Calling Afghanistan from United Kingdom: what to know

Afghanistan answers on the country code +93, with the capital in Kabul and most business concentrated around Kabul and Mobile. The working language for business is Dari and Pashto, and local offices generally keep hours of 08:00 to 16:00, Saturday to Thursday; Friday is the rest day.

From United Kingdom the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +93 then the local number. Intercalling removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between United Kingdom and Afghanistan.

Most mobiles in Afghanistan sit on operators such as Roshan, Afghan Wireless (AWCC), Etisalat Afghanistan. Afghanistan runs a half hour offset (UTC+4:30) and the working week runs Saturday to Thursday.

Afghanistan runs on UTC plus 4:30, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
