What are International Calling Codes?
International Calling Codes (also known as Country Dialing Codes) are numeric prefixes required to call a telephone number in another country via the international telephone network. These codes are defined by the ITU-T E.164 standard. Every country has a unique code, such as the 1 for the United States and Canada, 44 for the United Kingdom, or 81 for Japan. Using the correct country code is the first essential step in making a successful international call.
