Country code Angola, +244 or 00244?

There are two spellings for the Angola area code, namely +244 and 00244. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Angola and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Angola that starts with a “+” (i.e. +244) 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 Angola using the +244 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 Angola area code with leading zeros (00244) 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 00244

In fact, the 00244 variant is used for calls to Angola, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00244 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Angola begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011244.

The international variant (+244) of the country code Angola works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
