Country code Cambodia, +855 or 00855?

There are two spellings for the Cambodia area code, namely +855 and 00855. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Cambodia and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Cambodia that starts with a “+” (i.e. +855) 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 Cambodia using the +855 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 Cambodia area code with leading zeros (00855) 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 00855

In fact, the 00855 variant is used for calls to Cambodia, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00855 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Cambodia begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011855.

The international dialing code (+855) of the country code Cambodia works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
