems, or rather, dropped calls while calling Egypt. I'm Russ Handler, have a great day everyone. I'm calling Cairo."
