Marshall Islands' Phone System
The telecommunications infrastructure in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is primarily managed by the National Telecommunications Authority (NTA), a state-owned enterprise. NTA provides fixed-line, mobile (including 4G LTE services in major centers like Majuro and Ebeye), and internet services. Connectivity to outer islands can be challenging and may rely on satellite links or HF radio. The country is connected to international submarine fiber optic cables, which has improved internet bandwidth and reliability compared to previous satellite-only dependence. However, services can still be expensive and speeds may vary.
Best Times to Call
Considering the Marshall Islands are 16 to 17 hours ahead of US Eastern Time (ET), and a day ahead for a significant portion of the US day:
- To reach someone during typical Marshallese business hours (e.g., Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM MHT):
- When US is on EDT (16 hours behind MHT): Call from the US ET zone between 4:00 PM and 1:00 AM ET (previous day). For example, calling at 5 PM ET on a Monday in the US would be 9 AM Tuesday in the Marshall Islands.
