Benin City and the World
Benin City carries a particular weight in the story of Nigerian emigration to Europe. The city is the Edo State capital, and for complex historical and economic reasons it became a major origin point for Nigerians who made the journey to Italy — particularly to Turin and Naples — and to other European cities, starting in the late 1990s. That migration history means Benin City has a denser set of active Europe corridors than a city of 1.5 million might otherwise generate. A household in Ugbowo or Ekosodin may have a daughter in Verona, a nephew in London and a cousin in Madrid, and each of those connections gets maintained by phone.
On the local telecom side, MTN and Airtel serve Edo State through the 52 area code, and the prepaid economy functions the same way it does across southern Nigeria. Airtime top-ups are bought at corner stores and from roadside vendors; international direct-dial is not how people normally call. The Europe corridor is the defining one here — not the Gulf, not North America — and the per-minute rate to Italian and Spanish mobile numbers is the benchmark most Benin City callers quietly compare against.
Who Calls Abroad from Benin City
The Edo diaspora in Italy is among the most established Nigerian communities in Europe, concentrated in the Turin-Milan-Naples triangle and maintained across more than two decades of chain migration. Calls between Benin City and Italian mobile numbers are among the most routine international flows in southern Nigeria. The UK holds a significant Edo community as well, in London particularly, with long roots in Brixton and newer spread across the outer boroughs. Spain and Germany have smaller but growing Edo populations. Within Benin City, the Yoruba, Igbo and Urhobo communities also have their own international ties — the city's position as Edo State capital makes it a diverse internal migrant destination, each group carrying its own outbound calling corridors.

Yemen's telecommunications infrastructure has faced significant challenges due to ongoing conflicts and economic instability. However, the mobile network remains the primary means of communication for most citizens, with a penetration rate exceeding 90%. The main mobile network operators are Yemen Mobile, MTN Yemen, and Sabafon, each offering basic and advanced services. Yemen Mobile, being the largest operator, covers a broad area, while MTN Yemen and Sabafon have carved out substantial user bases, particularly in urban areas.
As of October 2023, 4G services are available in select urban centers, but 5G coverage is still nonexistent, primarily due to infrastructure limitations. Landline availability is declining, with only around 10% of the population connected, mainly in larger cities. Mobile phone usage is pervasive, with many Yemenis relying on smartphones for internet access, social media, and communication, despite the challenges posed by intermittent electricity and internet outages.
Dialing Yemen from Abroad
To make an international call to Yemen, you must follow a specific dialing format. First, dial your country's international access code, which is often 00 or +. Then, you will need to enter Yemen’s country code, which is 967. After that, dial the area code (if applicable) followed by the local number.
Yemen's area codes vary, typically consisting of one to two digits. For example, the area code for the capital, Sana'a, is 1, while Aden uses the area code 2. When calling mobile numbers, there is no need for an area code; simply dial the mobile number, which starts with a ‘7’ prefix. Be aware that some mobile numbers may also require additional prefixes depending on the carrier. For example, if you are calling a specific mobile number, you may need to dial '7' before the number. Always check the local carrier’s instructions for any special prefixes or adjustments.
Best Times to Call Yemen from Benin City
Yemen operates on Arabian Standard Time (AST), which is UTC+3. This time zone places Yemen ahead of several major global cities; for instance, it is 7 hours ahead of New York (EST) and 2 hours ahead of London (GMT). The typical daily schedule in Yemen starts around 8 AM and ends by 5 PM for most businesses, with a break during the midday heat.
The best times to reach people are generally late mornings or early afternoons. Weekends in Yemen are Friday and Saturday, with Friday being a day of prayer, thus limiting availability. National holidays such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and Independence Day (May 22) should be avoided, as many people are likely to be unavailable during these times. Understanding these schedules can help ensure more successful communication.
Calling Etiquette in Yemen
Understanding communication culture in Yemen is vital for effective interaction. When answering calls, Yemenis generally greet the caller with a polite "Ahlan" (hello) or "Salam" (peace). Formal greetings are preferred in business contexts, where using titles and last names is common. In contrast, informal greetings may be used among friends and family.
Cold calling is generally acceptable, but it is advisable to introduce yourself clearly and state the purpose of your call right away. Personal calls often occur in the evening after work hours, while business calls are typically made during the day. Yemenis value personal relationships in business; therefore, initial calls may focus on building rapport. Preferred communication channels can vary; while phone calls are common, many also utilize messaging apps like WhatsApp for quicker and more informal conversations.
Yemen Phone Numbers: What to Expect
Yemeni mobile numbers begin with 7 after the country code +967, and they form the vast majority of reachable connections. Landlines carry single or two-digit area codes — Sana'a is 1, Aden is 2, Taiz is 4, Hodeidah is 3 — and you drop the leading zero when dialling from abroad. In current conditions, landline infrastructure in many cities has been severely disrupted by years of conflict, and a fixed-line number that worked in 2019 may ring indefinitely today. Urban mobile coverage in areas like Aden and parts of Marib is more consistently maintained. Callers should expect that mobile is the only realistic channel for personal contacts, and that business landlines should be verified as active before relying on them. Power outages also affect charging cycles, so a Yemeni mobile may be available for limited windows during the day rather than continuously.
Beating Carrier Rates in Benin City
A call from Benin City to a mobile number in Turin at MTN's standard international rate is an easy calculation: count how many naira it costs per minute, count how often the call happens, decide whether that's worth it. For most families it isn't, which is why the workaround became standard practice early. WhatsApp voice filled some of the gap but requires both parties to have the app open — you can't call someone's regular Italian SIM through WhatsApp. Data-based calling to a standard phone number solves that: the person in Turin answers their Italian mobile, the caller in Benin City pays a data-carried rate for Nigeria-to-Italy that is a fraction of MTN's, and neither party needs to coordinate which app to be ready on. For a corridor as active and as price-sensitive as Benin City-to-Italy, that difference matters every single week.
Cost-Saving Habits for Calling Yemen
Yemen is on UTC+3 year-round, placing it three hours ahead of London and eight ahead of New York. Business hours in functional areas follow a roughly 8 AM to 3 PM pattern, with a compressed afternoon to avoid midday heat. From North America, that window is almost entirely in the middle of the previous night, making a scheduled call at a pre-agreed time far more practical than a cold dial. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha both bring extended closures of days to over a week, and the dates shift annually with the Islamic calendar. Attempting contact in the days immediately before Eid typically yields low response rates as people travel or prepare. A pre-arranged call with WhatsApp confirmation is the most reliable approach — unknown international numbers are commonly ignored on first ring.
