AT&T is expanding direct dial service to an additional twelve countries effective 15 October 1990: 222 Mauritania 242 Congo 257 Burundi 258 Mozambique 261 Madagascar 269 Comoros and Mayotte * 355 Albania 674 Nauru * 677 Solomon Islands * 682 Cook Islands 963 Syria 975 Bhutan * U.S. Sprint has had direct dial service to these three countries for some time, but it did not usually work except for customers with direct Sprint circuits, since Sprint had never told Bellcore to send routing guide updates to the local phone companies. Recently, the local routing guide from Bellcore was updated to direct local switches to route all assigned country codes to the L.D. carrier of choice without regard to whether that location has direct dial service or not. In addition, COMSAT has opened 874 as "Atlantic West". Apparently most of this satellite's footprint overlaps 871, but they seem to have decided to split out the code. The following countries remain non-dialable from the U.S.: 235 Chad 236 Central African Republic 239 Sao Tome and Principe 240 Equatorial Guinea 244 Angola 245 Guinea-Bissau 246 Diego Garcia 249 Sudan 252 Somalia 500 Falkland Islands 53 Cuba (only the U.S. base at Guantanamo, 5399, is dialable from the U.S. Guantanamo is not dialable from other countries which can call Cuba, such as Canada.) 672 Australian External Territories (Norfolk Island, etc.) 678 Vanuatu (New Hebrides) 680 Palau 681 Wallis and Futuna 683 Niue 688 Tuvalu (Ellice Islands) 690 Tokelau 84 Viet Nam 850 Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North) 855 Kampuchea (Cambodia) 856 Laos 93 Afghanistan 961 Lebanon 969 Yemen (Aden) (now united with Y.A.R., code probably retired) 976 Mongolia And finally, the following complete list of all assigned country codes (whether diallable or not) created from the official CCITT Recommendation E.163 is updated to include INMARSAT 874: World Numbering Zone 1 (Integrated Numbering Area) 1 Canada, USA including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Barbados, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Bahamas, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Christopher and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines (Bequia, Mustique, Prune (Palm) Island, Union Island), Trinidad and Tobago* Note: Mexico locations with Zone 1 style area codes are a hack for use from the U.S. *only* and will be removed February 1991. *Trinidad and Tobago has been assigned code 296.
