Phone number format

Egypt mobile numbers are written locally as 010 1234 5678 and internationally as +201012345678. The leading 0 is a national prefix: we drop it when we add +20, so local-format numbers work if you also send the country.

Data protection

Personal data in Egypt is governed by the Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020. Phone verification stores only a salted hash of each code; check your own obligations as the data controller.
