Who assigns countries telephone prefixes? that is... why is the US code 1.... KSA 966.... and so on...

Kansai Teacher replied: ""Country codes are short alphabetic or numeric geographical codes (geocodes) developed to represent countries and dependent areas, for use in data processing and communications. Several different systems have been developed to do this. The most famous of these is ISO 3166-1. The term country code frequently refers to international dialing codes, the E.164 country calling codes." [1] E.164: I think the ITU is responsible for assigning the codes. "ITU, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland is an international organization within the United Nations System where governments and the private sector coordinate global telecom networks and services." [2]"

setting up ISP in Spokane, WA. How can I cofirm which Telephone Prefixes are LOCAL? Where can I get a list of telephone prefixes which are local to Spokane Washington, to make sure they are not long-distance access numbers? The area code is (509). South Hill of Spokane. I checked the phone book but did not see listing which specified which three digit prefixes were local to this area. There must be a place I can confirm online that will tell me which prefixes are local to this geographical area. Thank you. Can you help me find it? NetZero is the ISP.

CrunchyCon replied: "Here you go: Also I believe Spokane is not long distance from Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Millwood, Greenacres, Otis Orchards, Colbert, Deer Park, Airway Heights, Cheney, Medical Lake, and maybe a few others. Those are just the ones I know for sure."

Is there some way to find out exactly what area a telephone prefix is in? I am trying to find out exactly what area the prefix 435 is in the 586 area code. Charo, I did state 586 area code. I didn't know that other countries would have to same area code and the United States. So I will let everyone know that this is in the UNITED STATES.

jason a replied: "it is the Flint Michigan area use google and search 586-435"

zaffaris replied: "Yes, but you need the area code along with the prefix. There are prefixes that are used throughout the country. What makes them exclusive to a specific area is the combination of the prefix plus the area code."

Dan in Boston replied: "Use to lookup prefixes."

Sidoney replied: "Your Prefix Search Results Searching for area code 586, prefix 435: Area Code: 586 Prefix: 435 Location: ROSEVILLE Other Info: CLEC State = MI I have to point out that now that only means that at one time that number originated from there.

What area/location has the telephone prefix 866? An unidentified caller keeps calling my cell phone but doesn't leave a message. I would like to know if this is just a solicitor or someone else.

Kelly replied: "it's not an area code it is a toll free calling number. more than likely a solicitor or collector."

shortygoldstein replied: "It's probably a tele-marketer"

dantin21 replied: "Its a toll free number just like a 1-800 number. It could be a solicitor or maybe just a business"

missesbean2u replied: "I get a phone call from an 866 # too. For me they leave a message asking me to prescreen movies so I think maybe for you it is a telemarketer. If they call again you might answer and politely ask to be taken off their list."

AnonymousQuestionerAnswerer replied: "It's a solicitor. They dial your number and whenever you pick up they trace your number back to their company for telemarketers. That's why when ypu pick up, no one answers and they hang up. Pain in butt but it happens all the time. Buy a Telezapper"

snowingtears replied: "just look in ur phone book it will show all the states and area coeds theres no 866 in it"

How do i call this Canadian company from the UK? (Telephone Prefix)? It`s for flight network. They give two numbers on their website: (905) 820-4321 and (1-800) 671-5032 Thank you

Paul replied: "dial 001 first"

George replied: "To call Canada from the UK, you need to do the following: 00 + 1 + Area Code + Telephone So it should look as such: 00+1+905+820 4321 The 1 800 is a free service, not usually able to call it from abroad. Hope this helps"

Paul_1966 replied: "It is actually possible to call most U.S. & Canadian 800 numbers (and 888 etc.) from the U.K. now, although you will still be charged the normal international rate, so there is no advantage other than convenience if you don't have another "normal" number. So just use the regular number, with 00 for international followed by country code 1 prefixed, i.e. 00-1-905-820-4321. You are calling the Erin Mills, Ontario area (western suburbs of Toronto area)."
