I can tell you about Argentina, for instance. - Country code is 54. - City codes are two digits. - Buenos Aires (the capital) is 11. - Phone numbers are 8 digits. - Inside Argentina, use prefix 15 to access a celluar phone from a fixed line. - Inside Argentina, prefix 15 is optional from another cellphone. - To call a cellphone from outside argentina, add 9 after the country code.
So, for example, to call cellphone # (11)12345678 >From a fixed line: 15-11-12345678 >From a cellphone on the same city: 12345678 or 15-12345678 >From another city, prefix 0 and 15 after the area code: 0-11-15-12345678 >From OUTSIDE argentina: +54-9-11-12345678 Last but not least, all of the above only applies to PSTN calls. If you wish to send SMS, the rules vary somewhat: To send an sms to any cellphone inside argentina, use full MSISDN, you can spare the country code. For example, using the same number to send an SMS: >From inside Argentina: 11-12345678 >From outside Argentina: 54-11-12345678 So, the 15 and 9 numbers doesn't apply. Tricky uh? ;) Hope it helps, Alejandro On 9/18/07, Iain Dooley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi all, > > i've gone through the WTNG and Wikipedia and started compiling a parseable > file format of all the country codes, mobile prefixes and number of digits > to expect after the prefix. > > some countries i could not determine the information for (i was working > quite quickly so it's possible the information is available but if there > wasn't an easily accessible list on the WTNG i generally just included the > prefix/number of digits as unknown... see notes at the top of the file for > more details). > > it would be great if everyone could please look for their country and > email me with updates. there were some really big countries in there that > didn't have very clear numbering plans for mobiles on the WTNG site!! > > you can check out the file here: > > http://www.workingsoftware.com.au/mobile_numbering.txt > > have a read of the notes up the top of the file. they discuss the file > format and the rules i used when compiling the list. > > let me know what you think! > > cheers > > iain > > -- Alejandro Guerrieri Magicom http://www.magicom-bcn.net/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/aguerrieri
