Country code Denmark, +45 or 0045?

There are two spellings for the Denmark area code, namely +45 and 0045. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Denmark and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Denmark that starts with a “+” (i.e. +45) 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 Denmark if you use the +45 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 Denmark area code with leading zeros (0045) 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 0045

In fact, the 0045 variant is used for calls to Denmark, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 0045 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Denmark begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 01145.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Denmark you can always use the country code 0045. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international (+45) dialing code for Denmark works in all countries around the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
