Voice Call Compliance in Jordan
A practical overview of the rules that affect voice call messaging and marketing in Jordan, with a checklist before you launch.
Key Rules for Voice Calls in Jordan
Voice marketing in Jordan should be consent-based and scheduled at reasonable hours, following TRC and operator requirements.
Telemarketing in the region is increasingly regulated, with rules on calling hours, registered numbers and do-not-call preferences in several countries.
Data Protection
Jordan's Personal Data Protection Law No. 24 of 2023 introduces consent, transparency and data subject rights that apply to websites and marketing lists.
Keep a record of how each contact was collected, what they agreed to and when, and make it easy for them to withdraw consent.
Practical Checklist
- Check whether the call is promotional or a service call, as the rules differ.
- Use permitted calling numbers and caller ID, and never hide or spoof the calling number.
- Screen numbers against any national do-not-call register before promotional campaigns.
- Call only within permitted hours in the recipient's time zone and keep recorded messages short.
- Offer an easy way to stop further calls and record call consent where required.
Contact data
Format numbers in international E.164 format with the +962 country code, remove duplicates and invalid numbers, and keep consent records linked to each number.
Timing and Language
Jordan follows the Asia/Amman time zone (UTC+03:00 in October 2026). The usual working week is Sunday to Thursday. Schedule voice call campaigns for the recipient's local daytime hours, avoid public holidays and religious observances that matter to your audience, and convert send times from IST before scheduling.
In Amman, customers commonly use Arabic and English. Messages in the customer's preferred language usually perform better, but check how local-language text affects character counts (for SMS) and template approval (for WhatsApp).
Digital Habits and Channels in Jordan
Jordan has high mobile internet use, and WhatsApp and Facebook are the main channels for reaching customers. Business SMS sender IDs are registered through the operators, Zain, Orange and Umniah.
Cash and cards are common, and the CliQ instant payment system and e-wallets are growing. The weekend is Friday and Saturday. Ramadan, Eid and the summer return of Jordanians working abroad shape demand.
Jordan's economy relies on services, tourism to Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea, phosphate and potash exports, pharmaceuticals, a strong IT outsourcing sector in Amman and remittances from Jordanians working in the Gulf. The general sales tax is 16%, and prices are in Jordanian dinars. The Personal Data Protection Law No. 24 of 2023, in force since March 2024, requires a legal basis such as consent for processing personal data, including for marketing, and the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) licenses telecom and messaging services.
Advertising Alongside Messaging
Advertising should follow Jordanian consumer protection rules and platform policies, with sensitivity to cultural norms.
