DIALLING PROCEDURES (INTERNATIONAL PREFIX, NATIONAL (TRUNK) PREFIX AND NATIONAL (SIGNIFICANT) NUMBER) (IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITU-T RECOMMENDATION E.164)

(POSITION ON 31 DECEMBER 1995)

______________________________________________________________________

Geneva, 1996

Note by the TSB

1.	This is the first list of "Dialling Procedures". It contains the national (trunk) prefix, the international prefix, the country code and the national (significant) number in alphabetical order in accordance with ITU-T Recommendation E.164.

2.	The national (trunk) prefix is the digit or combination of digits which must be dialled before an area (city) code when dialling a call to a subscriber from inside his own country but outside his own numbering area. It provides access to the automatic outgoing trunk equipment. If the entry in this column is blank for a particular country, it means that the country has a single nationwide numbering plan that does not use area codes, and all calls to anywhere in the country are dialled by using the entire local number.

	Accordingly, in the international service the trunk prefix of the country of destination must not be dialled. ITU-T recommends that the Administrations of countries which have not yet adopted a trunk prefix or are revising the prefix for access to their national trunk network should adopt a prefix composed of a single digit, preferably '0'.

3.	The international prefix is the digit or combination of digits which must be dialled before a country code when dialling a call to a country other than the one from which the call is being placed. If the entry in this column is blank for a particular country, it means that the country does not have direct dialling facilities to other countries (in other words, international calls must be placed through an operator).

	ITU-T recommends that the Administrations of countries which have not yet introduced automatic international operation or are, for various reasons, revising their numbering plans should adopt an international prefix (a code for access to the international automatic network) composed of the two digits '00'.

4.	The country code (code) is the combination of one, two or three digits characterizing the called country which is used to route calls to the required country. It is usually dialled after the international prefix. It is also published in the "List of ITU-T Recommendation E.164 assigned country codes".

5.	The national (significant) number is the number to be dialled following the national (trunk) prefix to obtain a subscriber in the same country but in a different local network or numbering area. The national (significant) number consists of the area code followed by the subscriber number. If the entry in this column is blank for a particular country, it means that the information is missing.

6.	For your information, this List is published as an Annex to the ITU Operational Bulletin. Furthermore, the information it contains is also available on the ITUDOC system (via ITU TIES) and can be consulted by subscribers by remote access. The information will be kept up to date and will be found in the 'ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector' part of the ITU document database, under the heading "Lists annexed to Operational Bulletin".

7.	Every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in the Annex is accurate. Administrations are requested to notify all modifications or missing information concerning their national (trunk) prefix, international prefix and the length of their national (significant) number by using the attached Form.

	1	When calling Sao Tome and Principe from other countries it is necessary to prefix the subscriber number with 
	the digits '12'.

	2	When dialling from Paris to Monaco or to other regions of France, the subscriber number must be prefixed by 
	'16'. When dialling from Monaco or from other regions of France to Paris the subscriber number must be 
	prefixed by '16 1'. In France the number will begin with '0' and the international prefix to '00' on 18 
	October 1996. At that time the '0' will have to be used on all domestic calls, including in the 
	same city, but will be omitted when dialling to France from other countries. After 18 October 1996, the 
	national (significant) number will be changed to 9 digits.

	3	When dialling from Ireland to Nothern Ireland, the area code may be prefixed by '080' instead of '0044'.

	4	On 12 October 1996, in Finland the trunk prefix will change to '0' and the international prefix  '00' will be 
	introduced, in addition to the existing international carrier access codes '990' Telecom Finland, '994' Telivo
	 and '999' Finnet International.

	5	When dialling from San Marino to Italy, the area code and subscriber number must be prefixed by '0' instead of
	 '0039'.

	6	When dialling from Italy to San Marino, the subscriber number must be prefixed by '0549' instead of '00378'.

	7	When dialling from Mexico to countries with country code '1', the area code and the subscriber number must be 
	prefixed by '95' instead of '98'. Calls to cellular subscribers use the prefix '94' instead of '91'.

	8	In Colombia the trunk prefix will change to '0' and the international prefix to '00' in September 1996.

	11	For calls from one Inmarsat terminal to another, the '00' prefix is followed by the country code (871 to 874) 
	and the terminal number followed by '#'.

	12	The national (significant) number length after the NPA (numbering plan area) '809' ('441' for Bermuda) is 7 
	digits.

	13	The country codes used by the following countries are: Algeria: '213'; Libya: '218'; Morocco: '212'; Tunisia:
