How To Call Yemen From USA: Updated For 2025

Calling Yemen Guide

Quick Answer

To call Yemen from the United States:

  • Landline: 011 + 967 + Area Code (1 digit, e.g., 1 for Sana'a) + Local Number (6-7 digits)
  • Mobile: 011 + 967 + Mobile Prefix (first digit is 7, followed by operator digit) + Subscriber Number (7 digits)

Examples:

  • For a Sana'a landline (Area Code 1): 011 + 967 + 1 + XXX XXX (or XXX XXXX)
  • For a Yemeni mobile phone (e.g., starting with 77): 011 + 967 + 77X XXX XXXX (where 77 is the prefix and XXXXXXX is the number)

Yemen is on Arabian Standard Time (AST), UTC+3. It is 7 or 8 hours ahead of US Eastern Time (ET), depending on whether the US is on Daylight Saving Time.

How to Dial Yemen from the US

How to Call a Landline in Yemen

To call a Yemeni landline from the United States, follow these steps:

  1. Step 1 – Dial the US exit code: Start by dialing 011.
  2. Step 2 – Dial Yemen's country code: Next, key in 967.
  3. Step 3 – Dial the Yemeni Area Code: Yemeni area codes are 1 digit long (e.g., 1 for Sana'a, 2 for Aden). The leading 0 from the domestic area code (e.g., 01) is dropped when calling internationally.
  4. Step 4 – Dial the local phone number: This is typically a 6 or 7-digit number.

For example, to call a Sana'a landline number that is locally (01) XXX XXX, you would dial: 011 967 1 XXX XXX

How to Call a Mobile Phone in Yemen

Calling a Yemeni mobile phone from the US involves these steps:

  1. Step 1 – Dial the US exit code: Start by dialing 011.
  2. Step 2 – Dial Yemen's country code: Next, key in 967.
  3. Step 3 – Dial the Yemeni mobile number: Yemeni mobile numbers are 9 digits long and start with 7. The second digit often indicates the operator (e.g., 70, 71, 73, 77, 78). You dial the full 9-digit mobile number after the country code.

For example, if the Yemeni mobile number is 77X XXX XXXX, you would dial: 011 967 77X XXX XXXX from the US.

Understanding Yemeni Phone Numbers

Yemeni phone numbers use the country code +967. When dialing internationally, the leading 0 from a domestic area code (for landlines) is dropped.

Landline Numbers

  • Format from US: 011 + 967 + Area Code (1 digit) + Subscriber Number (6-7 digits)
  • The total National Significant Number (NSN) length after +967 for landlines is typically 7 or 8 digits.

Mobile Numbers

  • Format from US: 011 + 967 + Mobile Number (9 digits, starting with 7)
  • After +967, Yemeni mobile numbers are 9 digits long and begin with the digit 7. The subsequent digits (e.g., 70x, 71x, 73x, 77x, 78x) indicate the mobile operator.

Yemeni Area Codes (Fixed Lines)

When calling a landline in Yemen from the US, dial 011 + 967, then the 1-digit area code (dropping the domestic leading '0'), followed by the 6 or 7-digit local subscriber number. Here are the area codes for major governorates:

Governorate(s) Area Code (Dial after 967)
Major Governorate Area Codes
Sana'a1
Aden, Lahij, Abyan, Dhale2
Hodeidah, Raymah3
Ibb, Taiz4
Hadhramaut, Shabwa, Al Mahrah, Socotra5
Marib, Al Jawf, Al Bayda, Dhamar6
Saada, Hajjah, 'Amran, Mahwit7

The local subscriber number is typically 6 or 7 digits long.

Yemeni Mobile Phone Prefixes

Yemeni mobile phone numbers are 9 digits long after the +967 country code. They all start with the digit 7, and the following digits indicate the specific mobile operator.

Mobile Prefix (after +967) Operator Example Full Number (from US)
70X XXX XXXXY (Y Telecom)e.g., 011 967 70X XXX XXXX
71X XXX XXXXSabafone.g., 011 967 71X XXX XXXX
73X XXX XXXXYOU (Yemeni Omani United, formerly MTN Yemen)e.g., 011 967 73X XXX XXXX
77X XXX XXXXYemen Mobilee.g., 011 967 77X XXX XXXX
78X XXX XXXXYemen Mobile (Newer allocations)e.g., 011 967 78X XXX XXXX

The 'X' represents further digits of the subscriber number. The entire mobile number after +967 is 9 digits long.

Time Difference

Yemen operates on Arabian Standard Time (AST), which is UTC+3.

Yemen does not observe Daylight Saving Time.

The time difference compared to the US East Coast (ET):

  • When the US is on Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC-5): Yemen is 8 hours ahead of ET. (e.g., 12 PM EST is 8 PM in Yemen).
  • When the US is on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-4): Yemen is 7 hours ahead of ET. (e.g., 12 PM EDT is 7 PM in Yemen).

Always verify the current US time zone (EST or EDT) to accurately calculate the difference.

Yemen's Phone System

Yemen's telecommunications infrastructure has faced significant challenges due to ongoing conflict and historical underdevelopment. The state-owned Public Telecommunications Corporation (PTC), operating YemenNet, and TeleYemen have traditionally been major players in fixed-line and international gateway services. The mobile sector is more dynamic, with operators like YOU (formerly MTN Yemen), Sabafon, and the state-owned Yemen Mobile. Mobile services are the primary mode of communication for a majority of the population. Internet access is limited, with low penetration rates, and relies on a combination of DSL, mobile data, and satellite, though services can be unreliable and slow. The infrastructure is fragmented, with different entities controlling access in various parts of the country.

Best Times to Call

Considering Yemen is 7 to 8 hours ahead of US Eastern Time (ET):

  • To reach someone during typical Yemeni business hours (generally Saturday to Thursday, around 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM and then perhaps 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM AST. Friday is the main day of rest):
    • When US is on EDT (7 hours behind AST): Call from the US ET zone between approximately 1:00 AM and 6:00 AM ET for morning hours in Yemen, or 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET for their afternoon/evening hours.
    • When US is on EST (8 hours behind AST): Call from the US ET zone between approximately 12:00 AM (midnight) and 5:00 AM ET for morning hours, or 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM ET for their afternoon/evening hours.

It's crucial to be mindful of the significant time difference, the local work week (Friday is the main day of rest), and potential variations in business hours. Early morning calls from the US are generally best to catch morning business hours in Yemen.
