Country code Iceland, +354 or 00354?

There are two spellings for the Iceland area code, namely +354 and 00354. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Iceland and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Iceland that starts with a “+” (i.e. +354) 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 Iceland using the +354 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 Iceland area code with leading zeros (00354) 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 00354

In fact, the 00354 variant is used for calls to Iceland, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00354 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Iceland begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011354.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Iceland you can always use the country code 00354. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international (+354) dialing code for Iceland works in all countries around the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
