International Calling from Nijmegen
Nijmegen, area code 24, is the oldest city in the Netherlands and home to Radboud University, which draws a steady international student and academic population alongside its domestic base. The city sits on the German border, and a quiet fraction of its calling traffic moves east for commercial and personal reasons — German is taught in Nijmegen schools partly because the border is that close. But the more intensive international corridors run south and east: Turkey, Morocco, Syria and Iraq reflect the backgrounds of the city's most active diaspora communities.
Radboud's international researchers and PhD students face the same calculation as their counterparts in Groningen or Maastricht: Dutch carrier plans bundle EU calls but price everything outside the bloc individually. A Syrian researcher calling Damascus or a Moroccan postdoc calling Rabat hits per-minute rates that eat into a research stipend in ways that seem disproportionate given how cheaply data moves internationally.
Nijmegen's Global Connections
Turkish families arrived in Nijmegen through the same guest-worker pipelines that brought them to other Brabant and Gelderland cities in the 1960s and 70s; they are now one of the city's most established immigrant-origin communities, with regular calling corridors to central and northern Turkey. The Moroccan community is a close second, with ties running particularly to Berber regions in the north of Morocco. Nijmegen has also absorbed a notable number of Syrian and Iraqi refugees since 2015, communities that maintain intense links to family members still in the region or scattered across other European countries. The Radboud academic pipeline brings Chinese, Indonesian and Indian researchers into the city on multi-year contracts, adding further corridors to the mix.

Bahrain boasts a robust telecommunications infrastructure, with both landline and mobile services widely available. The country is serviced primarily by two major mobile network operators: Batelco and Zain, both of which provide extensive 4G coverage and are in the process of rolling out 5G services. As of 2023, approximately 99% of the population has access to mobile phones, reflecting the high penetration rate in a country with a population of about 1.5 million.
Bahrain’s telecommunications framework is further supported by the presence of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA), which ensures fair competition and promotes technological advancement. Landline services are also prevalent, although mobile phones are the preferred mode of communication for many residents. The country has made significant investments in enhancing its telecommunications capabilities, aiming to keep pace with global advancements in technology.
Dialing Bahrain from Abroad
To make an international call to Bahrain, start by dialing your country's international access code. For example, in the United States, this is 011. Next, enter Bahrain's country code, which is +973. Following the country code, you will dial the local number, which typically consists of 8 digits.
Bahrain does not have distinct area codes; instead, the local number format is uniform across the country. When dialing a mobile number from abroad, the format remains the same as that for landlines. However, it's important to ensure you omit any leading zeros in the local number if they exist. For example, if the number is 17XXXXXX, simply dial it as 17XXXXXX after the country code. Be aware that calling from mobile to mobile or landline to landline will not require different prefixes, simplifying the dialing process.
Best Times to Call Bahrain from Nijmegen
Bahrain operates on Arabian Standard Time (AST), which is UTC+3. This means that when scheduling calls, it’s essential to consider the time difference from your location. The standard business hours in Bahrain are typically from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Sunday through Thursday, aligning with the Islamic workweek, as Friday and Saturday constitute the weekend.
When planning calls, it is advisable to avoid national holidays such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, when many businesses close for extended periods. Additionally, during the month of Ramadan, working hours may shift, and many professionals may prefer to schedule calls later in the day post-iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast. Personal call windows are often flexible, but calling in the early evening is generally a safe choice.
Calling Etiquette in Bahrain
In Bahrain, phone call etiquette tends to reflect the country’s blend of modern and traditional values. When answering a call, it is common for individuals to greet the caller with “Hello” or “As-salamu alaykum” (peace be upon you) for a more formal touch. This duality in greeting styles is indicative of Bahrain’s multicultural environment, with both Arabic and English widely used.
Cold calling is generally less accepted in business settings compared to personal contacts, where friends and family may call without prior notice. In professional contexts, it is advisable to schedule calls ahead of time, especially for more formal discussions. Preferred communication channels may vary; while phone calls are acceptable for immediate matters, emails often serve as the initial touchpoint for business communications, providing a written record and time for consideration.
Reading Bahrain Phone Numbers
Bahrain's numbering plan is unusually clean: all numbers are eight digits with no area code distinctions. Mobiles typically start with 3, landlines with 1 or 6. Batelco and Zain both operate mobile networks, and a 3-prefix number usually belongs to one of them. The island is small and mobile coverage is essentially complete, so mobiles are the primary point of contact for most residents. Landlines are common in corporate offices and government ministries, and calling a 1-prefix fixed line during business hours is the most reliable way to reach a department rather than an individual. Numbers starting with 8 are often special services; treat any 8-prefix number with caution when calling from outside the country, as they may not connect or may route unexpectedly.
Smarter International Calling in Nijmegen
The German border means Nijmegen residents with cross-border family or business ties already benefit from EU bundle pricing — the barrier is invisible there. The problem sits in the Turkish, Moroccan, Syrian and Iraqi corridors, where per-minute rates on Dutch carriers have not tracked the actual collapse in underlying wholesale costs. KPN and T-Mobile price these destinations to protect margin, not to reflect what it actually costs to terminate a call in Istanbul or Casablanca. Nijmegen also has a strong student culture that defaults to data-first communication, and the jump from messaging to voice-over-data is a short one. For the Syrian and Iraqi diaspora communities, who often have family scattered across multiple non-EU countries, per-country add-on pricing is particularly punishing — a single VoIP rate card simplifies what would otherwise be a matrix of different add-ons.
Saving on Regular Calls to Bahrain
Bahrain's working week runs Sunday to Thursday — a common miscalculation for callers used to a Monday start. Calls on Friday or Saturday go to personal time, and even senior professionals are unlikely to pick up for business matters. The time zone is Gulf Standard Time, UTC+3, with no daylight saving adjustment. During Ramadan, office hours typically shorten to around six hours per day, often with a later start, and the window for productive calls narrows; calling after iftar in the evening can work better for personal contacts. Landlines are generally cheaper to reach than mobiles from abroad, so routing calls to a company's fixed line rather than a personal mobile is the simplest way to reduce cost on frequent business calls.
