There are two spellings for the Macedonia area code, namely +389 and 00389. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Macedonia and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Macedonia that starts with a “+” (i.e. +389) 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 Macedonia using the +389 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 Macedonia with leading zeros (00389) 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.
