Calling Iraq: questions

Can I call the Kurdistan Region of Iraq?

Yes. Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok and the rest of the Kurdistan Region use Iraq's country code, +964, and cost the same as the rest of Iraq.

Do I need the person's WhatsApp to call them?

No. DanaTel calls their phone number directly, so it rings like a normal call.

What's the time difference with Iraq?

Iraq is 3 hours ahead of the UK in winter and 2 hours ahead in the UK summer.

Do I need to install an app?

No. DanaTel works in the web browser you already have, on your phone or computer. Sign in, type the number and press Call. On a phone you can add DanaTel to your home screen so it opens like an app, but you don't have to.

How much does it cost?

Each country has a price per minute, shown on our rates page and in the dialer before you call. Some countries also have a small fee per connected call, shown next to the rate. There's no sign-up fee, subscription or monthly charge: you buy credit and it's used as you call.

How is billing calculated?

Calls are billed in 6-second steps: the call length is rounded up to the next 6 seconds, not the next minute, then multiplied by the country's per-minute rate, plus its connection fee if it has one. For example, a call of 2 minutes 3 seconds is billed as 2.1 minutes. The dialer shows the cost so far while you talk.

Are unanswered calls charged?

No. If nobody answers, the line is busy or the call can't connect, you pay nothing, connection fee included.
