Country code Nepal, +977 or 00977?

There are two spellings for the Nepal area code, namely +977 and 00977. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Nepal and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Nepal that starts with a “+” (i.e. +977) 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 Nepal using the +977 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 Nepal with leading zeros (00977) 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 00977

In fact, the 00977 variant is used for calls to Nepal, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00977 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Nepal begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011977.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Nepal you can always use the country code 00977. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+977) for Nepal works in all countries of the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
