Tips for clear & uninterrupted calls

Whether you're reaching Oman for business or family, three habits keep every conversation crystal clear and a clean route from TKOS handles the rest.

HD audio for Oman calls
Muscat (Oman) routes benefit from active noise cancellation — local background noise at the Muscat end is less disruptive when your mic is already clean.
Connection quality to Oman
Muscat is ~5,923 km away — expect ~280ms round-trip. A wired ethernet connection keeps packet loss below 0.1%.
Best time to call Muscat
Schedule Oman calls during Muscat business hours — 09:00–17:00 Asia/Muscat — your contact will be at their desk in a quiet space rather than taking the call on the move.
