International Phone Codes by Country: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

In today’s interconnected world, making international calls has become commonplace. To ensure seamless communication across borders, understanding international phone codes by country is essential. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of these codes, organized by continent for easy reference.

Understanding International Phone Codes

An international phone code is a numerical prefix used to identify a specific country when making international calls. It is typically preceded by an exit code, which varies depending on the country you are calling from.

For instance, to call a number in France from the United States, you would dial the US exit code (011), followed by the France country code (33), and then the local phone number.
