Country code Aruba, +297 or 00297?

There are two spellings for the Aruba area code, namely +297 and 00297. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Aruba and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Aruba that starts with a “+” (i.e. +297) 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 Aruba using the +297 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 Aruba area code with leading zeros (00297) 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 00297

In fact, the 00297 variant applies to calls to Aruba, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00297 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Aruba start with 011. So an international call here starts with the area code 011297.

The international dialing code (+297) of the international country code Aruba works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
