Cambodia

According to ALLCITYCODES.COM, the area code of Cambodia is +855, which was adopted in 1995 when Cambodia switched to the ITU-T E.164 numbering system. The code is divided into two parts: ‘+’ and ‘855’. The ‘+’ indicates that the number is international and the ‘855’ identifies the country as Cambodia. The most common type of telephone numbers found in Cambodia are mobile numbers, which are nine digits long starting with 6, followed by 8 more digits. Landline numbers have six digits, while VoIP numbers have ten digits starting with 5 or 6, followed by 9 more digits. In addition to these types of telephone numbers, there are also toll-free and premium rate services available in Cambodia which use different formats than standard phone numbers. Toll-free services usually start with 0800 or 0801, while premium rate services usually start with 0900 or 0901. Cambodia has one of the highest mobile phone penetration rates in Southeast Asia and its population is rapidly increasing their use of telecommunication services such as mobile phones, internet access and other technologies due to advances in infrastructure and technology over recent years. As such, it is important for businesses operating within Cambodia to ensure they are using the correct area codes when making calls within the country as well as when communicating with other countries around the world. Cambodia is a multi-party democracy led by the Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has been in power since 1985. The government is made up of the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) and the royalist FUNCINPEC Party. The CPP holds a majority of seats in the National Assembly and dominates all branches of government. Elections are held every five years and are generally considered to be free and fair. In recent years, there has been some concern about the lack of transparency in government decision-making and alleged human rights abuses committed by the security forces. The country faces a number of challenges including poverty, corruption, weak rule of law, limited access to basic services, and environmental degradation. The international community has been supportive of Cambodia’s efforts to address these issues but more needs to be done if Cambodia is to achieve sustainable development in the long term.
