Area Code

App Store is not accepting my area code for Roatan, Honduras

The zip code for the Island is 34101 and it is not accepted.

There is no other code though...

That red alert suggests that you are perhaps trying to establish your account in the wrong App Store because it is asking for a postal code that is letters and numbers and according to this link, all of the postal codes for Honduras are strictly numbers.

An area code is for telephones.


A zip/postal code is for a physical address to receive mail.


You are mixing the two in your post, but they are not the same thing,

Yes you are correct Honduras only has numbers, this is why I am contacting you for support...
is there away around this code as we do not have any other codes on the island.

This is a user-to-user forum, not Apple Support. If you want to contact Apple Support, use the "Get Support" link at the top right of every page of these forums.

We know that you already have an Apple ID that functions because you can sign in and use the Apple Support Communities.


However, it appears that you are triggering something as you try to add your billing address that makes the system think that you are adding an address for somewhere else, not in Honduras.
