Country code Bolivia, +591 or 00591?

There are two spellings for the area code Bolivia, namely +591 and 00591. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Bolivia and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Bolivia that starts with a “+” (i.e. +591) 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 Bolivia using the +591 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 Bolivia with leading zeros (00591) 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.

In fact, the 00591 variant applies to calls to Bolivia, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00591 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Bolivia begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011591.
