[Moderator's Note: I was going to run this as a special edition this
weekend, but there was enough space left over in this issue that I
decided to send it through normal distribution. If you save it, please
delete *last year's* version, and substitute this one.   PT]


Patrick,

    Here is an updated version of the country code list submitted
to Telecom Digest last year by Mike Grant.  I've checked it against
AT&T's International Telecommunications booklet, MCI's wallet card,
and some other sources I found.

Here you go.  I haven't really updated it since last year, but I don't
think much has changed.  Some eastern-block countries were added, but
I don't know their codes yet.  When I say grepable, I mean that all
things concerning a country are on a single line.  I have a program
which parses this file and breaks things up into the way I think I
posted it to telecom, but it's real messy, so I hesatate to give out
because I don't really want to support it if it breaks.

A * means no city-code required.  All-Points xx, means that you have
to use the city-code xx for everywhere in that country.  The + is just
the way people have been writing int'l numbers.  In this country it
expands to 011-.  I hope this is what you're looking for.  If you find
any errors or know any more, please let me know.

-Mike

The format for an int'l phone number is + country-code city-code
local-number The + is just the way people have been writing int'l
numbers.  In the USA + expands to 011.  In much of Europe + expands to
00.  in UK 010, France 19 wait for dial tone, etc.  When dialing into
many European countries you must strip the leading zero from the
city-code.  A * means no city-code required.  All-Points xx, means
that you have to use the city-code xx for everywhere in that country.

France has changed the way that they write the numbers so that outside
of the Paris region, the entire eight-digit number is considered to be
the local number, e.g. a number in Nice that used to be (93) 22-33-44
is now written 93-22-33-44, and there's no city code.  From outside
France they are dialed the same way, as before.  Numbers inside the
Paris region are (1) 44-55-66-77, you dial the 1 from outside the
country.

>Guadaloupe            +590; All Points *

St. Barts and the French part of St. Martin are admistratively part of
Guadeloupe, and I believe that they share its code 590.

>Guantanamo Bay		+53; All Points 99

The country code for all of Cuba is 53.  I realize that it's not dialable
from the U.S. except via a 700 number in Florida that rarely works.  Can
you dial, say, Havana from other places via +53 1 234567 or some such?

Patrick,

    I compare the list of Chris Johnston, which he obtained using the
list supplied by Mike Grant, with our coutry code list showing the
following differences and updates. Here are the results:

I found the following deviation (mostly spelling differences and
adding of some cities):

> Antigua		+1; All Points 809
Antigua and Barbuda	+1; All Points 809

> Aruba			+297; All Points *
Aruba			+297; All Points 8

Guadaloupe incl. S. Martin	+590; All Points *

Hmm, are we talking about the same S. Martin ?  I know the French and
the Dutch share this island (and use a different country code), but is
there another S. Martin ??

Yemen (North)		+967; Taiz 4

> Zambia		+260;
Zambia			+260; Lusaka 1; Mdola 2

Besides the above differences our telephone book contained these
coutries which were not given in the original list:

American Virgin Is	+1; All Points 809
Angola			+244; Luanda 2
Reunion			+262; All Points *

 From Danile O'Callagham (University of Melbourne) I have got these codes:

Solomon Is		+677
Palau Is		+689
Cook Is			+682
Western Samoa		+685
Christmas Is, Cocos Is, Norfolk Is	+672


Just out of curiosity I called the telephone information number
(which is 008 in the Netherlands) and asked the lady whether they also
supply country codes. She answered: "Of course, which countries do you
want to know ?".  After unsuccesfull attempts of two of the countries
below she stated that she did not have the numbers of these countries
and gave a special number instead (which is 06-0418).  

The reason is that these countries cannot be dialed directly (no
automatic calls) but calls to these countries should be requested on a
special number (which is 06-0410). The lady on the special foreign
telephone numbers could supply me some country codes (note that this
is the situation from the Netherlands, the `via' means that when
asking for a telephone connection to the involved country the Dutch
operator has to call this country/city):

Albania			unknown, calls go via Rome, Italy
Burma			+95
Falkland		+500 (?); calls go via London, UK
Jemen (South)		unknown, calls go via London, UK
Korea (North)		+862
Lebanon			+961
Mongolia		unknown, calls go via USSR
Syria			+963
Vietnam			+84
