Country code Mali, +223 or 00223?

There are two spellings for the Mali area code, namely +223 and 00223. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Mali and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Mali that starts with a “+” (i.e. +223) 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 Mali using the +223 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 Mali with leading zeros (00223) 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 00223

In fact, the 00223 variant applies to calls to Mali, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00223 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Mali begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011223.
