What is the Phone Number Format in Egypt?

Most phone numbers in Egypt are written in the following formats:

   Prefix: long distance or international
   --------------------------------------
   |   Carrier or area code 
   |   --------------------
   |   |   Subscriber number
   |   |   -----------------
   v   v   v
   0   AAA SSS-SSSS     - Local format
  +20  AAA SSS-SSSS     - International format

Most telephone numbers in Egypt have 10 digits and are written in the format of "AAA-SSS-SSSS". Here are some examples: 100-405-1515; 122-640-5648.

When dialing locally inside Egypt, the long distance prefix of "0" is required. So the format becomes "0 AAA-SSS-SSSS".

When dialing from outside of Egypt, the international dial-in prefix "+20" is required. So the format becomes "+20 AAA-SSS-SSSS".

When dialing from Egypt to other countries, the international dail-out prefix "+" or "00" required.
