Frequently asked questions
Which country has the +218 country code?
+218 is the calling code of Libya; no other country uses it.
Is +218 a country code or an area code?
+218 is a country code: it is dialed first to reach Libya from another country. Area codes come after the country code and only pick a region inside the country. Don't confuse it with US area code 218 (Duluth (MN)): US area codes come after +1, so a number that starts with +218 is an international call, not a US number.
Is 00218 the same as +218?
Yes. +218, 00218 and 00 218 are the same code for Libya: 00 is the exit code dialed from a landline in most countries, and + replaces it on a mobile. From the US and Canada the exit code is 011, so it becomes 011 218.
