00855: The ISD Code for Cambodia
The country code 00855 is used for Cambodia. This is the International Subscriber Dialing (ISD) code that you use when making a phone call from one country to another. It's also often referred to as the International Direct Dialing (IDD) code.
How to Use the ISD Code
When dialing a phone number in Cambodia from outside the country, you need to dial:
- The ISD code (00855)
- The area code
- The local phone number
Example:
To call a number in Phnom Penh (area code 23) from the United States, you would dial:
00855 23 [local phone number]
Important Notes:
- The "00" prefix is used for most countries. However, some countries may use a different prefix (like "+").
- Some mobile phone providers might require you to add a specific prefix before the ISD code (e.g., 011).
- The exact dialing instructions might vary depending on your location and mobile phone carrier.
Understanding Country Codes
Country codes are a crucial part of the international telephone system, allowing efficient communication across borders. They help ensure that calls reach the intended recipient in the right country.
By using the correct ISD code, you can connect with anyone in Cambodia easily.
