Where is telephone country code 973?

Answer 1

Bahrain is country code +973(dialed as 00 973 from many places). Most numbers have 8 digits after the country code +973.

Mobile numbers begin with +973 3, +973 663, or +973 666.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Answer 2

If your international access prefix is 00, then that's telephone country code +1, area code 973, which is Newark, New Jersey, USA.

Alternatively, if your international access prefix is 001, then that's telephone country code +973, which is Bahrain, a country on the Persian Gulf.

Because of the ambiguity, it is less confusing to quote international telephone numbers beginning with the plus symbol and the country code, omitting any access prefix.
