List of international call prefixes

From Freepedia

(Redirected from International access code)

Each country has both a country calling code used to dial into a country, and an international access code or international call prefix used to dial out of the country. The ITU approved 00 as the general standard some time ago, and this has been implemented by a large number of countries, but not all. This page lists the exceptions.

International phone numbers are usually written with a + before the phone number, and some phones allow this to be entered directly, often with two consecutive presses of the * key. This avoids having to know the international call prefix.

Many states still provide alternative dialing arrangements for calls to neighbouring countries.

Note: ‘~’ means "await a second tone at this stage before continuing".

994 (Song)
99500 (Cubio)

- Finland, where to encourage competition between international telephone carriers, a system of prefixes beginning with 99 was introduced in addition to the 00 prefix. For example, if the subscriber dials 990-1-234-567-7890, the call will be routed to North America via Sonera.

Notes

Note 1: Although in Chile all the carriers use the 1 prefix, the number of the carrier in advertising and common usage includes the 1 prefix as a part of the number.
