Country code Algeria, +213 or 00213?

There are two spellings for the Algeria area code, namely +213 and 00213. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Algeria and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Algeria that starts with a “+” (i.e. +213) is the so-called international code (international spelling). It is primarily used in the mobile communications sector. Most cell phones can make an international call to Algeria using the +213 area code. This applies to almost every country in the world.

Unfortunately, there are phones (especially older models) that do not support the international spelling. The area code Algeria with leading zeros (00213) is then used on these phones. The leading zeros are also referred to as the so-called traffic elimination number. When you call, they indicate that it is an international call.

Problem: access code and area code 00213

In fact, the 00213 variant is used for calls to Algeria, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00213 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Algeria begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011213.

The international dialing code (+213) for Algeria works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
