Country code Turkmenistan, +993 or 00993?

There are two spellings for the Turkmenistan area code, namely +993 and 00993. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Turkmenistan and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Turkmenistan that starts with a “+” (i.e. +993) 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 Turkmenistan using the +993 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 Turkmenistan with leading zeros (00993) 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 00993

In fact, the 00993 variant is used for calls to Turkmenistan, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00993 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Turkmenistan begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 011993.
