Country code Bangladesh, +880 or 00880?

There are two spellings for the Bangladesh area code, namely +880 and 00880. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Bangladesh and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Bangladesh that starts with a “+” (i.e. +880) 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 Bangladesh using the +880 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 Bangladesh area code with leading zeros (00880) 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 00880

In fact, the 00880 variant is used for calls to Bangladesh, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00880 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Bangladesh start with 011. So an international call here starts with the area code 011880.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Bangladesh you can always use the country code 00880. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+880) of the country code Bangladesh works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
