Hello everyone.

My mum just rang with a mobile number to call her on. She gave me 012 99 61 xxx.

I can't get through. I dial 0011 + 20 + number and i get nowhere. In my country mobile prefixes are 4 digits e.g. 0125 rather than 3- 012.

What's the correct way to call a mobile in egypt??

If you are calling Egypt the number should be +20 12 99 61 xxx and you replace the + with the prefix for international dialling in your country. and you strip of the leading 0 from the number you are calling.

In the UK the international code is 00 so the number becomes 0020 12 99 61 xxx

don't dial the first 0 in your number..dial international code from your country..then 20 which is egypt's country..then skip that first 0 in your number..you never dial that first 0 if you are out of the country..that goes for many countries..when my daughter was in brazil you dropped the first 0 also...
