Country code Bhutan, +975 or 00975?

There are two spellings for the area code Bhutan, namely +975 and 00975. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Bhutan and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Bhutan that starts with a “+” (i.e. +975) 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 Bhutan using the +975 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 Bhutan with leading zeros (00975) 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 00975

In fact, the 00975 variant applies to calls to Bhutan, primarily in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00975 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Bhutan begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011975.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Bhutan you can always use the country code 00975. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+975) of the country code Bhutan works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
