I just received British Telecom's latest international phone guide. A
new feature in this is descriptions of the tones used in each country
for ringing and engaged. Having merged this with my country codes
list, I thought that readers might be interested.
A few notes:
BT list two country codes I haven't seen before:
905 Turkish Cyprus
290 St. Helena
Six countries which are not directly diallable from the UK (and so no
country code is given) are not listed in the last table of country
codes I took from the Digest. Does anyone know their country codes ?
Antarctica Australian Territory
Chatham Islands
Midway Island
Pitcairn Islands
Tristan da Cunha
Wake Island
In v10i763, Jim Rees asks for the shortest world-wide unique number.
The guide gives the lengths of numbers for some countries. St. Helena
(290) has three digit numbers! Country codes 247, 674, 678, and 680
have four digit numbers.
Here is the up-to-date list. Lines beginning with # are comments.
Lines beginning with + are continuation lines, and repeat the code and
tone info.
# Tone codes (first is ring, second is engaged):
# A: double ring, repeated regularly (UK ringing tone)
# B: equal length on/off tones - about 1Hz (UK & USA engaged tone)
# C: slow equal length on/off tones
# D: fast equal length on/off tones - 2Hz to 3Hz
# E: tones separated by long pauses (USA ringing tone)
# F: long tones separated by short pauses

> BT list two country codes I haven't seen before: > 905 Turkish Cyprus This is not a country code. There is no such country as Turkish Cyprus. I assume BT refers to the Turkish occupied area of Cyprus (Cyprus has country code of 357). Country code 90 is Turkey, they are just advertising (for political reasons) how to reach a certain area of the teritory they control. Spyros Bartsocas scb@cs.brown.edu

The code refered to get you to the area that designates itself "The Turkish Republic of Northern Cypres". This may not be widely recognised as a country, but that is how it considers itself, so to say there is no such country is a bias statement: after all, Iraq does recognise the existance of Kuwait!
