Country code Togo, +228 or 00228?

There are two spellings for the Togo area code, namely +228 and 00228. Which area code do you have to use? How do the two country codes for Togo differ from each other and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Togo that starts with a “+” (i.e. +228) 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 Togo if you use the +228 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 Togo with leading zeros (00228) 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 00228

In fact, the 00228 variant applies to calls to Togo, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00228 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Togo begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011228.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Togo you can always use the country code 00228. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international variant (+228) of the country code Togo works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
