Country code Cook Islands, +682 or 00682?

There are two spellings for the Cook Islands area code, namely +682 and 00682. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Cook Islands and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Cook Islands that starts with a “+” (i.e. +682) 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 the Cook Islands if you use the +682 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 Cook Islands area code with leading zeros (00682) 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 00682

In fact, the 00682 variant is used for calls to the Cook Islands, primarily in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00682 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to the Cook Islands start with 011. So an international call here starts with the area code 011682.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to the Cook Islands you can always use the country code 00682. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+682) of the Cook Islands country code works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
