Country code Cyprus, +357 or 00357?

There are two spellings for the Cyprus area code, namely +357 and 00357. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Cyprus and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Cyprus that starts with a “+” (i.e. +357) 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 Cyprus using the +357 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 Cyprus area code with leading zeros (00357) 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 00357

In fact, the 00357 variant is used for calls to Cyprus, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00357 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Cyprus begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011357.

For calls from UK to Cyprus you can always use the country code 00357. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code for Cyprus (+357) works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
