Call South Africa from Portugal

When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.

Portugal operates on Western European Time (UTC+0, or UTC+1 during daylight saving from late March to late October), making it ideal to call during their business hours of 9 AM-6 PM, which translates to early morning if you're in the Americas or evening if you're in Asia or Australia. Keep in mind that Portugal follows EU daylight saving rules, so always verify the current time difference during the transition periods in March and October to avoid calling too early or late. When calling South Africa, keep in mind the country operates on South Africa Standard Time (SAST), which is UTC+2 year-round with no daylight saving time changes. The best times to call from most Western countries are early morning or late evening your local time to catch South Africans during their business hours (9 AM-5 PM SAST), and remember that their consistent timezone makes scheduling easier since you won't need to adjust for seasonal time shifts.
