Country code Brunei, +673 or 00673?

There are two spellings for the Brunei area code, namely +673 and 00673. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Brunei and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Brunei that starts with a “+” (i.e. +673) 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 Brunei if you use the +673 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 Brunei area code with leading zeros (00673) 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 00673

In fact, the 00673 variant applies to calls to Brunei, primarily in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00673 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Brunei start with 011. An international call here starts with the area code 011673.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Brunei you can always use the country code 00673. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international (+673) dialing code for Brunei works in all countries around the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
