Online Country Code
Below table explains it all what the Country Codes is showing:
| Country name: | As shown in "Administrative Subdivisions of Countries". |
| City: | This will only list the most famous cities of target country with their phone code (and sometime Latitude and Longitude) in front. You can change the city using drop down combo box and see that GMT Deviation changes for them. You may have seen * (asterisk) sign before the name some of cities, well that means the city is the capital of selected country. Unfortunately, it is not possible to list all cities of countries and program would not be able to handle it well. |
| Long name: | The complete country name which is not commonly used. |
| Type: | Displays the type of selected country. |
| Dependency Of: | Where the country is depended from. |
| Location: | Continent position of target country in world. |
| TLD code: | The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) assigns two-letter codes for country-coded Top-Level Domains in Internet addresses. These codes are the same as the ISO 2-alpha codes in nearly all cases. See this list by IANA. |
| ISO Alpha-2: | Displays Alpha-2 codes from ISO 3166-1. See this list. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) under its standard ISO 3166 has established two-letter (2-alpha) codes for the various countries of the world, including independent states, dependent areas, and certain areas of contested jurisdiction or special status. These codes are published and revised when needed by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency. |
| ISO Alpha-3: | Alpha-3 codes from ISO 3166-1 (synonymous with World Bank Codes). These codes are actually provided by the United Nations Statistical Division. |
| ISO Number: | Numeric codes from ISO 3166-1. |
| IOC: | Codes assigned by the International Olympics Committee. These codes identify the nationality of athletes and teams during Olympic events. |
| ISO Currency Code: | The 3-letter code of country currency unit assigned by ISO . More Information also available on XE.Com World Currency Symbols page. |
| Language abb.: | Language name abbreviation, based on NLS Information for Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2. |
| FIPS 10-4 Code: | Codes from the U.S. standard FIPS PUB 10-4. |
| GMT Deviation: | Difference between country local time and Greenwich Mean Time (UTC) in hour. |
| Extra Information I & II: | You can catch a lot of more information about target country using provided links. |
| Distinguishing sign: | These are from the Transport Division of the UN Economic Commission for Europe. The United Nations maintains a list of Distinguishing Signs of Vehicles in International Traffic (Download table in PDF); these codes appear in oval-shaped signs displayed on the rear of vehicles. These codes were authorized by the UN's 1949 and 1968 Conventions on Road Traffic. (In the U.S., the use of the oval design is not controlled and vehicles often display similar ovals with a wide variety of non-standard codes.) Many of the vehicle codes created since the adoption of ISO 3166 coincide with either the ISO 2-alpha or 3-alpha codes, but many of the codes, especially the older European ones, do not. In Europe, the vehicle codes are often used in postal addressing, preceding the delivery code. (Complete postal addressing information is available from the Universal Postal Union.) |
| Dialing Code: | This is the code you need to use when dialing to that particular country from another country. The International Telecommunications Union assigns 1-, 2-, or 3-digit country calling codes for international telephone calls. The calling code "1" is assigned to the entire North American Numbering Plan Area, which includes the U.S. and its possessions, Canada, Bermuda and nations of the Caribbean. Within this region the "1" is followed by a NANPA 3-digit area code. Also, code "7" is assigned to a large calling area including the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan. All other countries and territories have their own 2-digit or 3-digit code. |
| IDDD Code: | The IDDD aka IDD (International [Distance] Direct Dialing) prefix is the international prefix needed to dial a call FROM the country listed TO another country. This is followed by the country dialing code for the country you are calling. The IDDD situation in many countries has been changing regularly. Some countries have multiple IDDDs, with each one used by a different long-distance carrier. |
| NDD Code: | The NDD (National Direct Dialing) prefix is the access code used to make a call WITHIN that country from one city to another (when calling another city in the same vicinity, this may not be necessary). The NDD is followed by the city/area code for the place you are calling. Phone numbers are often written in this format: +44-(0)1224-XXXX-XXXX. This expresses the numbers used for both international and national long-distance calls. In the example, + means 00 which is IDDD prefix and 44 indicates the country Dialing Code, while (0) indicates the NDD. When dialing from outside the country, the NDD would not be used after dialing the country code; when dialing from within that country, the NDD would be used, but the country code would not. |
