Country code Moldova, +373 or 00373?

There are two spellings for the Moldova area code, namely +373 and 00373. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Moldova and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Moldova that starts with a “+” (i.e. +373) 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 Moldova using the +373 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 Moldova area code with leading zeros (00373) 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.

In fact, the 00373 variant applies to calls to Moldova, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00373 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Moldova start with 011. An international call here starts with the area code 011373.
