Dial CodesWhich country is this code? Calling codes in number order
Got a missed call from a number starting with + and digits you do not know? Find the code here. Codes are sorted the way they are dialled: +1, +20, +211 and so on.
Type only the digits after + or 00.
No country uses that code. A code has one to three digits; try fewer digits.
What the table holds
The table has 206 calling codes used by 245 countries and territories: 2 of one digit, 44 of two digits and 160 of three digits. Most codes belong to one country. 12 are shared: +1 by 25 places, +44 by 4 places, +590 by 3 places, +61 by 3 places, +212 by 2 places, +262 by 2 places, +290 by 2 places, +358 by 2 places, +39 by 2 places, +47 by 2 places, +599 by 2 places and +7 by 2 places. In a shared row, the main country is named first and the digits in brackets are the area code that tells a smaller place apart.
The first digit shows the part of the world
Country codes were handed out by world zone, so the first digit after the + already narrows down where a call comes from.

How to read an unknown number
An international number starts with + and the country code, which is one, two or three digits long. No code is the beginning of another code, so only one row can match. For example +971 is the United Arab Emirates, not +97 followed by 1, because +97 alone is not a code.
Be careful with missed calls from abroad
A single ring from an unknown foreign number can be a "missed call" trick: the caller hopes you will ring back a number that charges high rates. If you do not know anyone in that country, you do not need to call back.
