Country code Croatia, +385 or 00385?

There are two spellings for the area code Croatia, namely +385 and 00385. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Croatia and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Croatia that starts with a “+” (i.e. +385) 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 Croatia using the +385 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 Croatia with leading zeros (00385) 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 00385

In fact, the 00385 variant is used for calls to Croatia, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00385 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Croatia begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011385.

The international (+385) dialing code for Croatia works in all countries of the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
