INTERNATIONAL DIALING CODES

1 INTERNATIONAL DIALING CODES Disclaimer: South African Airways is not responsible for the accuracy of the information below. Below is a table listing Country Codes, IDD (International Direct Dialing) prefixes, and NDD (National Direct Dialing) prefixes. If you are not familiar with how these are used, please review the definitions below before using the table. Country Code The country code is the national prefix to be used when dialing TO that particular country FROM another country. In some cases you will also need to dial a city or area code. When a country name appears in the table as a link, there will be additional information regarding city or area codes. IDD Prefix (International Direct Dialing) The IDD prefix is the international prefix needed to dial a call FROM the country listed TO another country. This is followed by the country code for the country you are calling (see above). The IDD situation in many countries has been changing regularly. Some countries have multiple IDDs, with each one used by a different long-distance carrier. NDD Prefix (National Direct Dialing) The NDD prefix is the access code used to make a call WITHIN that country from one city to another (when calling another city in the same vicinity, this may not be necessary). The NDD is followed by the city/area code for the place you are calling (city/area codes, where applicable, can be viewed by following the link from the country name on the table below). Phone numbers are often written in this format: +44- ()1224-XXXX-XXXX. This expresses the numbers used for both international and national long-distance calls. In the example, +44 indicates the country code, while () indicates the NDD. When dialing from outside the country, the NDD would not be used after dialing the country code; when dialing from within that country, the NDD would be used, but the country code would not. NOTE: All city/area codes used on this site are expressed for use in international calling; for national calls, prefix the area/city code with the NDD

11 How to call from Country to Country To make a direct international phone call from one country to another, you need to know the following things emphasized in bold: The IDD (International Direct Dialing Number) for the country you are calling from. This is available in the third column on the International Dialing Codes page. For example, the IDD to call from the United States to another country is 11. In the United Kingdom and in many other countries, the IDD is. Other countries have different numbers, or may offer more than one depending on the carrier and type of service. Make sure you have the correct IDD for the country you are calling from. These will be the first numbers dialed, as shown below. The Country Code of the country you are calling. This is shown in the second column on the International Dialing Codes page. Every country has a distinct code, though in some cases it can be shared with other countries. For example, The US, Canada, much of the Caribbean and even Guam use the country code of 1. The Country code is dialed after the IDD and before the area code and phone number, as shown below. The city/area code (if any) for the number you are dialing. Click the country's hyperlink on the International Dialing Codes page. Some smaller countries don't use city/area codes, while larger ones may have hundreds of them. Due to the tremendous growth most nations have experienced in telecommunications devices, codes are changed and added frequently. If the name of the country on the International Dialing Codes page is highlighted as a hyperlink, there may be a list of city/area codes or other information that might help you complete your call. This is the most difficult information on this site to keep up to date, so unfortunately some listings might be incomplete or outdated. While some countries don't use city/area codes, if it is not listed here it may also mean that I don't have the code. Example: Calling from the United Kingdom to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. How to use the International Dialing Codes page. 1. Look up the IDD for the UK >> 2. Look up the Country Code for Brazil. >> 3. Look up the Area Code for Rio -- click the "Brazil" link >> 4. Dial the phone number you are calling. Dialing sequence: XXX-XXXX NOTE: In most hotels, you will need to dial 9, or perhaps another number to obtain an outside line. The sequence is essentially the same when dialing from anywhere, to anywhere.
