What country is area code 447?

Answer 1

Well in america there is a area code 447 set for Illonis, but it hasn't been put into effect yet. And maybe that isn't what you think is an American number. To get into the United Kingdom, you gotta dial 44 and alot of mobile numbers are 7 and 8 after, but hopefully that'll answer it.

Answer 2

Area code 447 is not assigned to any specific country. In the North American Numbering Plan, area codes are typically three digits long and are assigned to specific geographic regions within the United States, Canada, and certain other countries. Area code 447 does not conform to this numbering system and is likely a fictitious or non-standard number.

Answer 3

Oh, it looks like you might have gotten a bit mixed up there, friend. Area code 447 isn't actually tied to a specific country. Area codes are typically used for phone numbers within a specific region, not countries. If you're trying to reach someone with that area code, you might want to check if it's correct or ask them for more information. Just take a deep breath, there's no mistakes, just happy little accidents.

Answer 4

Area code 447 isn't assigned to any specific country. Area codes are typically used for telephone numbers within a country, not internationally. So, unless you're trying to call the landline of a mysterious lost city or a secret underground lair, you might want to check your facts before dialing.

U.S./North American area code +1 447 will go into service in 2014 as an ordinary geographic area code, as an overlay on area code +1 217 for part of Illinois including Champaign and Springfield.

Mexico also has an area code 447, serving northeastern Michoacán, including Maravatío. Landline numbers are +52 447; mobile phone numbers are +52 1 447. The remainder of the number is a further 7 digits for landlines and mobiles.

Other countries may have a domestic area code 447 or similar.

However, "area code 447" often refers to a range of numbers in the United Kingdom (telephone country code +44). Numbers beginning with +44 7400 through +44 7999 are mobile phones, but numbers beginning with +44 70 are personal "follow-me" numbers that can be forwarded to anywhere in the world. Some of these "follow-me" numbers may be legitimate, but they are also very popular with internet scammers.

Scam phone numbers in the United Kingdom (+44):

Most "419" scams using +44 70xx numbers involve emails that are sent from Nigeria and other West African countries, not from the UK! If you see a +44 70xx number in a 419 scam email it usually means you're dealing with criminals based in Nigeria.

UK phone numbers starting with '70' are "Personal numbering" in the "Find me anywhere" range. Charges for calls to these numbers are not distance-dependent. They can cost as much as UK£ 0.50 (USD 0.90) per minute to call and can forward the call to virtually any phone number in the world. Forwarding numbers can be set up for free and completely anonymously via websites such as uknumbers.com.

In most cases when you call one of these numbers the phone that starts ringing will actually be a mobile phone somewhere in Nigeria, as the UK number has been programmed to auto-forward calls to another number. These +44 70xx numbers are used as a redirect service to obscure the fact that the person taking the call is not actually based in Europe. The UK number is used to lend credibility to the scam.

Answer 6

Canadian area code 447 is in that famous part of Canada called "Illinois," one of the more southerly provinces. Canada shares its telephone area code system with the USA and US territories, plus 18 miscellaneous islands in or near the Caribbean. Area code 447 is planned to be an overlay on area code 217, serving part of Illinois, including Champaign and Springfield, probably some time in 2014 (exact date t.b.a.).

If you see something that should be dialed 1-447-xxx-xxxx, that's in the new Illinois area code.

If you see something that should be dialed as 011-447-etc., that's telephone country code +44 (United Kingdom) and either a cellphone (+44 74 through +44 79) or a personal "follow-me" number (+44 70). Those "follow-me" numbers can be forwarded to anywhere in the world, which unfortunately makes them very popular with Internet scammers.

(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 7

The country code 447 is for the United Kingdom. The 44 denotes a call being placed to the United Kingdom, while the 7 indicates that the number being dialed belongs to a cell phone.
