- Early morning (08:00–09:00 Gambia time) connects to Italy around midday, a good window for business calls.
- Use a browser-based dialer to avoid roaming charges if you're traveling.
Business etiquette
- Greet in Italian if possible; Italians appreciate courtesy in their language.
- Keep calls brief during business hours unless a longer conversation was arranged.
- For formal calls, use 'Lei' (formal you) rather than 'tu' (informal you).
- Lunch hours (12:00–14:00 Italy time) may be less ideal for reaching offices.
