Country code Cuba, +53 or 0053?

There are two spellings for the Cuba area code, namely +53 and 0053. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Cuba and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Cuba that starts with a “+” (i.e. +53) 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 Cuba using the +53 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 Cuba area code with leading zeros (0053) 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 0053

In fact, the 0053 variant is used for calls to Cuba, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 0053 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Cuba begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 01153.

The international dialing code for Cuba (+53) works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
