What country code from UK is 00128?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, 00128 isn't a country code for the UK. The country code for the UK is +44. 00128 sounds more like a random number you'd dial by mistake after a few too many pints at the pub. Like, whoops, wrong country code!

Answer 2

00 isn't part of the country code, it is the international dialing prefix for outbound calls from the UK. Since many countries use other international dialing prefixes, it is best to quote international telephone numbers beginning with a single plus symbol and the correct telephone country code; in this case, that would be +1 28.

Telephone country code +1 is North America, including the USA, Canada, and certain islands in or near the Caribbean. You need the next three digits to narrow down the location:

• +1 281 = Houston, Texas, USA
• +1 284 = British Virgin Islands
• +1 289 = suburbs of Toronto, Canada

Note that telephone country codes never begin with a zero.

(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.)
