Map of International Telephone Country Codes By Country

Map created by Maximilian DörrbeckerThe map above shows all of the world’s international telephone country codes from 1 to 998, grouping them by the first digit.

There are 9 zones which cover:

• Zone 1: North America
• Zone 2: Africa (plus Aruba, Faroe Islands, Greenland and British Indian Ocean Territory)
• Zones 3–4: Europe
• Zone 5: Rest of the Americas
• Zone 6: Southeast Asia and Oceania
• Zone 7: Parts of the former Soviet Union
• Zone 8: East Asia and special services
• Zone 9: India, Middle East and the Rest of Asia

And since Europe is the only region to cover two zones here’s a more detailed map:

How were country codes originally assigned?

International telephone country codes weren’t assigned arbitrarily.

When international direct dialing was being developed (in the 1950s and 1960s), engineers and telecommunication officials—working under what is now the ITU‐Telecommunication Standardization Sector (formerly the CCITT)—designed a numbering plan with a few important goals in mind:

1. Geographic Grouping:
   • The codes were grouped roughly by region.
   • For example, the North American countries (the United States, Canada, and several Caribbean nations) were all grouped together under the code 1 (the North American Numbering Plan), while European, Asian, African, and other regions received codes starting with different digits.
   • This regional grouping made it easier to organize and route international calls.
2. Dialing Efficiency (Rotary Dial Considerations):
   • In the era of rotary phones, the time it took to dial a number depended on the number of pulses sent (each digit required a number of pulses equal to its value).
   • To minimize the delay when dialing long-distance calls, countries that handled a large volume of international traffic were given shorter codes (that is, codes with fewer digits and, when possible, lower numbers).
   • For instance, the United States and Canada got the single-digit code 1, because dialing “1” was quick and these countries had very high call volumes.
3. Technical and Routing Considerations:
   • The assignments had to be made in such a way that they didn’t conflict with local numbering plans—especially since many countries used a “0” as a trunk prefix for domestic calls.
   • The system needed to be both logically structured for international call routing and flexible enough to accommodate the needs of various national systems.
4. Historical and Organizational Factors:
   • In many cases, existing telephone networks and the influence of dominant telecommunications organizations (like AT&T in North America) played a role in shaping the plan.
   • The result was a system that balanced technical efficiency with the practical realities of a world already connected by disparate national telephone systems.

All these considerations were eventually formalized in the ITU’s E.164 recommendation, which still governs the international telephone numbering plan today.
