The View from Can Tho
Can Tho is the Mekong Delta's commercial capital, and the Delta has been one of Vietnam's largest sources of overseas migration for decades. The families who stayed behind in Ninh Kieu and Cai Rang districts are often the people receiving remittances and placing calls β typically to relatives in the United States, particularly in California and Texas, where Vietnamese communities from the south of the country concentrated after 1975. The calling pattern in Can Tho is therefore weighted heavily toward the US, with Australia and Canada as secondary corridors.
Most households run Viettel or Vietnamobile prepaid accounts, dialing out on area code 292. The US corridor is expensive at standard carrier rates because US mobile termination is charged differently than landlines, and the California communities that Delta families most often reach are on smartphones. That rate differential quietly makes every long call cost more than the advertised price suggests.
Can Tho's International Communities
The Mekong Delta produced one of the largest waves of Vietnamese emigration to the US after 1975, and Can Tho families trace tight lines to communities in Orange County, San Jose, Houston and New Orleans. These are established communities now β second and third generation β but they maintain close contact with aging parents and extended family in the Delta. Australia holds the second corridor: a significant South Vietnamese diaspora settled in Melbourne and Sydney, with Can Tho and surrounding provinces well represented. Canada, particularly in the greater Toronto area, has drawn a newer wave of young migrants from the Delta who arrived through skilled-worker and student channels.

Telecommunications in Afghanistan
Afghanistan's telecommunications infrastructure has seen significant growth and modernization over the past two decades, particularly following the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001. The country is served by several mobile network operators, including Afghan Wireless, Roshan, Etisalat, and MTN. These operators offer extensive coverage, with mobile phone usage being widespread among the population of around 40 million. As of 2023, 4G networks are available in major urban areas like Kabul, Herat, and Kandahar, although 5G services are not yet widely implemented due to ongoing infrastructural challenges.
Landline services are relatively limited, primarily available in urban centers. Mobile phones have become the predominant means of communication, with over 20 million subscribers reported. The affordability of mobile services has contributed to their popularity, creating a dynamic telecommunications landscape where many Afghans rely on mobile phones for both personal and business communication. Despite ongoing security challenges, the telecommunications sector has shown resilience and adaptability, making it a vital part of everyday life in Afghanistan.
Dialing Afghanistan from Abroad
To call Afghanistan from abroad, you need to follow a specific dialing format. Start by dialing your country's international access code, which is typically 00 or +, followed by Afghanistan's country code, which is +93. After that, youβll need to enter the area code and the local number. Hereβs the step-by-step process:
1. Dial your international access code (e.g., 00 or +).
2. Dial Afghanistan's country code: 93.
3. Enter the area code (without the leading zero if there is one).
4. Dial the local phone number.
Area codes in Afghanistan can vary by region; for example, Kabul's area code is 20, while Kandahar is 30. When calling mobile numbers, you can omit the area code, as the mobile numbers are usually formatted as +93 7XX XXX XXX. Note that there are no special prefixes required for mobile numbers, making the dialing process straightforward.
Best Times to Call Afghanistan from Can Tho
Afghanistan operates on Afghanistan Time (AFT), which is UTC+4:30. This unique time zone means that it can be challenging to find suitable times for international calls, particularly if you are in a region with a significant time difference. Typical business hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM AFT, Saturday through Thursday, making these the best times to reach professionals.
Personal calls can be made in the early mornings or late evenings when individuals are more likely to be available. Afghans generally observe Friday as a day of rest, so itβs best to avoid scheduling calls on that day. Major national holidays, such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, may also affect availability, as many people will be with their families celebrating. Understanding these time patterns will help ensure that your calls are timely and appreciated.
Calling Etiquette in Afghanistan
Phone call etiquette in Afghanistan is shaped by cultural norms and traditional values. When answering a call, it is common for individuals to greet the caller with a friendly "Salam" (peace) followed by their name. Formal greetings are preferred in business contexts, while informal greetings can be used among friends and family.
Cold calling is generally acceptable, but itβs wise to identify yourself and state your purpose clearly, especially in a business context. Afghans value personal relationships, so establishing rapport before diving into business matters is crucial. During personal calls, itβs customary to inquire about the well-being of the personβs family, reflecting the importance of familial connections in Afghan culture.
Communication channels like WhatsApp and Telegram are also widely used for both personal and professional interactions, especially among the younger population, enhancing connectivity despite any infrastructural limitations.
Mobile vs Landline Numbers in Afghanistan
Mobile is the only realistic way to reach most Afghans. Landlines exist in some government offices and older Kabul institutions, but very few households rely on them, and connections are unreliable outside the capital. Mobile numbers from Afghan Wireless, Roshan, Etisalat, and MTN begin with 07 domestically β when dialing from abroad, that leading zero drops and you dial +93 7X. The difference between operators matters in practice: coverage gaps are significant in mountainous provinces, and a number on one network may reach fine in Kabul but drop entirely in Badakhshan. If your contact isn't answering, the likeliest explanation is coverage, not avoidance. WhatsApp over Wi-Fi has become the fallback for Afghans who are technically reachable but sitting on a patchy signal, so a data message often lands when a voice call cannot.
Why Can Tho Callers Switch to VoIP
Can Tho sits in a part of Vietnam where fixed broadband arrived later than in Hanoi or Saigon, but 4G coverage from Viettel has been solid across the city proper for years. That means the data infrastructure for VoIP calls exists even for households that never installed fiber. The US corridor matters here more than in most Vietnamese cities, and US rates over standard carrier plans are among the more painful in the international table β driven partly by mobile termination charges that apply to the California and Texas numbers these families actually call. Routing those calls over data drops the per-minute cost to something that doesn't require thinking twice before dialing.
Cost-Saving Habits for Calling Afghanistan
Calling an Afghan mobile runs higher per minute than many regions, so keeping calls purposeful matters more than timing alone. That said, midweek daytime calls to Kabul β when recipients are in offices or shops rather than commuting β have a better first-answer rate than evenings. Friday is the day of rest and calls are less likely to be picked up for business matters. Internet holidays around Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha shift the whole country's rhythm for several days; plan around them rather than through them. If your contact has access to a stable internet connection, switching to a WhatsApp or Telegram call eliminates the per-minute rate entirely. Short confirmation calls to arrange a longer scheduled time are also worth building into any regular cadence with Afghanistan contacts.
