Country code Gabon, +241 or 00241?

There are two spellings for the Gabon area code, namely +241 and 00241. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Gabon and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Gabon that starts with a “+” (i.e. +241) 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 Gabon if you use the +241 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 Gabon area code with leading zeros (00241) 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 00241

In fact, the 00241 variant applies to calls to Gabon, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00241 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Gabon start with 011. An international call here starts with the area code 011241.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Gabon you can always use the country code 00241. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+241) of the country code Gabon works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
