Country code Palestinian Territories, +970 or 00970?

There are two spellings for the Palestinian Territories area code, namely +970 and 00970. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for the Palestinian Territories and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Palestinian Territories that starts with a “+” (i.e. +970) 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 the Palestinian Territories when you use the +970 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 prefix Palestinian Territories with leading zeros (00970) 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.
