# Telnyx expands local voice coverage to Egypt, Iraq, and Qatar

### 10, Jun 2026

We have expanded our two-way local voice coverage by adding three new hard-to-get destinations in the Middle East. This is a major expansion in supporting our sales efforts across the region.

We have now reached 93 countries with local calling capabilities, maintaining our position as the provider with the widest coverage globally.

The new destinations now available with local calling are:

| Country | Number Type |
| ------- | ----------- |
| Egypt   | Landlines   |
| Iraq    | Landlines   |
| Qatar   | National    |

Numbers are available in our stock and reachable via MCP.

### How to get started with international numbers and local calling

Telnyx users can buy international phone numbers in the [Mission Control Portal](https://portal.telnyx.com/) or programmatically through our [phone numbers documentation](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/numbers/phone-numbers).
