Country code Belize, +501 or 00501?

There are two spellings for the Belize area code, namely +501 and 00501. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Belize and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Belize that starts with a “+” (i.e. +501) 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 Belize using the +501 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 Belize area code with leading zeros (00501) 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 00501

In fact, the 00501 variant is mostly used for calls to Belize in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00501 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Belize start with 011. So an international call here starts with the area code 011501.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Belize you can always use the country code 00501. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code for Belize (+501) works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
