Country code Isle of Man, +44 or 0044?

There are two spellings for the Isle of Man area code, namely +44 and 0044. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Isle of Man and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Isle of Man that starts with a “+” (i.e. +44) is the so-called international code (international spelling). It is primarily used in the mobile communications sector. Most mobile phones can make an international call to the Isle of Man if you use the +44 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 Isle of Man area code with leading zeros (0044) 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.
