Country code Nicaragua, +505 or 00505?

There are two spellings for the Nicaragua area code, namely +505 and 00505. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Nicaragua and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Nicaragua that starts with a “+” (i.e. +505) 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 Nicaragua using the +505 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 Nicaragua with leading zeros (00505) 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 00505

In fact, the 00505 variant applies to calls to Nicaragua, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00505 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Nicaragua start with 011. An international call here starts with the area code 011505.
