Country code Niger, +227 or 00227?

There are two spellings for the Niger area code, namely +227 and 00227. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Niger and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Niger that starts with a “+” (i.e. +227) 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 Niger using the +227 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 Niger with leading zeros (00227) 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 00227

In fact, the 00227 variant is used for calls to Niger, primarily in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00227 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Niger begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011227.

The international dialing code (+227) for Niger works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
