This is a list of country calling codes defined by ITU-T recommendation E.164.

At a glance

Country calling codes form a prefix code, hence they can be organized as a tree:

In depth

When it becomes necessary to decode a phone listing or a string of dialed numbers that is delivered to a device from a switch it becomes obvious that the framers of the numbering code had just such an exercise in mind when they assigned the codes. If you read any dialed number starting with the "+" and move left to right, every match is unique. You can see this by examining the tree above. For example, if the number is +49123456780, you can be assured that the country code is +49 for Germany, since there are no assignments for 490 to 499. So, as soon as a number read left to right matches a number in the table, you have the correct country code.

Zone 1 – North American Numbering Plan Area

Areas within NANPA (North American Numbering Plan Area) are assigned area codes as if they were all areas within one country. The codes below in format +1-XXX represent area code XXX within the +1 NANPA zone — not a separate country code. For example, the dialing code for Guam is +1 (the NANPA country code) followed by the area code 671 — not +671 or +1671.
While the name is "North American Numbering Plan Area", the NANP area codes just cover most of the Anglo American nations and a few other nations. Excludes Mexico and the Central America nations.

• These countries are part of the North America Numbering Plan (NANP), even though they may be geographically far from North America (Mexico is not included). The country code for all NANP countries is 1; the numbers that follow are used in the same way as area codes are in the U.S. and Canada.

History

CCITT, the predecessor of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T), developed the first formal list of telephone country codes. This list was included in the 1964 CCITT Blue Book, among other international telecommunication recommendations, which would eventually become ITU-T recommendation E.164.

An earlier system of country codes for European use was mentioned in the 1960 CCITT Red Book. Some of these country codes were retained in the CCITT country code assignments and remain in effect (e.g. France +33, United Kingdom +44).

For further details on country code history and development, see History of Country Codes (WTNG).
