Covert 07-Feb-1990 0105" Subject: IDDD Codes John Levine points out some errors in the country code list posted by Chris Johnston. In a separate posting I have re-posted the correct list based on the latest CCITT Blue Book. The following comments apply to John Levine's posting: >St. Barts and the French part of St. Martin are admistratively part of >Guadeloupe, and I believe that they share its code 590. This is correct. 596 is now _only_ Martinique. Up until about five years ago the entire French Antilles was 596, at which point Guadeloupe (including French St. Martin and St. Barts) was split off to 590. >>Guantanamo Bay +53; All Points 99 >The country code for all of Cuba is 53. I realize that it's not dialable >from the U.S. except via a 700 number in Florida that rarely works. Can >you dial, say, Havana from other places via +53 1 234567 or some such? Yes. Cuba is dialable from Canada, the U.K., Switzerland, and other places. The city code for Havana is 7. A 1986 Reading, England, phone book indicates that Havana is/was the only city served. Guantanamo Bay can _only_ be reached from the U.S. When dialling 011 53 99 xxxx from the U.S. you can hear dialtone from the PBX at Guantanamo Base just before the four digit extension is dialled. 0xxx (zero followed by anything) gets you the base operator. /john ------------------------------ Organization: Philips Telecommunication and Data Systems, Subject: Re: Revised Country Code List Date: Wed, 7 Feb 90 13:27:11 MET From: Dolf Grunbauer Patrick, I compare the list of Chris Johnston, which he obtained using the list supplied by Mike Grant, with our coutry code list showing the following differences and updates. Here are the results: I found the following deviation (mostly spelling differences and adding of some cities): > Antigua +1; All Points 809 Antigua and Barbuda +1; All Points 809 > Aruba +297; All Points * Aruba +297; All Points 8 > Austria +43; Vienna 222 Austria +43; Vienna 1 or 222 > Bangladesh +880 Bangladesh +880; Dhaka 2 > Belgium +32 Belgium +32; Brussel 2 > Brunei +673 Brunei Darussalam +673 > Burma None?

She answered: "Of course, which countries do you want to know ?". After unsuccesfull attempts of two of the countries below she stated that she did not have the numbers of these countries and gave a special number instead (which is 06-0418). The reason is that these countries cannot be dialed directly (no automatic calls) but calls to these countries should be requested on a special number (which is 06-0410). The lady on the special foreign telephone numbers could supply me some country codes (note that this is the situation from the Netherlands, the `via' means that when asking for a telephone connection to the involved country the Dutch operator has to call this country/city): Albania unknown, calls go via Rome, Italy Burma +95 Falkland +500 (?); calls go via London, UK Jemen (South) unknown, calls go via London, UK Korea (North) +862 Lebanon +961 Mongolia unknown, calls go via USSR Syria +963 Vietnam +84 Dolf Grunbauer Tel: +31 55 433233 Internet dolf@idca.tds.philips.nl Philips Telecommunication and Data Systems UUCP ....!mcvax!philapd!dolf Dept.
