Calling Algeria from France: what to know

Algeria answers on the country code +213, with the capital in Algiers and most business concentrated around Algiers, Oran and Constantine. The working language for business is Arabic, Tamazight, French (widely used in business), and local offices generally keep hours of 8:00 to 16:30 Sunday Thursday.

From France the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +213 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between France and Algeria.

Most mobiles in Algeria sit on operators such as Mobilis (Algérie Télécom), Djezzy (VEON), Ooredoo Algeria. Algeria runs Sunday Thursday work week with Friday and Saturday as weekend.

Algeria runs on UTC plus 1, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
