Country code Kosovo, +383 or 00383?

There are two spellings for the Kosovo area code, namely +383 and 00383. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Kosovo and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Kosovo that starts with a “+” (i.e. +383) 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 Kosovo using the +383 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 Kosovo area code with leading zeros (00383) 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 00383

In fact, the 00383 variant applies to calls to Kosovo, primarily in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00383 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Kosovo begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011383.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Kosovo you can always use the country code 00383. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+383) for Kosovo works in all countries of the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
