Country Codes 20 December 1991
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
International dialing uses country codes from 1 to 3 digits. These are
|
|||
|
|
grouped (usually) according to geographic location. Not all countries can
|
|||
|
|
dial direct to all other overseas codes, but these are the codes by which
|
|||
|
|
a country's telephone network is recognised.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When listing a telephone number in international correspondence, one format
|
|||
|
|
often used lists the country code followed by the area code and local number
|
|||
|
|
digits required to complete the call. For instance, the number (400) 012.3456
|
|||
|
|
in North America would be listed as "+ 1 400 012 3456". The overseas dialing
|
|||
|
|
code would be used then the digits after the "+".
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Example: "+44 71 967 1111" would be dialed from North America as
|
|||
|
|
011 + 44 71 967 1111.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Codes marked with '%' mean that this is a country not dialable from
|
|||
|
|
Canada as of March 1990.

|
|
|||
|
|
Mexico locations with former Zone 1 style area codes (706, 903, 905)
|
|||
|
|
are generally out of service by now. This was only a rigged-up system
|
|||
|
|
to allow dialing to Mexico City and Northwest Mexico from U.S. or Canadian
|
|||
|
|
phones. These are not official (were in use within the U.S. and Canada
|
|||
|
|
*only*) and are now replaced with the overseas dialing system (country code 52).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[1] Trinidad and Tobago has been assigned code 296. The date when this
|
|||
|
|
country code will take effect is unknown.

[2] Zanzibar is routed via Tanzania as + 255 54, though the
|
|||
|
|
country code 259 is assigned for Zanzibar.
|
|||
|
|
[3] St Helena is a code found in service under British Telecom.
|
|||
|
|
It may not be an official assignment much as it would be a
|
|||
|
|
hack used by BT to provide overseas service to that point.
|

|
|
[4] San Marino will be split from Italy's country code (was 39).
|

|
|
[5] Trinidad and Tobago are new with country code 296, moving out of
|
|||
|
|
North American area code 809 (ie. + 1 809). The date when this

country code takes effect is unknown.

of the Netherlands Antilles 1st January 1986.

[8] Greenland (country code 299) is supposed to be in the part of the world
|
|||
|
|
where country codes begin with 3 or 4 (Europe). However, since all those
|
|||
|
|
codes are used up, 299 is as close to 3 or 4 as possible. Country codes
|
|||
|
|
beginning with 5 are also all gone.

[19] 874 is a new assignment as INMARSAT is putting a fourth satellite
|
|||
|
|
into service, and adjusting its zones accordingly. This is to
|
|||
|
|
allow for new land-based services on the INMARSAT network, particularly
|
|||
|
|
in North America. 874 will become Atlantic Ocean Region West, while
|
|||
|
|
871 will be for Atlantic Ocean Region East.
|
|||
|
|
[20] Reserved for national mobile/maritime uses in various countries
|
|||
|
|
[21] By CCITT policy, no more country codes of the 880-889 series are
|
|||
|
|
supposed to be assigned until all other country codes beginning
|
|||
|
|
with 8 have been taken. 886 for Taiwan is an unofficial code used
|
|||
|
|
for access to Taiwan. The "People's" Republic of China, on the
|
|||
|
|
other hand, has assigned Taiwan access via country code 866
|
|||
|
|
(presumably + 86 6, through China).
|
|||
|
|
[22] There is some discussion in CCITT circles that the 800 country
|
|||
|
|
code could be established as an international-access toll free
|
|||
|
|
service. This is subject to a formal proposal and CCITT approval,
|
|||
|
|
however.

[23] with the unification of the Yemen republics, it appears that this
|
|||
|
|
country code will no longer be needed, as 967 Yemen Arab Republic
|
|||
|
|
code will likely take over. In the meantime, the dialing procedures
|
|||
|
|
remain as if Yemen were still separate countries, at least until
|
|||
|
|
the telephone system can be unified.
|
|||
|
|

No country codes begin with '0'.

(6) Country Codes...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There would be 197 assigned country codes, with 8 codes reserved (210, 211,
|
|||
|
|
214, 215, 217, 219, 878, 879). 77 more standard country codes can be assigned
|
|||
|
|
(assuming that 2 digit codes aren't split up into 3 digit codes, etc), not
|
|||
|
|
including the 4 unassigned/unknown mobile/marisat codes in the 87x series.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Approximately 21 country codes are not dialable from Canada as of
|
|||
|
|
December 1991 (including any country codes yet to be placed into service
|
|||
|
|
like Trinidad & Tobago). The most recent to be in service from Canada
|
|||
|
|
are 224 Guinea, 231 Liberia and 232 Sierra Leone. 355 Albania was recently
|
|||
|
|
made available for dialing, the result of reforms in that country. Romania
|
|||
|
|
(40) seemed to have been active for some time, but is presently
|
|||
|
|
unavailable as a dialable country. Also recently added were 233 Ghana,
|
|||
|
|
253 Djibouti, 258 Mozambique, 264 Namibia, and 95 Myanmar (Burma).
|
|||
|
|
There are signs that 296 Trinidad and Tobago may be placed into service
|
|||
|
|
soon from Canada. From a payphone, it cost $16.30 (in March 1991) for
|
|||
|
|
a 3-minute call to Myanmar/Burma from Canada. Ghana is a relative
|
|||
|
|
bargain at $7.95 for 3 minutes. Don't even think of trying to use
|
|||
|
|
coins for an Inmarsat call ($36 or more for the three minutes).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Thanks go to those who discussed the country codes on Telecom Digest,
|
|||
|
|
a service avaialable through Usenet and other places. In particular,
|
|||
|
|
information from John Covert, Mike Grant, Dolf Grunbauer, John Levine,
|
|||
|
|
Chris Johnston and undoubtedly others of this newsgroup has been helpful
|
|||
|
|
in the updating of this list.
