Country code Morocco, +212 or 00212?

There are two spellings for the Morocco area code, namely +212 and 00212. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Morocco and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Morocco that starts with a “+” (i.e. +212) 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 Morocco using the +212 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 area code Morocco with leading zeros (00212) 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 00212

In fact, the 00212 variant is used for calls to Morocco, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00212 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Morocco begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011212.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Morocco you can always use the country code 00212. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+212) of the country code Morocco works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
