I was wondering if anyone has put together a comprehensive list (that is reasonably maintained) that lists country codes, landline numbers, mobile numbers, etc. The particular requirement is for a dialplan to know what is going to be charged to whom.
For example, mobile and landline rates are the same in the US the US has a unified numbering plan of 1NXXNXXXXXX, while the UK has: 441xxx geographic based landline 442xxx geographic based landline 443xx reserved 444xx reserved 445xx corp and voip 446xx reserved 447xx pagers, personal etc 448xx national rate, local rate, freephone, some mobile, blah 449xx premium services Although I dont see something that states what a valid number actually is. So idealy to avoid getting charged a higher rate I would want to limit all calls to the UK to region codes starting with a 1 or 2 (although from what I have seen most of the 2x is 20 for london). I have found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code but I dont know if its accurate, and would prefer a more authoritative source for the information. I also dont know how out of date that is, some countries have easier telecom laws that allow people to set up phone companies then change the rate form what was published for termination. I certainly dont wanna get stuck with a pass through billing situation on those. If anyone has a very well maintained list somewhere (voip-info didnt seem to have anything, at least not the keywords I have tried with google, admittedly I havent spent much time yet) ... This has to be an issue that voip resellers have to deal with so there must be lists somewhere, although odds are those are rate sheets from the actual provider doing the termination since very few countries own the wire all the way to all those foreign countries, although more are starting to. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
