Country code Nauru, +674 or 00674?
There are two spellings for the Nauru area code, namely +674 and 00674. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Nauru and what are the different versions for?
The country code of Nauru that starts with a “+” (i.e. +674) 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 Nauru using the +674 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 Nauru area code with leading zeros (00674) 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 00674
In fact, the 00674 variant is used for calls to Nauru, primarily in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00674 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Nauru begin with 011. So an international call here begins with the area code 011674.
Conclusion
For calls from UK to Nauru you can always use the country code 00674. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code for Nauru (+674) works in all countries of the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
