Calling tips

Dial the full number: +971 followed by the area code and number (e.g., +971 4 XXX XXXX for Dubai landlines).
Test your connection before an important call; try a short greeting to confirm audio quality.
Use 8¢/min rates to budget longer conversations; a 30-minute call costs about $2.40.
Call during off-peak hours (early morning UAE, evening Iran) for the best connection stability.

Business etiquette

Confirm the time zone difference with your contact; avoid calling outside business hours (8 AM–6 PM UAE).
For formal calls, identify yourself clearly and state your purpose upfront.
Be respectful of cultural and religious observances; avoid scheduling calls during prayer times or major holidays.
Keep calls focused and concise; both parties benefit from clear, direct communication across borders.
