Country code Namibia, +264 or 00264?

There are two spellings for the Namibia area code, namely +264 and 00264. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Namibia and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Namibia that starts with a “+” (i.e. +264) 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 Namibia using the +264 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 Namibia area code with leading zeros (00264) 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 00264

In fact, the 00264 variant is used for calls to Namibia, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00264 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Namibia begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011264.

The international dialing code (+264) for Namibia works in all countries of the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
