Country code Ecuador, +593 or 00593?

There are two spellings for the Ecuador area code, namely +593 and 00593. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Ecuador and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Ecuador that begins with a “+” (i.e. +593) 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 Ecuador using the +593 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 Ecuador area code with leading zeros (00593) 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 00593

In fact, the 00593 variant is used for calls to Ecuador, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00593 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Ecuador begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011593.

The international dialing code for Ecuador (+593) works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
