Thanks to Kevin Hopkins for providing the alpha sorted country code list. It is, however, missing the following assigned codes, possibly because they are not dialable by United Kingdom subscribers. Those indicated with an "*" are dialable from the U.S. by AT&T, and Mayotte is dialable by U.S. Sprint. 224 * Guinea 688 Tuvalu (Ellice Islands) 235 Chad 690 Tokelan 238 * Cape Verde 84 Viet Nam 239 Sao Tome and Principe 850 Democratic People's Republic of Korea 240 Equatorial Guinea 855 Khmer Republic 245 Guinea-Bissau 856 Laos 246 Diego Garcia 871 Marisat, Atlantic Ocean 269 x Comoros and Mayotte 872 Marisat, Pacific Ocean 355 Albania 873 Marisat, Indian Ocean 680 Palau 93 Afghanistan 681 Wallis and Futuna 976 Mongolia 683 Niue In addition, two minor typographical errors were found: Numbers on Anguilla are in NXX 497, not 407, and there is only one Ascension Island. I would caution against putting too much emphasis on the NXXs in area code 809; a concerted effort is under way to get seven digit dialing in place on all islands. New codes are being assigned which don't fit into the previous single code per island. For example, St. Kitts now also has 467 numbers. Attached I am reposting the entire numerical country code list from CCITT E.163 (with additions such as Taiwan, which lost 86 to the PRC several years ago and was ex-officio assigned 886). It won't include such things as Madeira and the Canary Islands for the same reason it doesn't include Hawaii or the Channel Islands. Don't hold your breath waiting for the North American Integrated Numbering Area to be split into multiple country codes. The community of interest is too strong to require dialling four additional digits on calls between the possible portions. It is more likely that Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands would get their own area code, leaving more of 809 available for the rest. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. and Canada *only* and are not official.
