Country code Ukraine, +380 or 00380?

There are two spellings for the Ukraine area code, namely +380 and 00380. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Ukraine and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Ukraine that starts with a “+” (i.e. +380) 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 Ukraine using the +380 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 Ukraine with leading zeros (00380) 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 00380

In fact, the 00380 variant is used for calls to Ukraine, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00380 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Ukraine begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011380.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Ukraine you can always use the country code 00380. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+380) for Ukraine works in all countries of the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
