Country code Fiji, +679 or 00679?

There are two spellings for the Fiji area code, namely +679 and 00679. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Fiji and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Fiji that starts with a “+” (i.e. +679) is the so-called international dialing code (international spelling). It is primarily used in the mobile communications sector. Most cell phones can make an international call to Fiji using the +679 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 Fiji area code with leading zeros (00679) 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 00679

In fact, the 00679 variant applies to calls to Fiji, primarily in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00679 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Fiji start with 011. So an international call here starts with the area code 011679.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Fiji you can always use the country code 00679. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+679) of the country code Fiji works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
