Country code East Timor, +670 or 00670?

There are two spellings for the East Timor area code, namely +670 and 00670. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for East Timor and what are the different versions for?

The country code of East Timor that starts with a “+” (i.e. +670) 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 East Timor using the +670 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 East Timor with leading zeros (00670) 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 00670

In fact, the 00670 variant applies to calls to East Timor, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00670 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to East Timor start with 011. So an international call here starts with the area code 011670.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to East Timor you can always use the country code 00670. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+670) of the country code East Timor works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
