Calling Tunisia from France: what to know

Tunisia answers on the country code +216, with the capital in Tunis and most business concentrated around Tunis, Sfax and Sousse. The working language for business is Arabic, French, and local offices generally keep hours of 8:30 to 17:30.

From France the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +216 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 Tunisia.

Most mobiles in Tunisia sit on operators such as Tunisie Telecom, Ooredoo Tunisia, Orange Tunisia. Business communication routinely mixes French and Arabic, many tech and finance firms operate primarily in French.

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