Telephoning notes: You may notice that Cambodian telephone numbers begin with a '0' (e.g. 034-000000) When dialing domestically, it is usually necessary to dial the '0' at the beginning. When dialing from outside Cambodia to a Cambodian telephone number, you must use the country code but exclude the '0' at the beginning (e.g. 855-34-000000). When dialing internationally from Cambodia, you must precede the number with '001' or '007'.
