Country code Slovenia, +386 or 00386?

There are two spellings for the Slovenia area code, namely +386 and 00386. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Slovenia and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Slovenia that starts with a “+” (i.e. +386) 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 Slovenia using the +386 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 Slovenia area code with leading zeros (00386) 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 00386

In fact, the 00386 variant is used for calls to Slovenia, primarily in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00386 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Slovenia begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011386.

For calls from UK to Slovenia you can always use the country code 00386. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code for Slovenia (+386) works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
