Asking for contact information
Contexte culturel
Latvians are often private. It's polite to explain *why* you need the number before asking for it. Exchanging business cards (vizītkartes) is still common, but many now just swap numbers on WhatsApp. Latvia has some of the fastest internet in the world; asking for a number often implies you'll be using data-based apps. Latvian mobile numbers are 8 digits long and start with '2'.
The '2' Rule
If the number doesn't start with '2', it's likely not a mobile phone.
Text First
Many Latvians prefer a text message before a phone call from an unknown number.
