Every Lao mobile lives behind the single 020 code regardless of carrier, so the trunk zero plus 20 is what you drop when dialing +856 20 from abroad. Landline area codes like 021 for Vientiane shed their zero the same way, and 00 gets you out of the country.

Mobiles all sit on the 020 prefix followed by eight digits; landlines pair a 02x area code with six digits.
