Frequently asked questions
Which country has the +856 country code?
+856 is the calling code of Laos; no other country uses it.
Is +856 a country code or an area code?
+856 is a country code: it is dialed first to reach Laos 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 856 (Cherry Hill (NJ)): US area codes come after +1, so a number that starts with +856 is an international call, not a US number.
Is 00856 the same as +856?
Yes. +856, 00856 and 00 856 are the same code for Laos: 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 011 856.
How do I call Laos from abroad?
Dial the exit code of the country you are in, then 856, then the local number. From most of Europe and Latin America that is 00 856 20 23 123 456; from the US and Canada, 011 856 20 23 123 456. From a mobile phone, dial +856 20 23 123 456 from anywhere.
