The numbering plan of Egypt: formats, lengths, the regular expression for each line type and the prefix blocks allocated to each carrier, as ITU publishes it. A pattern says what a number looks like and where it was allocated; whether it is in service, and who serves it today, is a different question (below).

Test a pattern
Tick the line types you accept, copy the combined pattern, and paste numbers to see which range each one falls in. Numbers are reduced to their national digits first (no spaces, no +20, no trunk prefix 0); nothing leaves your browser.

Walk the prefixes
Type the first digits of a number in national form, or tap them: the operators holding blocks under those digits, then the block a full prefix falls in. 4 blocks held by 4 operators are on record.

Line types and their regular expressions
Match each pattern against the national significant number: digits only, without the trunk prefix 0 and without +20. The patterns follow the national numbering plan and are anchored here.

Mobile, 10 digits
^(?:1[0-25]\d{8})$Fixed line, 8 or 9 digits
^(?:13[23]\d{6}|(?:15|57)\d{6,7}|(?:2\d|3|4[05-8]|5[05]|6[24-689]|8[2468]|9[235-7])\d{7})$Toll-free, 10 digits
^(?:800\d{7})$Carrier prefix blocks
The operator each prefix block was allocated to, in national form, from the published allocation records for +20. Numbers are portable, so this is the original allocation, not necessarily the carrier serving a number today.
| Operator | Line type | Prefix blocks | Ranges |
|---|---|---|---|
| Etisalat | Mobile | 1 | 011 |
| Orange | Mobile | 1 | 012 |
| TE | Fixed line | 1 | 015 |

Questions developers ask
- How many digits does a phone number in Egypt have?
- Mobile numbers have 10 national digits. Fixed line numbers have 8 or 9 national digits (6 or 7 when dialled locally). That is the national number, without the country code +20 and without the trunk prefix 0.
- What is the country code for Egypt?
- +20. From abroad, dial your own exit code, then 20, then the national number without its trunk prefix 0. From inside Egypt, the exit code for international calls is 00.
- Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Egypt?
- Mobile numbers start with 010, 011, 012 or 015 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 010 01234567). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator.
- Can a mobile number in Egypt be ported to another carrier?
- Yes. Egypt has mobile number portability, so a prefix tells you the carrier a number was originally allocated to, not necessarily the one serving it today. Only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) answers that.
