Essen and the World
Essen was the headquarters of Krupp steel and the engine of the Ruhr industrial region for a century. The postwar guest-worker system brought Turkish, Italian and Yugoslav workers to its factories, and when the factories closed, the workers stayed. Today Essen is a city in long transition — European Green Capital in 2017, home to RWE's energy headquarters, and still carrying a large working-class population whose international telephone habits trace back to the 1970s. The calling corridors are old and well-worn.
The city's median income is below the German national average, which makes phone-plan arithmetic a real household consideration. German carrier contracts deliver excellent domestic rates but the story changes at the EU border. Calls to Turkey, Kosovo or North Macedonia — three destinations that matter intensely to Essen's diaspora communities — sit outside EU flat-rate territory and get priced individually or bundled into add-ons that cost more per month than many residents consider justified. Discount MVNO SIMs on Telekom or Vodafone's network are common here; they carry even less international flexibility than the main-brand plans.
Who Calls Abroad from Essen
Turkey is Essen's dominant diaspora connection. The community is settled and multigenerational, with major concentrations in Altenessen and Katernberg, and the calls it places to Istanbul, Samsun and Trabzon sustain one of the busiest Turkey corridors in the Ruhr. Kosovo Albanian and North Macedonian families, who arrived in smaller numbers during the Balkan displacement of the 1990s, keep ties to Pristina and Skopje. Italian families from the original postwar Gastarbeiter cohort are now well-integrated and fewer in number, but they persist. A growing Moroccan community has been adding Casablanca and Tangier to the city's call map over the past two decades.

Jordan has a well-developed telecommunications infrastructure that has seen significant advancements in recent years. The country is served by three major mobile network operators: Zain, Orange, and Umniah. These carriers provide extensive coverage across urban and rural areas, with Zain being the largest provider, boasting a subscriber base of over 3 million. The launch of 4G services in 2015 has greatly enhanced mobile internet access, and as of late 2023, 5G services are also being rolled out in major cities, improving connectivity for users.
Landline services are available but less common in households compared to mobile phones. Mobile phone usage is widespread, with a penetration rate exceeding 100%, indicating that many individuals own multiple devices. Internet penetration is also notable, with approximately 85% of the population having access to the internet, primarily through mobile devices. This robust telecom infrastructure supports both personal and professional communication needs effectively.
Dialing Jordan from Abroad
To make an international call to Jordan, you need to follow a specific dialing format. Start by dialing your country's exit code, which allows you to make an international call. For example, in the United States, this is 011. After that, dial Jordan's country code, which is +962.
Next, you'll need to include the area code for the city or region you are calling. Jordan has several area codes, such as 6 for Amman and 2 for Irbid. When calling a mobile number, you do not need to dial the area code; instead, just start with the mobile number directly.
For example, to call a mobile number in Amman, you would dial: **011 + 962 + [mobile number]**. If you were calling a landline in Amman, it would look like this: **011 + 962 + 6 + [landline number]**. Remember that mobile numbers in Jordan typically start with a 7, while landlines will have a two-digit area code.
Best Times to Call Jordan from Essen
Jordan operates on Eastern European Time (EET), which is UTC+2, and observes Daylight Saving Time, shifting to UTC+3 during the summer months. This means that the time difference can vary depending on the season.
Typical working hours in Jordan are from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Sunday to Thursday, with Fridays and Saturdays being the weekend. Thus, the best window for business calls is during these working hours. For personal calls, early evenings, from around 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, are usually a good time, as people are often home after work.
It’s important to be aware of national holidays when scheduling calls. Major holidays such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and the Jordanian Independence Day (May 25) may affect availability, as many businesses close for several days, and people spend time with family.
Calling Etiquette in Jordan
In Jordan, phone call etiquette is influenced by both cultural norms and the context of the conversation. When answering a call, it is common for people to greet the caller with a warm "Hello" or "Ahlan," followed by a question such as "How are you?" This reflects the hospitable nature of Jordanian society.
In formal settings, particularly in business contexts, it is advisable to use titles and surnames until invited to use first names. Cold calling is generally acceptable, especially for business purposes, but it is best to identify yourself and your purpose quickly to respect the other party's time.
For personal calls, casual conversation is welcomed, and inquiries about family or health are common before diving into the main topic. In business, phone calls are usually conducted in Arabic, but English is widely spoken, particularly in urban areas. It’s recommended to gauge the preferred language of the individual you are contacting upfront.
Jordan Phone Numbers: What to Expect
Jordanian mobile numbers begin with 7 — specifically 77, 78, or 79 depending on the carrier — and run to eight digits in total after the country code. Zain numbers typically open with 79, while Orange uses 77 and Umniah 78, though number portability has blurred those boundaries somewhat. Landlines carry two-digit area codes: Amman is 6, Zarqa is 5, Irbid is 2, and Aqaba is 3. The local portion of a landline is seven digits. Business contacts in Amman will frequently have both — a direct office line and a mobile — and reaching the mobile is usually faster outside core office hours. A practical note for foreign callers: Jordan's toll-free 800 numbers and the special 90x premium-rate range are domestic-only; if you see one of those in a directory, look for a regular geographic number instead.
Beating Carrier Rates in Essen
Essen's residents have been solving the expensive international call problem for longer than any app has existed. The calling card was the city's solution for forty years — sold in the Turkish-owned shops of Altenessen, denominated in euros, and eaten by access fees faster than the balance suggested. Moving that same call onto a mobile data connection doesn't require a change in habit, only in the tool. The call still goes out, arrives as a normal ring on a phone in Istanbul or Pristina, and costs a published rate per minute. German LTE coverage in Essen is good enough that even a cheap prepaid SIM carries the call reliably. The main difference is that no card expires on the shelf and no PIN number stands between you and the dial pad.
Keeping Essen–Jordan Call Costs Down
Jordan observes Eastern European Time (UTC+2) with a seasonal shift to UTC+3 in summer, so the window overlaps usefully with European afternoons and early East Coast mornings. The working week runs Sunday through Thursday, which catches many Western callers off-guard; a Friday call to a Jordanian office will go unanswered the same way a Sunday call to a European one would. Landlines in Amman are generally cheaper to dial than mobiles from abroad, making them the better option for longer conversations with businesses or family homes that still have a fixed line. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha bring several days of extended family gatherings — personal calls land warmly during these periods, but business calls should wait until after. Ramadan shifts the effective workday earlier and evenings later; calls after 9 PM local time can actually find people more alert than the 2 PM window during the fast.
