Country code Vanuatu, +678 or 00678?

There are two spellings for the Vanuatu area code, namely +678 and 00678. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Vanuatu and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Vanuatu that starts with a “+” (i.e. +678) 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 Vanuatu using the +678 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 Vanuatu area code with leading zeros (00678) 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 00678

In fact, the 00678 variant applies to calls to Vanuatu, primarily in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 00678 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Vanuatu start with 011. An international call here starts with the area code 011678.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Vanuatu you can always use the country code 00678. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+678) for Vanuatu works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
