This is a

ITU-T recommendation

In depth
Zone 1 – North American Numbering Plan Area
Areas within
NANPA (North American Numbering Plan Area) are assigned
area codes as if they were all areas within one country.
The codes below in format +1-XXX represent area code XXX within the +1 NANPA zone — not a separate country code. For example, the dialing code for Guam is +1 (the NANPA country code) followed by the area code 671 — not +671 or +1671.
Zone 2 – Mostly Africa, some Atlantic islands
Originally larger countries (e.g. France) were assigned two digit codes (to compensate for their usually longer domestic numbers) and small countries (e.g. Iceland) were assigned three digit codes; however since the 1980s all new assignments have been three digit regardless of countries’ sizes.
Zone 7 – Russia and Kazakhstan (former Soviet Union)
Zone 8 – East Asia and Special Services
Zone 0 – unassigned
Locations with no country code
- Western Sahara (Moroccan-controlled locations use 212)
- Somaliland (A de facto independent location uses 252)
- Antarctica--McMurdo Base, Amundsen-Scott Base, others (Dialing is dependent on parent country of each base.)
- Pitcairn Island (no connections to local switching; only satellite phones are dialable)
- Kerguelen Archipelago (no permanent local switches)
History
CCITT, the predecessor of the
ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T), developed the first formal list of telephone country codes. This list was included in the
1964 CCITT Blue Book, among other international telecommunication recommendations, which would eventually become
ITU-T recommendation
E.164.
An earlier system of country codes for European use was mentioned in the
1960 CCITT Red Book. Some of these country codes were retained in the CCITT country code assignments and remain in effect (e.g. France +33, United Kingdom +44).
For further details on country code history and development, see
