Country code Lithuania, +370 or 00370?

There are two spellings for the Lithuania area code, namely +370 and 00370. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Lithuania and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Lithuania that starts with a “+” (i.e. +370) 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 Lithuania using the +370 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 Lithuania area code with leading zeros (00370) 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 00370

In fact, the 00370 variant is mostly used for calls to Lithuania in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00370 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Lithuania begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011370.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Lithuania you can always use the country code 00370. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+370) for Lithuania works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
