Country code Argentina, +54 or 0054?

There are two spellings for the Argentina area code, namely +54 and 0054. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Argentina and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Argentina that starts with a “+” (i.e. +54) 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 Argentina using the +54 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 Argentina area code with leading zeros (0054) 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 0054

In fact, the 0054 variant is used for calls to Argentina, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 0054 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Argentina begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 01154.

The international dialing code (+54) for Argentina works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
