The object of this site is to help you find the primary
routing digits you need to call anywhere in the world. By routing
digits I mean the country code and the city code needed to reach
a certain area of the planet. The following digits (commonly called a phone number) needed to reach a specific
person are not listed here since these are NOT the white pages.
To find specific numbers you could try this site: 555-1212
Concerning the accuracy of this page, I cannot guarantee it completely.
I will update it every time new information comes to my attention; feel free
to send me some if you find any, as about 70% of my informations come from the internet, only reorganized in a way I see more fit for easy use. You can also check my "Confirmations please"
area where all the rumors I've heard of are listed. I would appreciate confirmation
or denial of these rumours with any information that you may have "Send your info here". I may also ask for some info which is
not available to me, but which I'd like to find.
Finally, for any information on upcoming changes in dialing patterns somewhere on the planet,
you can check this site: "The Phone Booth",
which is very accurate and offers many interesting links on the subject. This site
seems to be updated regularly.
The Basics...
Below are some fundamental dialing instructions to follow for international calls:
The first digit after the country code should never be a "0"
when you are dialing to another country (except when calling country code 7 - C.I.S.).
Phone numbers should never include more than 15 digits (including the country code);
before January 1997, numbers actually had a maximum of 12 digits. Up until now, only Germany and Finland have modified their plan to take profit of that new rule.
Don't forget to precede your number with the digits needed to access the international network from your country.
Those international access codes can be found here: International access codes.
Also, since you might not want to wake somebody up, you should check the difference in Time zones between two different areas by checking my java Dual Clocks. There are also two websites with quite detailed informations on time zones, they are: The Navy World Time Zones and Local times around the world.
You could also check the countries page to see details on its time zone.
Countries Available
The listings are formatted following the way a number should be dialed for calls
originating outside a given country. Beside the country's flag, you will see in which time zone the country is situated.
The difference in hours from the GMT (Universal Standard time) and the EST (North American Eastern Standard Time) are given.
The country code is positioned right beside the country's name
and all the city/area codes are listed below it in alphabetical order. You may also find links particular to that country concerning
its geographical and political situation. To see a continents complete map, click on its name below.
