Time Difference
Haiti is in the Eastern Time Zone (ET). It observes Daylight Saving Time (EDT, UTC-4) from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, and Standard Time (EST, UTC-5) for the rest of the year.
This means Haiti's time is generally the same as the US East Coast. For example:
- When it's 12 PM (noon) in New York (ET), it's 12 PM (noon) in Port-au-Prince.
Haiti's Phone System
Haiti's telecommunications infrastructure has faced challenges but has seen improvements, particularly in mobile services. Mobile phone penetration is significantly higher than landline use. The major mobile operators are Digicel and Natcom. Internet access is growing, though it may be limited outside major urban areas.
Best Times to Call
Since Haiti is generally in the same time zone as the US East Coast:
- Standard business hours (e.g., 9 AM - 5 PM ET) are usually suitable for calls.
- Always confirm the recipient's local time if precise timing is critical, especially during DST transitions.
