Country calling code lookup: find any country's code, or which country a code is

How do I find a country's calling code?

1. 1Type a country name, or a code in any form: 44, +44, 0044 or 011 44. A code shared by several countries, like +1 or +7, lists all of them; add the area code (+1 876) to narrow it.
2. 2Read the calling code, the exit code you dial to leave that country, the trunk prefix its numbers drop abroad and an example mobile number.
3. 3Under What do I dial?, pick where you're calling from and to, and add the number if you have it, to get the exact digits to dial.
4. 4Follow a linked country name for its full number format page: lengths, mobile and landline examples, and how to store its numbers.

Example

You enter

United States, or the code +1.

You get

Calling code +1, exit code 011 to dial abroad, no trunk prefix, an example number +1 201 555 0123 and a link to the United States number format page. Typing +1 alone lists every country that shares it.

Developers

Look up exit and trunk prefixes while writing phone input validation, then use libphonenumber rather than hard-coding them.

What can’t this tool tell you?

• It gives the code for a country, not the country of a whole number; for that, use the phone number country lookup.
• Exit codes are the default for each country; some carriers use their own, and Brazil's include a carrier code.
• A code tells you nothing about whether a number exists or is in service.
• Shared codes such as +1 need the area code to tell countries apart, and the tool only narrows by leading digits the data records.

Common questions

+1. The United States shares it with Canada and the Caribbean countries of the North American Numbering Plan, so the area code tells you which country a +1 number is in.

Yes. Both use +1 as part of the North American Numbering Plan, and calls between them are dialled 1 + area code + number, with no international exit code.
