History
Egypt expanded several fixed-line areas and migrated mobile services to eleven-digit domestic numbers in 2011. Prefix 15 was assigned to a mobile service in 2017, while 10th of Ramadan City moved from geographic code 15 to 55.
Egypt observes seasonal clock changes, so the current UTC offset should be calculated rather than assumed. A geographic prefix indicates the numbering area associated with a fixed line, not the caller’s identity.
