Egypt Phone Number Directory: Vodafone, Orange, Etisalat & WE Guide
The Arab Republic of Egypt is the most populous nation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), with over 105 million residents and more than 100 million active mobile subscriptions. The Egyptian telecommunications sector is regulated by the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA).
Due to the massive volume of cross-border trade, remittances, and family connections between Egypt and the GCC nations (especially Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait), recognizing Egyptian telephone formats and mobile network operator prefixes is essential.

4. Verifying Egyptian Phone Numbers & Avoiding Fraud
Egyptian phone numbers frequently interact with Gulf residents. To verify unknown callers or delivery contacts:
- Check the operator: Use the
010,011,012, or015prefix to identify whether the line is Vodafone, Etisalat, Orange, or WE. - Be cautious with electronic wallet scams (Vodafone Cash / InstaPay fraud): Scammers often fabricate urgent transfer refund claims.
- Run a free check on Number LookUp: Select Egypt (
+20) and enter the 10-digit number (dropping the initial zero) to see caller tags and spam ratings.
