INTERNATIONAL DIALING CODES
Disclaimer: South African Airways is not responsible for the accuracy of the
information below.
Below is a
table
listing
Country Codes
,
IDD (International Direct Dialing)
prefixes
, and
NDD (National Direct Dialing) prefixes
. If you are not familiar
with how these are used,
please review the definitions below before using the
table
.
Country Code
The
country code
is the national prefix to be used when dialing
TO
that particular
country
FROM
another country. In some cases you will also need to dial a
city or area
code
. When a country name appears in the table as a link, there will be additional
information regarding city or area codes.
IDD Prefix (International Direct Dialing)
The
IDD prefix
is the international prefix needed to dial a call
FROM
the country listed
TO
another country. This is followed by the country code for the country you are calling
(see above). The IDD situation in many countries has been changing regularly. Some
countries have multiple IDDs, with each one used by a different long-distance carrier.
NDD Prefix (National Direct Dialing)
The
NDD prefix
is the access code used to make a call WITHIN that country from one
city to another (when calling another city in the same vicinity, this may not be
necessary). The NDD is followed by the city/area code for the place you are calling
(city/area codes, where applicable, can be viewed by following the link from the country
name on the table below). Phone numbers are often written in this format:
+44-(0)1224-XXXX-XXXX. This expresses the numbers used for both international and
national long-distance calls. In the example, +44 indicates the country code, while (0)
indicates the NDD. When dialing from outside the country, the NDD would not be used
after dialing the country code; when dialing from within that country, the NDD would be
used, but the country code would not. NOTE: All city/area codes used on this site
are expressed for use in international calling; for national calls, prefix the
area/city code with the NDD

NOTES:
* These countries are part of the North America Numbering Plan (NANP), though they may be far removed from North America (and Mexico is not included). The country code for all NANP countries is 1; the numbers that follow are used as area codes in the U.S. and Canada and function similarly in other NANP areas.
How to call from Country to Country
To make a direct international phone call from one country to another, you need to know the following things emphasized in bold:
The IDD (International Direct Dialing Number) for the country you are calling from. This is available in the third column on theInternational Dialing Codes page.
For example, the IDD to call from the United States to another country is 011. In the United Kingdom and in many other countries, the IDD is 00. Other countries have different numbers, or may offer more than one depending on the carrier and type of service. Make sure you have the correct IDD for the country you are calling from. These will be the first numbers dialed, as shown below.
The Country Code of the country you are calling. This is shown in the second column on theInternational Dialing Codes page.
Every country has a distinct code, though in some cases it can be shared with other countries. For example, The US, Canada, much of the Caribbean and even Guam use the country code of 1. The Country code is dialed after the IDD and before the area code and phone number, as shown below.
The city/area code (if any) for the number you are dialing. Click the country's hyperlink on theInternational Dialing Codes page.
Some smaller countries don't use city/area codes, while larger ones may have hundreds of them. Due to the tremendous growth most nations have experienced in telecommunications devices, codes are changed and added frequently. If the name of the country on the International Dialing Codes page is highlighted as a hyperlink, there may be a list of city/area codes or other
information that might help you complete your call. This is the most difficult information on this site to keep up to date, so unfortunately some listings might be incomplete or outdated. While some countries don't use city/area codes, if it is not listed here it may also mean that I don't have the code.
Example: Calling from the United Kingdom to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. How to use the
International Dialing Codes page.
1. Look up the IDD for
the UK >>
2. Look up the
Country Code
for Brazil.
>>
3. Look up the Area Code for Rio -- click the "Brazil" link
>>
4. Dial the phone number you are
calling.
Dialing sequence:
00
+
55

21

XXX-XXXX
NOTE: In most hotels, you will need to dial 9, 0 or perhaps another number to obtain an outside line.
The sequence is essentially the same when dialing from anywhere, to anywhere.
