The View from Kano
Kano is Nigeria's commercial north: a city of traders, manufacturers and scholars with ties running east to the Gulf states, north to Libya and Morocco, and west across the Sahel. It is also one of the largest cities in sub-Saharan Africa by population, at over four million, which means its phone market matters at scale. MTN and Airtel serve most of the city; Glo has a presence; 9mobile less so in the north. Most Kano residents are on prepaid, buying airtime in small top-ups from hawkers near Kantin Kwari textile market or at filling stations on Murtala Muhammed Way.
International calling from Kano runs into the same arithmetic it does everywhere in Nigeria: the local airtime rate for a direct international call is high enough to feel punitive on a typical recharge. The Gulf corridor is especially active — Kano businessmen with operations in Dubai, traders sourcing goods from Saudi Arabia and workers with relatives in Qatar call those destinations frequently. The official carrier rate for a Kano-to-Dubai call eats through a 500-naira recharge fast enough that most serious callers don't even try it that way.
Who Calls Abroad from Kano
Kano's outbound diaspora is shaped by its identity as a northern Hausa-Fulani city with deep Islamic scholarly traditions. Students travel to Saudi Arabia and Egypt for Islamic study; Gulf labour migration pulls workers to Qatar, the UAE and Kuwait, and Kano families maintain those Gulf ties across generations. Lebanon and Morocco are trading partners with old roots — Lebanese merchant families have operated in Kano since the colonial period, and the city maintains commercial ties to Casablanca and Beirut. Internally, Kano receives migrants from across northern Nigeria and the Sahel — from Niger, Chad and Cameroon — making it a hub of both domestic and cross-border calling rather than purely an outbound city.

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 Kano
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 Kano
The Kantin Kwari market has a calling culture: traders finalize deals by phone, check container arrivals and negotiate supplier prices on calls that cross time zones. Paying MTN's international rate for a twenty-minute negotiation with a Dubai supplier is a cost that compounds daily. Data has become the workaround of choice for serious callers — not WhatsApp voice, which the other party can ignore or miss, but a data-carried call to the supplier's regular mobile number that rings like any other call. Kano's urban data infrastructure has improved significantly; 4G coverage in the commercial districts is reliable enough that a voice call over data doesn't break mid-negotiation. For the trader, the student calling Cairo or the worker maintaining contact with a brother in Kuwait, that reliability at a fraction of the airtime cost is what makes the shift permanent.
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.
