FAQ

How do I dial an international number from my country?

Replace the leading 0 of the local number with the country code shown here, then add your country's international access prefix in front (00 in most countries, 011 from the US/Canada, or simply the + sign on mobile).

Why do some codes look like '+1-264' instead of just '+1'?

+1 is shared across 25+ countries on the North American Numbering Plan — the US, Canada, the Caribbean, and several territories. The three digits after the dash are the area code that identifies the specific country or territory like Anguilla or Jamaica.

Is + the same as 00?

Functionally yes. The + sign tells your phone to use whatever international access code your carrier expects (usually 00 in Europe, 011 in North America). On mobile, type the + by holding 0 on the keypad. On landlines, replace + with 00 when in doubt.

Can I search by the country's two-letter code?

Yes. Type any ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code like DE for Germany, BR for Brazil, or JP for Japan and the list filters to that match. Useful when you know the airport code or domain extension but not the full country name.

Will SMS use the same code as voice calls?

Yes. The country code in this list is the international subscriber dialing prefix — it works for voice, SMS, WhatsApp registration, and any service that needs an E.164-formatted number (the + version with no spaces or dashes).
