North American Numbering Plan
The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) is a telephone numbering plan for twenty-five regions in twenty countries, primarily in North America and the Caribbean. This group is historically known as World Zone 1 and has the international calling code ''1''. Some North American countries, most notably Mexico, do not participate in the NANP. The NANP was originally devised in the 1940s by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) for the Bell System and the independent telephone operators in North America. The goal was to unify the diverse local numbering plans that had been established in the preceding decades and prepare the continent for direct-dialing of calls by customers without the involvement of telephone operators. AT&T continued to administer the numbering plan until the breakup of the Bell System, when administration was delegated to the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA), a service that has been procured from the private sector by the Fede ...

International Call Prefix
An international call prefix, international dial-out code or international direct dial code (IDD code) is a trunk prefix that indicates an international phone call. In the dialling sequence, the prefix precedes the country calling code (and, further, the carrier code, if any, and the destination telephone number). The international call prefix is part of the telephone numbering plan of every country. Standardisation The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommends the sequence 00 as a standard for an international call prefix, and this has been implemented by the majority of countries. A significant number of countries, however, use 011 as the international call prefix – mainly countries that follow the North American Numbering Plan. Certain post-Soviet states continue to use 810 which was the universal IDD code across the Soviet Union. Other prefixes (000, 001, 0011, 119, etc.) are also in use in a small number of countries. Some countries require that the 00 pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Telephone Numbers In Australia
The Australian telephone numbering plan describes the allocation of phone numbers in Australia. It has changed many times, the most recent major reorganisation by the Australian Communications & Media Authority taking place between 1994 and 1998. Overview For landline telephony, Australia is now geographically divided into four large areas, three of which cover more than one state and/or territory. All local telephone numbers within these four areas are of eight digits, consisting (mainly) of a four digit exchange code plus a four digit number. The national significant number consists of a single digit area code followed by the local eight digit number – a total of nine digits. Within Australia, to access the number of a landline telephone in an area other than that in which the caller is located (including callers using mobile phones), it is first necessary to dial the Australian trunk code of 0 plus the area code, followed by the local number. Thus, the full national nu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
