Country code Guyana, +592 or 00592?
There are two spellings for the Guyana area code, namely +592 and 00592. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Guyana and what are the different versions for?
The country code of Guyana that starts with a “+” (i.e. +592) 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 Guyana using the +592 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 Guyana with leading zeros (00592) 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 00592
In fact, the 00592 variant is used for calls to Guyana, primarily in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00592 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Guyana start with 011. So an international call here starts with the area code 011592.
Conclusion
For calls from UK to Guyana you can always use the country code 00592. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code for Guyana (+592) works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
