How numbers in Algeria are built
A number in Algeria is the country code +213 followed by a national number of 8 or 9 digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.
Written locally as 0551 23 45 67, an example mobile number in Algeria is dialed as +213 551 23 45 67 from abroad.
Leave out the leading 0 when you dial it with the country code.
Why a call to Algeria fails to connect
- Keeping the leading 0: after +213 it is one digit too many, and the network rejects the call.
- Leaving out 00 (or +): without it your carrier reads 213 as the start of a number in France, not as a country code.
- A wrong number of digits: a number in Algeria has 8 or 9 digits after +213.
Best time to call
Algeria and France share the same local time.
That gap moves between 0 h and 1 h during the year, because one of the two countries changes its clocks for daylight saving.
France changes its clocks for daylight saving, so its offset moves between UTC+1 and UTC+2 during the year.
France moves its clocks on March 29 and October 25.
Algeria does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so the offset stays UTC+1 all year.
